Marvel Snap Spotlight Cache Schedule - Alioth

Second Dinner has revealed the Marvel Snap Spotlight Cache schedule for the month of September 2023. The schedule includes exciting new cards, such as Alioth, Ravonna Renslayer, and Mobius M. Mobius.

The Spotlight Cache is a game-changing feature set to revolutionize the acquisition of newly released cards, Series 4, and Series 5 cards alike in Marvel Snap. This feature comes alive once a player surpasses Collection Level (CL) 500, replacing Collector’s Caches and Collector’s Reserves every 120CL.

But what truly sets the Spotlight Cache apart is the guarantee it offers: a featured card or a random Series 4 or 5 card each time you open one of these special caches.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Marvel Snap Spotlight Cache schedule.

The Spotlight Cache schedule features three cards every week. Three of the cards included in the Spotlight Cache roster will be decided by Second Dinner and will be available to all players.

The schedule will change every month, and Second Dinner plans to reveal the upcoming roster of cards before the start of each season.

Here’s the Marvel Snap Spotlight Schedule for the “Loki: For All Time” season:

  • Week of September 5: Jeff, Ghost-Spider, Knull
  • Week of September 12: Alioth, Snowguard, Hit Monkey
  • Week of September 19: Ravonna Renslayer, Jean Grey, Zabu
  • Week of September 26: Mobius M. Mobius, High Evolutionary, Kang

Marvel Snap Spotlight Cache Variants

In the case that you have acquired this week’s Spotlight Cache cards already, you’ll have the opportunity to get a new variant of the same card instead.

These variants will be high-quality artwork (no pixels, thankfully) and won’t be available to acquire in any other way for at least six months.

This month’s variants are:

  • Week of September 12: Alioth (ADIA), Snowguard (Justyna Dura), Hit Monkey (Dan Hipp)

Spotlight Cache in Marvel Snap: How it Works

How Marvel Snap Spotlight Cache works

The Spotlight Cache, a fresh feature in Marvel Snap, is a new reward box that shows up on the CL track, packed with S4/S5 cards and their variants. Its unique draw is that it offers players more cards than ever, including exclusive, time-limited Spotlight Variants, making every draw a potentially exciting game-changer.

Introduced from CL 500 onwards, Spotlight Caches supersede Collector’s Caches and Collector’s Reserves every 120 CL. They contain a standalone reward pool of four items, starting as cards and morphing into variants if you already own the card. As you draw from the pool, it shrinks, so after four draws, you’re guaranteed to have each reward in a pool.

Each week, the reward pool resets, and it contains three specific S4/S5 cards chosen by the dev team and a random S4/S5 card.

Given that you’d need to accrue 40 Collector’s Reserves (or 480 CL) in a week to claim every reward from a single pool, saving up your Spotlight Caches for particularly appealing reward pools could be a savvy strategy. As a bonus, the devs will announce upcoming reward pools at the start of each season to help with your planning.
