Spider-Swinging Goodness Arrives in 'Marvel Snap' with Spider-Season

Marvel Snap's Amazing Spider-Season Swings into Action!

September brings a thrilling new season to Marvel Snap (Free), themed around everyone's favorite web-slinger and his expansive rogues gallery! This season introduces a game-changing mechanic: Activate abilities. Unlike "On Reveal," Activate abilities allow players to strategically trigger card effects at any point during their turn, adding a layer of tactical depth.

The Season Pass card, Symbiote Spider-Man, perfectly embodies this new mechanic. A 4-cost, 6-power powerhouse, his Activate ability lets him absorb the lowest-cost card at his location and copy its effects – even triggering On Reveal abilities again! Expect some seriously chaotic combos, especially when paired with cards like Galactus.

Let's dive into the other additions:

• 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. A sneaky addition to various deck strategies.

• Madame Web: This powerful Ongoing ability card lets you move one card at her location to another location once per turn. Expect to see her used to disrupt opponent strategies and control board positioning.

• Arana: Another 1-cost, 1-power card with an Activate ability. Activating Arana moves the next card you play to the right and boosts its power by +2. A must-have for move-focused decks.

• Scarlet Spider (Ben Reilly): A 4-cost, 5-power card with an Activate ability that spawns an identical clone at another location. Double the trouble, double the power!

The new season also introduces two exciting locations:

• Brooklyn Bridge: A classic Spider-Man location with a unique twist: you can't play cards there on consecutive turns. This will require players to adapt their strategies and timing.

• Otto's Lab: This location plays on Doctor Octopus's mischievous nature. The next card played here pulls a card from your opponent's hand into play, leading to unpredictable game scenarios.

This Spider-themed season is packed with exciting new cards and mechanics. The introduction of Activate abilities promises a fresh and strategic experience. Stay tuned for our upcoming September deck guide to help you conquer this web-slinging challenge! What are your thoughts on the new season?
