It’s that time again! Marvel Snap (Free) is bidding a farewell to Deadpool and his wacky pals, closing up the Diner, and getting on with the next season. After all that chaos, it’s time for something a little more organized. And there’s nothing more organized than a team, especially when we’re talking about the Avengers! What? Oh, it’s the Young Avengers. Well, I’m sure they’re reasonably organized. More than Deadpool, anyway. Let’s have a look at the details!
As usual, there’s a video you can watch that will outline everything, and it’s quite entertaining. If you aren’t able to or don’t want to, allow me to break down the new season for you. Let’s start with the Season Pass character, Kate Bishop. She’s 2-Cost 3-Power, and when you play her she has an On Reveal ability that will add two random arrows from a selection of four to your hand, each with its own ability. I can imagine a lot of decks where she’ll fit, and certainly The Collector will have a new friend.
Okay, now to the new cards that are available in the Token Store and Caches over the course of the season. First up is Marvel Boy, a 3-Cost 2-Power card with an ability that gives three of your 1-Cost cards +1 Power at the end of each turn. Phew, that could be strong in some decks. Wiccan is 4-Cost 7-Power and has an On Reveal ability that gives you +2 Max Energy… if and only if you’ve spent all of your Energy each turn of the game thus far.
Can’t have Billy without Tommy, can we? Speed is 3-Cost 3-Power and has an Ongoing ability that gives him +1 Power for every turn in which you spent all your Energy. Double incentive to use that juice! And while we’re looking at family, how about Billy’s hubby Teddy? Emperor Hulkling is 6-Cost 11-Power, and at the start of the game he’ll copy a random 6-Cost card’s text. Mm, that’s fun.
We’ve also got two new locations to enjoy. The Destroyed Mansion adds a Rock at the location and a Vibranium to your hand. Next is the Clubhouse, which when filled will give your cards at other locations +1 Power. Pile ’em on in! It’s getting more and more important to keep some kind of means of clean-up in your deck if you can spare it.
That’s it for the important points of the Young Avengers season. We’ll have our deck-building guide ready for you in a day or two as we see how Kate and Marvel Boy mesh with the meta, but I don’t see them hassling Arishem decks much. What do you think of this new season? See any cards you’re going to add to your decks? Let us know in the comments!
