During the weekend, there is now one more set of Missions for players to complete: The Bonus Challenge! These involve additional rewards for winning games related to the week’s new card and the Season Pass card. These missions provide extra Collector’s Tokens, Gold and Credits!
You need to win games with the card starting in your deck, and it does not count if the card was generated by cards such as Cable, Loki, and Maria Hill. Each of these reward amounts will vary depending on the difficulty of the mission.
There will be Bonus Challenge Missions available for each new card release to allow players to earn back Collector’s Tokens and subsidize their cost. Players can also expect the rewards to be stabilized at 200 Tokens to help them plan their token budget for the month.
A Blink in Time: Bonus Challenge – May 24, 2024
This week’s Bonus Challenge Missions are:
| Mission | # | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Win a Location with only 1 Card | 10 | 150 Credits |
| Win with Namora starting in your Deck | 4 | 300 Collector’s Tokens |
| Win with Skaar starting in your Deck | 4 | 100 Credits |
Second Dinner has changed the formula for the Bonus Challenge Missions in the A Blink in Time season. Below is a message from Griffin that explains the changes.
We wanted to share a reminder that we’re continuing our experiment with weekend Missions featuring the Season Pass card. This month we’ll be featuring Blink for the first weekend with consolidated rewards of 600 Gold. The following weekend Missions this Season will feature cards that synergize with Blink or the new Spotlight card of the week. As always, please share your feedback with us!
Griffin – Second Dinner
Decks with Namora
Most players will want to be efficient with these missions, so today we will give you four different decks that incorporate both cards featured each weekend.
We’ll also give you a short guide on how to get the most out of the decks and finish the missions quickly. First, let’s take a quick look at the new card’s performance this week.
For more information about the new card, make sure to check out our latest strategy guide on Namora as well:
Namora Performance
Namora was released to Marvel Snap at a strange time in the metagame, during the height of Leech and Junk decks. Two of these strategies have seen balance changes since the release, which makes analyzing the long term success for Namora tricky.
In relation to playing her as a card alone, the downside of other cards being added to your side of the board alone can impact her success. However, what she can do which could take some time to be fully realized, is sit within a deck which has a lot of potential in a world without Leech.
Decks with Leech
Decks with Sentry
The synergy cards are what may be the reason to pick this card up. These cards form a deck which can perform well into a field with less Leech and Junk decks. Namora then acts as another big synergy play for post-Wong which can win the game. This combines really well with cards like Jeff the Baby Land Shark and Nocturne as they can take the buffs and still be moved on the final turn of the game.
Decks with Jeff the Baby Land Shark
Decks with Nocturne
The key point though, is the deck’s success comes down to all the over cards also and this makes her feel quite limited although powerful when she works. A card you’re likely to see in On Reveal focused decks often going forward because the ceiling from her is that high.
Decks with Odin
Decks with White Tiger
What about just including her in “Good Cards” shells or ramping her out? In theory, these plans are excellent. The numbers add up to the “mini Doctor Doom” range but in reality it is underwhelming, and the reason for this is simple – you have better options.
Decks with Electro
Decks with Doctor Doom
If you want to do a midrange deck, try Ms. Marvel, or if you want to do a ramp deck simply playing Blink or even Vision competes with playing Namora. Whilst you can find success with these directions, she always just feels like the lesser option than including other cards.
Decks with Shadow King
Decks with Shang-Chi
Should you Buy Namora?
The answer as it stands is no, but the Wong On Reveal deck does impressive numbers and can be piloted and compete with most decks. However, other directions for the card are average at best and this makes her feel a little like a “One Deck” card. It may end up being a competitive deck, but her long term success will be linked to this deck. If you’re on any kind of a budget this is one your likely not going to miss skipping on.
In theory if it is ever at the top of the metagame, there are plenty of directions to attack it from. If you’re a fan of Wong decks though, don’t let me stop you.
Post-release score:
Namora
SafetyBlade
This deck looks to cut all the cards which can be used against our play and focus on pulling off some kind of Wong combination every game. We have three cards which can be relocated along with Echo to defend the Wong lane. Multiple big On Reveal plays and of course Odin for the turn 6 re-trigger.
The plan is simple, set up cards on the lanes your not playing Wong. Then Wong, then on turn 5play your best On Reveal play, White Tiger or Namora. Then on turn 6 you go for Doctor Doom or Odin.
Electro
SafetyBlade
Sandman may be useful in this early metagame so this Electro deck is leaning into the Sandman direction. The simple plan is to ramp into Blink, play bigger things than your opponent and aim to lock out a turn 6 with Sandman against most the decks currently looking to use the Werewolf By Night changes and Loki.
Skaar Decks
SafetyBlade
For this week’s crossover, no Blink required! Skaar is a challenge in the current metagame but this Namora deck goes all in. The goal is to prioritize the Namora line, then reduce Skaar using Wong into Namora. This then lets you play Skaar out as a final turn option or continue with other On Reveal options for the final turns. White Tiger remains as your secondary turn 5 on Wong play and with Ravonna Renslayer on board can even be played on turn 6 alongside a reduced Skaar.
SafetyBlade
If you just want to play big cards and have fun this weekend though, try this direction. Sunspot and Nebula allow for some early skips for She-Hulk or we simply play Jubilee into Blink. Skaar should average 2 Energy on the final turn giving you flexibility or you simply slam it down and soak the rest of the Energy into your Sunspot.

Closing Thoughts
Wins with the new card may seem a tall order some weeks depending what quality of card is released. Hopefully this guide helps you decide first if you want the card prior to the missions coming out, and what you can potentially play to complete the missions quickly!
Good Luck, Have Fun, and Stay Safe!
