Marvel Snap's Amazing Spider-Season Swings into Action!
September brings a thrilling new season to Marvel Snap (Free), themed around the iconic Spider-Man universe! This season introduces a game-changing mechanic: Activate abilities. Unlike On Reveal, Activate abilities let you strategically trigger a card's effect at any point during your turn, offering tactical flexibility and countering certain On Reveal-negating effects.
The Season Pass card, Symbiote Spider-Man, perfectly embodies this new mechanic. This 4-cost, 6-power card boasts an Activate ability that lets you absorb the lowest-cost card at a location and copy its text, even re-triggering On Reveal effects! Prepare for some seriously game-altering combos, especially when paired with cards like Galactus.
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.
- Madame Web: An Ongoing ability card allowing you to move another card at her location once per turn.
- 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 potential game-changer 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.
Two new locations further enhance the strategic depth:
- Brooklyn Bridge: A location with the unique restriction that cards cannot be played there on consecutive turns.
- Otto's Lab: A location where your next played card pulls a card from your opponent's hand into play.
This Spider-Man-themed season introduces exciting new mechanics and cards, promising a fresh and challenging Marvel Snap experience.
