Marvel Snap's Sanctum Showdown: A New Limited-Time Mode

Get ready for a spellbinding showdown! Marvel Snap has launched a new limited-time mode, Sanctum Showdown, offering a unique competitive experience. This mode runs until March 11th.

New Rules, New Rewards:

  • First to 16 Points Wins: Forget the usual six-turn structure. Victory goes to the first player to reach 16 points.
  • The Sanctum Location: This crucial location awards the most points each turn, making it a key strategic element.
  • Dynamic Snapping: Starting on turn three, you can snap once per turn to boost the Sanctum's point value, creating constant shifts in momentum.
  • Scroll-Based Entry: Each match costs one Scroll, but winning earns you another. You begin with 12 Scrolls, replenishing by two every eight hours. Additional Scrolls can be purchased for 40 Gold.
  • Sorcerer Rank and Charms: Every match, win or lose, increases your Sorcerer Rank and earns you Charms. These Charms can be spent in the Sanctum Shop for cosmetic items or new cards.

Strategic Considerations:

To maintain fairness, certain cards and locations are banned in Sanctum Showdown. Abilities affecting final scores are disabled, and cards like Debrii are removed to prevent overpowered strategies. Think twice before relying on Captain Marvel or Dracula – they won't be effective here!

Exclusive Card Acquisition:

This mode presents a unique opportunity to acquire cards like Laufey, Gorgon, and Uncle Ben before their March 13th Token Shop release. Participate in Portal Pulls for a chance to unlock these cards and potentially up to four Series 4 or 5 cards for free.

Don't Miss Out!

Sanctum Showdown is a limited-time event ending March 11th. Head to the official Marvel Snap website for further details and prepare for an exciting, strategic challenge! Use our Marvel Snap tier list to build the optimal deck!
