Marvel Snap's Amazing Spider-Season Kicks Off!
September brings a thrilling new season to Marvel Snap (Free), themed around the iconic Spider-Man universe! This season introduces exciting new cards and locations, along with a game-changing mechanic: Activate abilities.
Activate: A New Twist on Card Abilities
Activate abilities allow players to trigger a card's effect at any point during their turn, offering strategic flexibility and bypassing effects that target "On Reveal" abilities. The new season's Season Pass card perfectly showcases this new mechanic.
Season Pass: Symbiote Spider-Man
The Season Pass card, Symbiote Spider-Man (4-Cost, 6-Power), boasts an Activate ability that lets you absorb the lowest-cost card at a location and copy its effect. If the absorbed card has an On Reveal ability, it triggers again! This card promises exciting gameplay potential, particularly when combined with cards like Galactus.
New Cards: A Spider-Verse Lineup
This season also introduces several other powerful new cards:
- Silver Sable: (1-Cost, 1-Power) On Reveal: Steals 2 Power from the top card of your opponent's deck.
- Madame Web: (Ongoing) Allows you to move one card at her location to another location once per turn.
- Arana: (1-Cost, 1-Power) Activate: Moves the next card you play to the right and gives it +2 Power.
- Scarlet Spider (Ben Reilly): (4-Cost, 5-Power) Activate: Spawns an exact clone at another location.
New Locations: Iconic Spider-Man Settings
Two new locations add strategic depth to the gameplay:
- Brooklyn Bridge: You can't place cards here two turns in a row, demanding creative deck-building and strategic play.
- Otto's Lab: The next card played here pulls a card from your opponent's hand to the location, introducing an element of surprise and disruption.
This Spider-Man themed season introduces exciting new mechanics and cards that are sure to shake up the Marvel Snap meta. What are your thoughts on the new season? Share your strategies and card choices in the comments!
