Whether you're aiming for victory or completing your collection, this guide will equip you with everything you need to know about MCoC Champion Cards.
What Are Champion Cards?
MCoC Champion Cards are physical trading cards dispensed by Marvel Contest of Champions arcade machines at Dave & Buster's. Each card represents a different character from the game and acts as your champion selection tool. Don't scan a card? The machine will randomly assign your champions.
Each card showcases a unique Marvel character from MCoC, and boasts a rarer foil variant. Series 1 introduced 75 champions, while Series 2 expanded the roster to a total of 100 cards.
Win or lose, you get a card! The machine dispenses a Champion Card to each player after every match. Series 1 features 75 unique champions, while Series 2 adds another 100, including some reskins of Series 1 characters and entirely new additions. Each card also has a coveted foil variant.
While not mandatory for arcade gameplay, Champion Cards add a strategic layer and collectible depth. Choose your champions instead of relying on random selection. Note: these cards don't transfer to the mobile version, but they enhance the arcade experience considerably.

Champion Card Rarity and Collectibility
Like any good trading card, MCoC Champion Cards have a strong collectible appeal. While all cards function identically in-game, the thrill of the hunt—completing the set, chasing foil variants, or acquiring your favorite Marvel characters—adds another dimension. Series 2 introduced new designs alongside many returning characters from Series 1, resulting in multiple versions of some cards.
The Complete Card Lineup:
- Series 1 (2019): 75 champion cards featuring classic MCoC characters.
- Series 2 (Later Release): 100 cards, including reskinned Series 1 cards and new characters.
- Foil Variants: Rarer, more valuable special versions of standard cards.
Whether your goal is a complete set, specific characters, or just the allure of foil cards, the exclusive nature of these cards (only available at Dave & Buster's) makes them highly sought after by Marvel fans.
