Swing Into ‘Marvel Snap’ With The Amazing Spider-Season

Marvel Snap's Amazing Spider-Season Swings into Action!

Marvel Snap Season Pass Art

September brings a thrilling new season to Marvel Snap (Free), themed around everyone's favorite web-slinger and his expansive rogues gallery! This season introduces a game-changing mechanic: Activate abilities. Unlike "On Reveal," Activate abilities let players choose when to trigger a card's effect, adding a strategic layer and countering effects that target On Reveal.

New Card Reveal

The Season Pass card, Symbiote Spider-Man, perfectly embodies this new mechanic. A 4-Cost, 6-Power powerhouse, his Activate ability lets you absorb the lowest-cost card at a location and copy its effect, even triggering On Reveal abilities again! Expect this card to be a major player (and potentially a target for future balance adjustments!). Check out the official season reveal video below:

Beyond the Season Pass, several other exciting cards join the fray:

  • Silver Sable: A 1-Cost, 1-Power card with an On Reveal ability that steals 2 Power from the top card of your opponent's deck. A sneaky addition to many decks.
  • Madame Web: An Ongoing card that lets you move one card at her location to another location once per turn. Expect to see some creative positioning with this one.
  • Arana: Another 1-Cost, 1-Power card with an Activate ability. Activating her moves the next card you play to the right and gives it +2 Power. A must-have for move-focused strategies.
  • Scarlet Spider (Ben Reilly): A 4-Cost, 5-Power card with an Activate ability that spawns an identical clone at another location. Double the trouble!

New Card - Arana

Two new locations also shake up the gameplay:

  • Brooklyn Bridge: A classic Spider-Man location with a twist – you can't place cards there two turns in a row, demanding strategic card placement.
  • Otto's Lab: This location mirrors Otto Octavius himself. The next card played here pulls a card from your opponent's hand into play, adding an element of surprise.
