Finally, a bundle with a value that seems very good for the main player base has become available for purchase in Marvel Snap. Let’s break it down in detail.
Guide
Right from the first glance, the bundle shows that at the price of 3,500 Gold, it offers more Tokens than we are used to seeing with Token Tuesdays. In this case, with a coefficient of 0.8, we could theoretically get 2,800 Tokens, which gives a value of 106.7% in favor of the Pryde Before the Fall bundle, containing 3,000 Tokens, even in the worst comparison for it.
If we use the standard model, in which we recently started taking a coefficient of 0.75 into account when purchasing Tokens for Gold and you lack enough to buy a card in the Token Shop, then in this case, you can expect an average of 2,625 Tokens. This gives the bundle a Progress Value of about 115%.
Thus, no matter how you look at it, this bundle is very suitable for a wide audience as a profitable purchase, providing a pleasant boost in the number of Collector’s Tokens compared to the usual spending of Gold. According to my calculations, by spending Gold on bundles with 115% value over the course of a year, as an F2P player, you can afford one additional Series 4 card, and if you buy Season Passes, then approximately one more Series 5 card.
It’s also worth noting that if you don’t have Kitty Pryde, purchasing the bundle will give you the opportunity to play her variant instead of the base card. Yes, the regular Kitty Pryde will still be in the Token Shop and Spotlight Caches, but you’ll be able to start playing her with the variant without any restrictions. So, let’s quickly run through a comparison with other bundles, assuming you already have Kitty Pryde, and then we’ll analyze the scenario if you don’t have her.
Comparison With Other Bundles
When looking at all named bundles for Gold over the past 6 months (1st chart) and in the price range of about 3,000-4,000 Gold over the past year (2nd chart), it is evident that the Pryde Before the Fall bundle, while not at the very top of the charts, shows a solid above-average performance in both cases. This indicates that even at a relatively low price, it is a worthy deal that you don’t come across often.
If we take the last 6 months and look at them from a slightly different angle, considering how many new Series 5 cards you get for every 700 Gold spent with an almost complete collection by purchasing the bundle, it turns out that the bundle only loses to the Glows to the Chest and Comet Cruisin’ bundles, which are in entirely different price categories and value levels.
So yes, we can say that this bundle is among the best in recent times, even without considering the possibility for some players to play the Kitty Pryde variant as a Series 4 card.
What if you don’t have Kitty Pryde?
Now let’s see how the bundle performs if you don’t have Kitty Pryde, who is a Series 4 card, and you want to use the variant to use her in your decks this way, without buying the base version.
So the numbers speak for themselves. You get almost 230% Progress Value if you buy the Pryde Before the Fall bundle without having Kitty Pryde. The more than twofold value is also excellently demonstrated in the charts below, where the bundle in question stands head and shoulders above any other bundle for Gold under the same comparisons we’ve already made.
In these calculations, the value of Kitty Pryde is taken as 3,000 Collector’s Tokens, since buying her in the Spotlight Shop is the only way to get Kitty guaranteed right now without waiting for a Spotlight Cache, from which you will get her with some chance.
The Usefulness Of The Variant In The Meta
Since the Kitty Pryde variant has potential value as a replacement for the base card, and because those who already have Kitty might want to understand how powerful she is right now, we’ll take a quick look at how useful the card or variant is in the meta.
Bounce and Thena decks are among the best where Kitty is played and is an important and indispensable part of the deck. If you’re a veteran player and you enjoy this kind of reactive gameplay, the Kitty variant is definitely for you.

If you’re a new player and you’re wondering whether to buy the bundle for Kitty, the answer is most likely yes! Below is a deck that even a player without a single Series 3 card can use to climb the ladder confidently at lower collection levels, utilizing Kitty’s ability. The idea is to have an explosive sixth turn, preceded by boosting Angela and Bishop, as well as setting up Ka-Zar and Blue Marvel.
America Chavez can be replaced with Strong Guy here, but I found that in this case, playing out your entire hand on turn 6 becomes more difficult, and the explosive effect might be weaker. However, I recommend trying both options if you decide to play it.

Conclusion
Thus, Pryde Before the Fall is an excellent bundle for those without Kitty and a very solid deal for those who do.
I highly recommend buying it if you have the chance, especially considering its low cost. The bundle receives 4 stars instead of 5 only because the final rating is based on the ideal player with almost a full collection, who won’t get an extra benefit from getting a Kitty variant. For such a player, the Progress Value of the bundle will vary from 106.7% to 115%, depending on whether they want to wait for an good Token Tuesday or not. These numbers are an important part of the bundle.
Additionally, Collector’s Tokens may not be suitable for everyone since they do not allow for card upgrades and acquiring new splits. Nevertheless, the bundle is one of the best we’ve seen in recent times, especially in its price range.
