Marvel Snap Patch 2.0.2 Notes – June 29, 2022 – Card Balance Updates, New Locations, Bug Fixes, and More

Marvel Snap players currently enjoying the closed beta is anticipating a game update sometime this week, according to Ben Brode. Players are collecting new cards, climbing the Collection Level rewards and reaching Pool 3 to obtain some more powerful cards.

Due to the nature of this progression system, some powerful cards have already dominated the meta, namely the combination of Nova + Carnage, and Moon Girl + Devil Dinosaur. Players may be expecting some sort of rebalancing for such cards, as well as buffing of underpowered cards.

Some of those changes in the patch this week may have been inadvertently shown on Twitter before the update goes live. Charlene, Product Manager of Second Dinner, has shared with us four decks that they used to climb the ranked ladder with and reach the Infinite rank:

Got past infinite rank on #marvelsnap during our beta's very first season😊 I'm currently sitting at 110. I really enjoy playing around with diff decks I can make with my collection. Here are the 4 #marvelsnapdecks I built and rotated around during my climb. pic.twitter.com/c7qMxpGQAT

We can see some cards have modified cost and power:

Okoye:
- 2 cost ▶ 1 cost
Devil Dinosaur:
- 3 cost ▶ 4 cost
Moon Girl:
- 3 cost ▶ 4 cost
- 3 power ▶ 4 power

Note that these changes may not be final and we may see different results when the patch arrives this week, and the changes may also be reflected on the card abilities, not just their cost and power. Okoye’s cost has been reduced, but the card was already widely played and will be interesting to see whether the On Reveal effect will be changed.
