Marvel Snap's Amazing Spider-Season Swings into Action!
September brings a thrilling new season to Marvel Snap (Free), themed around the web-slinger himself – the Amazing Spider-Season! This season introduces exciting new cards and locations, along with a game-changing mechanic: Activate abilities.
Activate: Unlike "On Reveal," Activate abilities let you choose when to trigger a card's effect, offering strategic flexibility and avoiding counter-play targeting On Reveal.
The season's launch trailer provides a great overview:
New Cards:
-
Symbiote Spider-Man (Season Pass): A 4-cost, 6-power card with an Activate ability that absorbs the lowest-cost card at its location and copies its text, even triggering On Reveal effects again. A potentially game-breaking card!
-
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 strong addition to specific deck strategies.
-
Madame Web: An Ongoing card that lets you move another card at her location once per turn. Provides excellent tactical positioning.
-
Arana: A 1-cost, 1-power card with an Activate ability that moves the next card you play to the right and grants it +2 power. A key component for move-based decks.
-
Scarlet Spider (Ben Reilly): A 4-cost, 5-power card with an Activate ability that spawns an identical clone at another location. Amplify his power for devastating effects!
New Locations:
-
Brooklyn Bridge: A location with the unique restriction that you can't play cards there on consecutive turns. Requires creative deck building and strategic timing.
-
Otto's Lab: Plays a card from your opponent's hand to the location when you play a card there. Introduces an element of surprise and disruption.
This Spider-themed season introduces exciting new strategic possibilities with the Activate mechanic and powerful new cards.
