New Cards
Players can expect to acquire newly released cards in Marvel Snap through the following ways:
- Purchasing the Premium Season Pass and obtaining the featured card.
- Opening them in Spotlight Caches.
- Purchasing them directly with Collector’s Tokens from the Token Shop.
Series 4 and 5
New cards that are released as either Series 4 or Series 5 cards and can be obtained via Spotlight Caches and Collector’s Tokens and the Token Shop. For guides on what cards are available in each Series, their ratings, and decks check out our guides below:
“Big Bad” Series 5 Cards
The follow cards are classified as “Big Bad” cards that are not planned to be ever downgraded from Series 5:
“Indefinite” Series 4 Cards
The follow cards have been confirmed to be staying in Series 4 until further announcements. As we yet do not have any precedence, we cannot say how long they might stay in Series 4.
Season Pass
Each month starts a new season for Marvel Snap, where players are able to purchase the Premium Season Pass to obtain the new card for the season. This card is then added as a Series 5 card after the season ends. For a detailed guide, check out our guide on Seasons:
Series Drop
With the monthly update patch (not with the start of a new season or daily reset time), cards are demoted from Series 5 to 4, and 4 to 3 to make them easier for players to obtain. You can find the history of Series Drops and upcoming announcements here and information about Series here.
Initially, all cards were on the same schedule starting in Series 5, dropping to Series 4 and eventually Series 3. According to the latest May 2023 update in the card acquisition model however, there will be more flexibility in what cards drop series and when. Examples include:
- Preserving the Series of a card, like the “Big Bads” Thanos and Galactus and “indefinite” Series 4 cards such as Darkhawk and Knull.
- A card may go from Series 5 directly to Series 3 to give it more play rate.
- A monthly series drop may even be skipped entirely when the meta looks fun and healthy.
These decisions will be made on a card-by-card basis based on data and player feedback instead of applying a blanket rule to all cards and will not be predictable going forward.
