Marvel Snap September 2023 (Loki For All Time) Bundles Guide – Value and Comparison Chart

The upcoming Loki For All Time September 2023 Season remains about the same as last month in terms of bundles. However, unlike August’s bundles, we see more non-whale bundles here. So, let’s break down which bundles deserve your attention in the first place. Keep in mind that contents, costs, and dates are yet to be confirmed and are not final until announced or released.

How the Chart Works

Chart Changes For September

We decided to remove two rows from the chart: the total number of Collector’s Tokens in a bundle, and the total number of new cards you could get as a player with a nearly completed collection. This was done because they provided little utility, as expensive bundles will always give more resources than cheap ones. You can still find this data in a separate bundle page; it just won’t be in the comparison chart anymore.

Instead of these two values, we add three new values previously missing from the charts. Now you can find out how many maximum Tokens per dollar a particular bundle offers. This assumes that you will convert all Gold from the bundles into Tokens via Token Tuesdays.

Also, the chart now contains the number of new cards for a player with a nearly completed collection for every $10 or 700 Gold spent. These values will be useful alongside the card difference value versus buying Token Tuesdays (Series 5 card difference value at the bottom of the chart). This way, you will be able to more accurately compare bundles within each bundle group – both for Gold and for dollars.

The card difference value does the same thing as before, but it now shows up at the bottom of the chart with the Series 5 card icon (as well as Cards per $10/700 Gold) because that’s what’s being compared. Also, this value is now next to the Progress Value, so you’ll be more comfortable looking at two of the most important values at once.

You can also find previous seasons’ comparison charts here:

Days of Summer Past

The first named bundle to greet us in September is the Days of Summer Past Bundle. This is a pretty good bundle this month, second only to the expensive Aspect of Heimdall Bundle in terms of card value. And since this value is mostly concentrated in the 3,000 Gold, consider that you can reallocate this Gold to some good bundles or cosmetics, thus making the value larger or smaller.

Also, this bundle has the highest value of maximum Collector’s Tokens per dollar among all September bundles if you spend the Gold received on Token Tuesdays.

Beach Bums

The Beach Bums Bundle costs only 2,800 Gold, but, just like last month, it offers too little value for that cost. If you look at the progress value, it’s barely better than standard in-game shop prices; if you look at the new cards value, this bundle is worse than getting new cards through Token Tuesdays. Plus, these three variants are the only ones that allow you to at least consider making a purchase.

Cannonball Run

The Cannonball Run bundle has been changed and is different from the earlier datamine version. This bundle now contains 4,000 credits instead of 3,600 credits, which is good for it, because now it has more value in the number of Series 5 cards, compared to Token Tuesdays.

Combined with a progress value of 1.2 it’s a pretty good bundle! I could say it’s a slightly better version of Token Tuesday, but involving getting new cards through Spotlight Caches instead of directly buying them for Collector’s Tokens. Also, this bundle has some cosmetics on top as a nice bonus. So it’s a decent bundle for its cost, if you manage the Spotlight Caches you receive correctly.

Aspect of Heimdall

The Aspect of Heimdall Bundle is comparable in price and value to the Death Becomes Her Bundle. However, here we see slightly less value in terms of the number of new cards (0.47 vs. 0.51) and the lack of Gold as a flexible currency. Thus, this bundle is clearly worse than Death Becomes Her, but it’s still pretty good for “Whales” (i.e. for those who are willing to spend a lot of money to get a lot of resources).

Emergency Pirate Outfit

Emergency Pirate Outfit is a decent bundle for its price. Yes, there are no Tokens in it, but the balance of Gold and Credits for $20 gives it a new cards a value of 0.11. Still, it’s hardly worth prioritizing this bundle for purchase unless you don’t have Kitty Pryde.

Avast Ye, Admiral!

Avast Ye, Admiral! is the first bundle in a long time that can be recommended to any player. It costs only 1,600 Gold, gives more progress than than store purchases, and contains a random variant! You can think of it as a Token Tuesday bundle for 1,400 gold, but for the extra 200 Gold you get 600 Credits and a variant. Conclusion: a solid bundle at a reasonable price, and a must buy unless some expensive and great bundle for gold in October becomes known.

Sword & Shield

The tradition of releasing bundles with cosmetics from past seasons will come to an end in October, as these bundles only include content from beta seasons. Nevertheless, the Sword & Shield Bundle will become available for purchase in September with cosmetic content from the September 2022 season.

Keep in mind that this offer is significantly worse than a Season Pass because you don’t get the card, 900 Gold, or mystery variants that were part of the 2022 Season Pass. The Sword & Shield Bundle has a cosmetic value of 4.5, so if you like these particular variants or avatars, it can be a very worthwhile purchase.

Artist Showcase: Kim Jacinto

The Artist Showcase: Kim Jacinto Bundle is once again of rather disappointing value for an Artist Showcase bundle. If you have both Darkhawk and Master Mold, the value of this bundle is terrible; you’ll spend 7,500 Gold and get 0.25 fewer Series 5 cards than if you just buy Token Tuesdays or convert your Gold to Credits.

Considering Master Mold isn’t a very good card and Darkhawk decks are not the strongest in the game anymore, buying this bundle to get those two cards is a pretty questionable decision. If the Artist Showcase: Kim Jacinto Bundle is going to be released like this, it’s better to skip it and spend your Gold on something else.

Festival of Unity

The Festival of Unity Bundle, unlike previous $5 Bundles, doesn’t contain valuable currency like Gold or Collector’s Tokens. Yes, 900 Credits is a decent amount for $5, and the values of this bundle are pretty good. But if you haven’t bought similar cheap bundles to get Gold before, you should probably skip this one.

Token Tuesday Bundles

Token Tuesday Bundles are still a good choice for converting Gold to Cards.

As before, we still recommend you choose other Gold bundles that offer more value in the number of cards they provide. However, considering there will be no insanely good bundles for Gold in September, choosing Token Tuesdays will be a good choice. Alternatively, you should consider saving up your Gold until November if you want to utilize it as efficiently as possible.

Mystery Pack Bundles

The $5 Mystery Packs are pretty disappointing, both when compared to the rest of the Mystery Packs and compared to other bundles for USD (which have significantly decreased in value recently). Six months ago, we could probably recommend some of them for purchase; now, they don’t stand up to any competition when comparing value per dollar.

The $10 Mystery Pack Bundles are much worse than the $20 ones, which is much better due to the included Collector’s Tokens. In terms of value, these bundles are similar to Token Tuesdays if you buy them with dollars. However, as with the $5 and $10 bundles, their value is lower than other bundles for real money. Therefore, don’t consider high-priced Mystery Packs as priority bundles for purchase. They’re only worth looking at if you’re a “Whale” and can afford to buy all the bundles to get the maximum number of cards.

Booster Pack Bundles

Booster Packs, just as before, are too bad to be a way to speed up your progress and get more cards. Just don’t buy them, especially with the addition of Conquest mode since you can easily get lots of boosters in the Proving Grounds without risking anything.

Conclusion

We didn’t get very many good bundles this month. We have one decent bundle in each category – except for the expensive Gold bundles.

The best cheap Gold bundle is the Avast Ye, Admiral! Bundle. A good, cheap bundle for dollars is Festival of Unity. Of the other bundles for dollars, the good ones are Aspect of Heimdall and Days of Summer Past. The other bundles are probably not worth your attention, unless you need a specific card or variant.

Also, when choosing a bundle to buy, it’s worth considering that the those mentioned above have a high chance of being changed before their release. In addition, the prices and value of the October bundles are likely to be known soon, so it may be worth waiting for this information to make the most informed decision possible.
