Marvel Snap’s biggest update yet is now in focus. Collector’s Tokens, the Token Shop, and 16 new cards across Pool 4 and Pool 5 are just the tip of the iceberg. Here’s the full rundown on the latest patch notes.

Just six weeks removed from Marvel Snap’s full release and undeniably the biggest content drop yet has arrived. After months of demand from the community, a method of manually unlocking specific cards is now in effect thanks to Collector’s Tokens.

Not only that, but a whopping 16 cards have been added to the mix all at once, as both Pool 4 and Pool 5 cards are now available in Marvel Snap.

So before you jump into the latest update and grab the cards you want, be sure to brush up with the full patch notes below.

Collector’s Tokens arrive in Marvel Snap

After months of anticipation, Collector’s Tokens finally arrived as part of the November 29 Marvel Snap update. This new currency allows players to directly purchase specific cards from the Token Shop, rather than having to rely on luck through the Collection Level reward track.

Collector’s Tokens can be unlocked through Collector’s Caches and Collector’s Reserves in the Collection Level reward track. More on that here with our full guide.

Patch Highlights

  • NEW FEATURE: Collector’s Tokens are here! You can earn them starting at Collection Level 500, then use them in the Token Shop to target new cards or the card you’ve been waiting for most.
  • NEW CARDS: A bunch of new cards have been added to the game! We’ve introduced two brand new series: Series 4 including 10 cards; and Series 5 including 6 new cards. The new cards have a chance to drop from Collector’s Caches, Collector’s Reserves, and can also be found in the Token Shop.

General Updates

  • Card Boosters no longer appear as rewards from Collector’s Caches and Collector’s Reserves. (They have been replaced by Collector’s Tokens!)
  • Improved bad luck protection for Collector’s Caches and Collector’s Reserves. Going forward, players at the same Collection Level will have nearly the same number of cards.
  • When you “Favorite” a Card Variant (by pressing the Star button above the card), you now have the option to automatically swap that variant into all decks that contain that card.
  • During a game, players can now tap their opponent’s avatar or their own avatar to view player titles in the pop-up avatar menu.
  • The End Turn button is disabled for a few seconds when your opponent Snaps – this should make it harder to accidentally accept a Snap.
  • Performance improvements for app launch/loading times.
  • Added support for “Sign in with Apple” on PC.

Art & Visual Effects

  • Infinity Border visuals have been improved. Cards upgraded to Infinity look WAY COOLER!
  • Flare modifiers earned from Infinity Split now have a chance to roll one of seven different colors: red, green, blue, purple, black, white, and gold. Flare modifiers unlocked before this update will now rotate through multiple colors.
  • Card Emojis have received a bit of polish to make them a little easier to use and see.
  • Logos have been added to Cards & Location Power Modifiers in-game. (Tap on a card or location to see what’s modifying it!)

Audio

  • New Card Sounds for:
    • Magik
  • New Location Sounds for:
    • Ego
    • Central Park
    • Project Pegasus
    • The Raft 
    • Death’s Domain

Balance Updates

  • Angela [2/1] -> [2/0]

Developer Comment: Angela is a card that sees a lot of prevalence across many decks, so we’re nerfing her a bit to make other options more appealing.

  • Destroyer [6/16] -> [6/15]

Developer Comment: Destroyer is making big waves. Lowering his power by 1 will give opponents more of a chance to win the Location he’s played to.

  • Mysterio [2/5] -> [2/4]

Developer Comment: Mysterio has more Power than other 2-Cost cards because of how many “slots” he takes up at other  Locations. However, in many cases, those extra 2/0 Illusions end up being quite beneficial, so we’re lowering his base Power by 1.

  • Sera [5/5] -> [5/4]

Developer Comment: Sera is slightly too good right now, so we’re shaving a bit of Power off.

  • Onslaught’s ability now stacks additively with effects like Mystique or Onslaught’s Citadel rather than exponentially. 

Developer Comment: When you start stacking Onslaught’s doubling effect, things get out of hand very quickly! We want to avoid situations where players are waiting for cards like Ironheart to play their animations for long stretches of time, so we’re changing the stacking to be additive instead of exponential.

  • Nick Fury has been added to Series 3.
