Season Cards
Sam Wilson Captain America

With a heart full of justice, Sam Wilson steps into the spotlight as the new Captain America, wielding the iconic shield. This 2-Cost, 3-Power card places Captain America's Shield on your side of the field at the start of the game. The shield grants +2 Power to any Captain America card at its location, and thanks to Sam's Ongoing ability, you can move the shield each turn. Could this benefit Captain Carter and other future captains as well? Stay tuned to find out!
Joaquín Torres (Falcon)

Joaquín Torres, the new Falcon, is no mere imposter—he's sprouted real wings! This 3-Cost, 3-Power card's Ongoing effect doubles the On-Reveal abilities of 1-Cost cards played at his location. Think of him as a mini-Wong for 1-Cost cards. Pair him with Moonstone for some explosive synergies!
Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross

Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross enters as a 2-Cost, 2-Power card sporting the game's most impressive mustache. His ability draws a card with ten or more Power whenever your opponent doesn't spend all their energy. Is he too niche to be Surtur's new partner? Only time will tell.
Redwing

Redwing, a 3-Cost, 3-Power card, has a unique ability: the first time he moves, he plays a card from your hand at the location he leaves. While he doesn't move on his own, pairing him with high-impact cards and movers could lead to some thrilling strategies. Which deck will he dominate?
Diamondback

Diamondback, the second snake-themed character in Snap, is a 3-Cost, 3-Power card with an Ongoing effect that reduces the Power of opposing cards at her location by -2 if they already have negative Power. For optimal synergy, pair her with a certain blue guy!
New Game Mode: Sanctum Showdown
Image: ensigame.com
Get ready for an enchanted battle! Sanctum Showdown, debuting on February 18, offers a fresh take on the game. Unlike standard Snap, this mode removes cubes and the six-turn limit. Instead, the goal is to win locations and be the first player to score 16 points. One location becomes the Sanctum each turn, making it worth more points than the others. This mode promises intense gameplay and the chance to win incredible rewards, including up to four unowned Series 4 and 5 cards!
Exclusive Event Cards

Laufey
Laufey is a 4-Cost, 6-Power card that uses his On-Reveal ability to steal 1 Power from any card in his vicinity, including yours. His arrival might spark a Diamondback resurgence; will he shake up the meta?
Uncle Ben
Uncle Ben is a 1-Cost, 2-Power card that lets you relive Spider-Man's origin story. When destroyed, he is replaced by Spider-Man. Though it seems like a meme card, it's definitely worth a try!
Gorgon
Gorgon, Arishem's most formidable foe, is a 2-Cost, 3-Power card with an ongoing effect that increases the cost of any cards in your opponent's hand not originally in their deck by one. He's a powerful counter, disrupting strategies like Shield Agents, Moongirl, and Thanos.
Mastery System

The Mastery system will finally launch on February 11th! Each card will have its own Mastery Track, offering exclusive rewards like character reaction sets, special flares, and a gold diamond flare at the end. This long-awaited feature adds an extra layer of customization and progression to the game.
New Locations

- Smithsonian Museum: A perfect match for Sam Wilson Captain America and his shield.
- Madripoor: A scaling location that rewards early dominance, but be cautious of overextending into Shang-Chi’s range.
Conclusion
This season is bursting with excitement! From Sam Wilson’s debut as Captain America to the chaotic fun of Sanctum Showdown and the introduction of the Mastery system, there’s something for everyone. Redwing has me particularly thrilled—I can’t wait to figure out how to use him effectively. What about you? Which card are you most excited to try?
