Tier Explanation

This tier list is based on the long-term metagame. Card balances happen 2 to 3 times per month, so a card’s exact playrate may vary. This list should be a good representation of any card’s standing in the game outside of a specific meta.

• Tier 1: These are the cards that every player should own. At any given point, these cards seemingly have found a suitable deck in the meta.
• Tier 2: These cards may not always be the best in the game, but you will need them to make their archetype function. They can also offer a utility that makes the card stand out over Tier 3 cards.
• Tier 3: Solid cards to use, but not mandatory for any deck to function.
• Tier 4: Niche and off-meta cards that are often not used, but can still have a little utility.
• Tier 5: The most skippable cards. Unless you are a die-hard fan of the card, you will likely never use these.

How to Obtain Series 5 Cards

In Marvel Snap, you collect and unlock cards by increasing your Collection Level from upgrading your cards with Boosters or purchasing cards from the Token Shop with Collector’s Tokens. Each card is assigned to a Pool or Series of cards.

• Series 5 Cards are unable to be acquired from the Collector Level Track. Series 5 cards cost 6,000 Collector’s Tokens from the Token Shop, and have their dedicated space until a new card is released.

• Each week, a new Series 4 or 5 card is introduced to the game, replacing the previous one as the featured card in the Token Shop. For more information on card release schedules, click here.

• These cards also join their Series Seasonal Snap Pack for a period, alongside all the cards from the previous and current season. After this two months run, a card will drop to its Series Collector Snap Pack, and remain there unless a Series Drop happens.

• Cards may undergo a Series Drop at the discretion of the developer, disregarding how long ago it released. Second Dinner announces those ahead of time when one is planned.

“Big Bad” Cards

The following cards were classified as “Big Bad” cards (major villains in the Marvel multiverse) that are not planned to ever downgrade from Series 5. However, this concept has not been mentioned again since their first introduction, so they could still downgrade in the future. Second Dinner said they do not anticipate any future Big Bad cards at the moment.

• Galactus
• High Evolutionary
• Kang
• Thanos

Conclusion

There we have it! All Series 5 cards currently in Marvel Snap. Remember, the game pushes for a flexible deckbuilding, especially when missing some cards to complete your collection. Also, Marvel Snap is not a competitive game, so purchasing a card you know will be a lot of fun is 100% a good idea. It might even be buffed in the future!

I definitely understand the frustration of not being able to play a deck at its full potential, or finally having enough token to grab a card that is nerfed a few weeks later. Yet, this is how Marvel Snap was designed, and this constantly moving environment is also what makes it special.

Have we missed any ideas that raise or lower the bar for these cards? Let us know below, or on our Discord server.

Good Game Everyone.
