We’re excited to introduce Snap Packs — a major upgrade to how you unlock new cards and build your collection. Whether you’re a new player trying to catch up, a returning player who missed a few Seasons, or a dedicated veteran chasing every new release, this system is designed with you in mind. We’re aiming to launch Snap Packs in the April 29th patch. This date may move depending on testing or other variables but we wanted to let everyone know ahead of time.
Please check back later for our updated Snap Pack section! In the meantime, please consult our follow up articles for more information:
Quick Overview
The Token Shop is getting a massive upgrade — becoming a dedicated Card Shop where you’ll find:
- Snap Packs — Each guarantee 1 unowned card (no dupes!) and 2 bonus rewards*
- Spotlight Cards & Rotating Pinnable Cards — Just like today
- Free Daily Tokens — Login and redeem every day!
- Token Packs — Purchase Tokens right from the Card Shop with Gold
*These can be additional cards, variants, cosmetics, or currencies like Tokens, Boosters, and Credits (odds will vary).
Problems with the Current System
Right now, getting the cards you want in Marvel SNAP can feel frustrating — and slow.
- Returning players who missed multiple seasons find themselves way behind.
- New players struggle to catch up and play popular decks.
- Veteran players often have to rely on luck with Spotlight Caches, which can lead to duplicate cards and wasted rewards.
Snap Packs to the Rescue!
Snap Packs are designed to address these problems by giving players:
- Greater control over the cards you earn
- Catch up faster and cheaper
- A smoother collection journey
Let’s dive into each of these areas below.
Greater Control Over Cards You Earn
Snap Packs will help you chase the cards you want by offering different packs that each contain separate pools of cards. Below are the five different Snap Packs coming at launch.
- New Series 5 Packs
- Cost: 5,000 Collector’s Tokens
- Includes all Series 5 cards from the current and ONE previous Season.
- The card pool updates each WEEK with each Spotlight Card
- New Series 4 Packs
- 2,500 Collector’s Tokens
- Includes all Series 4 cards from the current and TWO previous Seasons
- The card pool updates each SEASON
- Collector’s Packs for Series 3, 4 and 5
- Separate packs for each of Series 3, 4, and 5.
- Series 3: 650 Collector’s Tokens
- Series 4: 2,000 Collector’s Tokens
- Series 5: 4,000 Collector’s Tokens
- Perfect for catching up
- Contains ALL cards not included in the New Series Card Packs above.
- Separate packs for each of Series 3, 4, and 5.
Catch Up Faster and Cheaper
Not only can you target older or lower Series cards but they’ll be cheaper than buying individual cards.
Gone are the days of just missing out on a Spotlight Card from the previous week and being filled with regret. New Series Packs contain all the cards from the current and previous season allowing you to wait until the moment is right to try and grab the one you’re looking for.
New Series Packs will also be cheaper than just buying a featured Spotlight Card directly. If you have all the cards from the current and previous Seasons, the newest Spotlight Card will always be an automatic pull and at a discount!
Collector’s Packs, available for Series 3, 4, and 5 cards, will be priced at a significant discount compared to waiting for them to pop up in your Token Shop individually. This allows new or returning players to catch up faster and for less.
Token Packs are also being introduced allowing players, if they so choose, to purchase Tokens for Gold directly from the Card Shop. Players can then catch up as fast as they want without having to wait for daily rotations or Spotlight Caches.
A Smoother Collection Journey
Bye-Bye Spotlight Cache — Hello Tokens!
The Spotlight Cache system is being retired with this update, and all your existing Spotlight Keys will automatically be converted into Tokens at a rate of 3000 Tokens per Key. That means you can dive right into the new system with a solid Token stash ready to spend.
Where you used to receive Spotlight Keys on your Collection Level track, you will now earn 3000 Tokens instead, keeping your card acquisition flow steady.
Previously, Spotlight Keys and Tokens were only able to be used on predetermined Cards that were available in the Spotlight Caches or random ones rotating in Spotlights. While those Spotlights will still exist, you can now use your hard-earned Tokens to buy new and old cards from any Series you want at any time.
The changes that Snap Packs are bringing are entirely additive. A new player’s journey of earning cards as you play isn’t going away. You’ll continue to earn Series 3 cards as you progress through the Collection Level track.
But Wait, There’s More!
More Cards, More Fun Every Season
To top it off, Marvel SNAP is planning to release more cards every season. Alongside the improved Snap Packs system, you’ll be able to grab new cards faster and experiment with more decks right away.
Custom Packs Coming Soon
Snap Packs not only provide the ability to target cards based on age or series, they also create endless opportunities for bespoke “Custom Packs” in the future. Think packs like “X-Men”, “Discard”, or “Creator’s Deck of the Week”. We’re just scratching the surface of how Snap Packs can evolve over time!
Ready to SNAP Into the Future?
With Snap Packs, we’re making it easier, faster, and more fun to build your ultimate Marvel SNAP collection. We’ll be sharing more as we get closer to launch so stay tuned for more details — and get ready to open packs, collect cards, and build your new favorite deck.
Marvel SNAP’s future is in your hands. See you in the Card Shop!
