Season Cards
Sam Wilson Captain America

With a heart full of justice, Sam Wilson takes center stage as the new Captain America, wielding the iconic shield. This 2-Cost, 3-Power card places Captain America's Shield on your side of the field at the start of the game. The shield boosts any Captain America card at its location by +2 Power, and thanks to Sam's Ongoing ability, you can move the shield each turn. Could this benefit Captain Carter and future captains as well? Stay tuned to find out!
Joaquín Torres (Falcon)

The new Falcon, Joaquín Torres, is more than just a sidekick—he's grown real wings! This 3-Cost, 3-Power card's Ongoing effect doubles the On-Reveal abilities of 1-Cost cards played at his location. Think of him as a mini-Wong for 1-Cost cards. Pair him with Moonstone for powerful synergies!
Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross

Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross enters the fray as a 2-Cost, 2-Power card, sporting the game's most impressive mustache. His ability draws a card with ten or more Power every time your opponent doesn't spend all their energy. Is he too specialized to be Surtur's new ally? Only time will tell.
Redwing

Redwing, a 3-Cost, 3-Power card, has a unique ability that plays a card from your hand at the location he leaves the first time he moves. Though he doesn't move on his own, pairing him with high-impact cards and movers could lead to exciting strategies. Which deck will he dominate?
Diamondback

Diamondback, the second snake-themed character in Snap, is a 3-Cost, 3-Power card with an Ongoing effect that further reduces the Power of opposing cards by -2 if they already have negative Power at her location. For optimal synergy, pair her with a certain blue guy!
New Game Mode: Sanctum Showdown
Image: ensigame.com
Get ready for an enchanted conflict! Sanctum Showdown will debut on February 18 with a fresh take on the game. Unlike standard Snap, this mode eliminates cubes and the six-turn limit. Instead, the goal is to win locations and be the first player to score 16 points. One location turns into the Sanctum each turn, making it more valuable than the others. This mode promises intense gameplay and the chance to win incredible rewards, including up to four unowned Series 4 and 5 cards!
Exclusive Event Cards

Laufey
Laufey is a 4-Cost, 6-Power card that uses his On-Reveal ability to steal 1 Power from any card in his vicinity, including yours. His arrival might spark a Diamondback resurgence; will he shake up the meta?
Uncle Ben
Uncle Ben is a 1-Cost, 2-Power card that lets you relive Spider-Man's origin story. When he is destroyed, Spider-Man takes his place. Though it seems like a meme card, it's definitely worth trying out!
Gorgon
Gorgon, Arishem's most formidable foe, is a 2-Cost, 3-Power card with an ongoing effect that raises the cost of any cards in your opponent's hand that weren't initially in their deck by one. He's a powerful counter because this disrupts strategies like Shield Agents, Moongirl, and Thanos.
Mastery System
Image: ensigame.com
The Mastery system will finally launch on February 11th! Each card will have its own Mastery Track, offering exclusive rewards like character reaction sets, special flares, and a gold diamond flare at the end. This long-awaited feature adds an extra layer of customization and progression to the game.
New Locations

Smithsonian Museum: A perfect match for Sam Wilson Captain America and his shield.
Madripoor: A scaling location that rewards early dominance, but be cautious of overextending into Shang-Chi’s range.
