Sam Wilson embodies justice as the new Captain America. This 2-Cost, 3-Power card places Captain America's Shield on your side, granting +2 Power to any Captain America card at that location. Sam's Ongoing ability allows you to reposition the shield each turn. Will this benefit future Captain America cards? Only time will tell!

Joaquín Torres (Falcon)

Joaquín Torres, the new Falcon, boasts impressive aerial capabilities! This 3-Cost, 3-Power card doubles the On-Reveal power of 1-Cost cards played at his location – a miniature Wong for 1-Cost cards. Prepare for powerful synergies, especially with Moonstone!

Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross

This 2-Cost, 2-Power card, Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross, features an impressive mustache. His ability draws a card with 10+ Power whenever your opponent doesn't spend all their energy. Could he be Surtur's new partner?

Redwing

Redwing, a 3-Cost, 3-Power card, plays a card from your hand from his location upon his first movement. While he doesn't move independently, combining him with high-impact cards and movement effects promises exciting strategic possibilities.

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. Pair her with the right blue card for maximum impact!

New Game Mode: Sanctum Showdown

Each turn, one location becomes the Sanctum, offering more points. Expect intense gameplay and rewards including up to four unowned Series 4 and 5 cards!
