Types of cards in Marvel Snap

What types of cards are available?

Marvel Snap cards are based on Marvel heroes and characters. These cards typically feature various iconic superheroes, villains, and other characters from the Marvel Comics universe. The cards often feature illustrations, abilities, and characteristics of these characters, allowing players to interact with their favorite Marvel heroes and participate in gameplay.

Depending on the specific edition or version of the Marvel Snap game, players can find cards featuring characters such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Wolverine, Deadpool and many more.

The inclusion of Marvel characters adds depth, fun and thematic appeal to the gameplay, especially for fans of the Marvel comic book and cinematic universe.

Cards can be classified into four distinct types

  • No Ability: These cards lack specific abilities but often possess greater power compared to other cards of similar value.
  • When Revealed: The ability of this card triggers upon its revelation.
  • Continuous: This card’s ability persists indefinitely after being revealed.
  • Special Ability: The ability of this card activates when specific conditions are met, without the need for it to be played or revealed. For instance, Angel‘s ability automatically engages when one of your cards is destroyed, with Angel substituting for that card. Bishop, on the other hand, gains a boost for each card you play, and Bishop does not remain a permanent card.
