"Marvel Contest of Champions: Ultimate Card Guide"

Marvel Contest of Champions (MCoC) isn't just a thrilling mobile game; it also brings the action to the arcade at Dave & Buster's, offering a unique twist on the MCoC experience. This arcade version allows two players to engage in intense 3v3 battles, with the victor crowned after a best-of-three showdown. But what really sets this arcade experience apart is the reward at the end of each match: both players receive a Champion Card, a tangible collectible featuring a Marvel hero or villain from the game.

These Champion Cards are more than just collectibles; they're a gateway to enhancing your arcade gameplay. By scanning these cards into the machine, players can select specific champions before a match, adding a strategic layer to the battles. With over 175 cards released across two series, including standard and rare foil variants, there's plenty to collect and enjoy. Whether you're aiming to power up your arcade fights or complete your collection, here's your comprehensive guide to MCoC Champion Cards.

What Are Champion Cards?

Champion Cards are physical trading cards you can obtain from the Marvel Contest of Champions arcade machines at Dave & Buster's. Each card represents a unique character from the MCoC universe and can be used to handpick your champions for arcade battles. If you choose not to use any cards, the machine will randomly assign champions for you.

Each Champion Card showcases a specific Marvel character, with both standard and foil versions available. The first series launched with 75 different champions, while the second series expanded the collection to 100 cards, offering new designs and additional characters.

After every match, the arcade machine dispenses a Champion Card to each player, win or lose, ensuring everyone has a chance to collect their favorite characters. These cards are drawn from the two existing series, with Series 1 offering 75 champions and Series 2 expanding to 100. Foil variants are particularly coveted due to their rarity.

While Champion Cards aren't necessary for playing the arcade game, they introduce a layer of strategy and personalization. Instead of relying on random selections, players can strategically choose their champions using their cards. Although these cards don't transfer to the mobile version of MCoC, they enrich the arcade experience and appeal to collectors.

Champion Card Rarity and Collectibility

Much like traditional trading cards, MCoC Champion Cards have a strong collectible appeal. Although all cards function similarly in the arcade game, the hunt for a complete set, especially the rare foil versions, adds excitement for collectors. The second series introduced new designs alongside characters from the first series, resulting in multiple styles for some cards.

The total list of available cards includes:

• Series 1 (2019): 75 champion cards featuring classic MCoC characters.
• Series 2 (later release): 100 cards, with reskinned versions of Series 1 and additional characters.
• Foil variants: Special versions of standard cards that are rarer and more valuable.

Collectors may aim to complete the entire set, seek out their favorite Marvel characters, or focus on acquiring the coveted foil cards. Since the only way to obtain these cards is by playing at Dave & Buster's, they represent an exclusive collectible for Marvel enthusiasts.

For those who prefer digital champion management, consider playing the main MCoC game on PC with BlueStacks, where you can train, upgrade, and battle with your favorite characters without needing an arcade visit!
