Season Cards

Sam Wilson takes up the shield as the new Captain America! This 2-Cost, 3-Power card places Captain America's Shield on your side of the field, granting +2 Power to any Captain America card at that location. Sam's Ongoing ability allows you to move the shield each turn. Will this benefit other Captain America cards in the future?

Joaquín Torres (Falcon)

Joaquín Torres, the new Falcon, boasts impressive wings! This 3-Cost, 3-Power card doubles the On-Reveal power of 1-Cost cards played at his location. Think of him as a mini-Wong for 1-Cost cards – perfect for synergistic combos!

Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross

Sporting an impressive mustache, Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross (2-Cost, 2-Power) draws a card with 10+ Power whenever your opponent doesn't spend all their energy. A potentially powerful, albeit niche, addition.

Redwing

Redwing (3-Cost, 3-Power) plays a card from your hand at his location the first time he moves. While he doesn't move on his own, his potential for strategic plays with high-impact cards and movement effects is significant.

Diamondback

Snap's second snake-themed character, Diamondback (3-Cost, 3-Power), reduces the Power of opposing cards at her location by -2 if they already have negative Power. Prepare for some potent combos!
