Marvel Snap has been around since 2022, but it remains one of the more popular mobile TCGs out there. That’s partly due to the allure of a collectible Marvel TCG, but also because the game continues to get regular updates. Yesterday, Marvel Snap got a massive update that adds an exciting new feature to streamline how players get new cards and build their collections. The Token Shop feature is being retired and replaced with new Snap Packs, which will change up how Marvel Snap players go about getting new cards. Now, Marvel Snap joins other popular TCG mobile games in letting players rip open packs to try their luck.

In the most recent update on April 29th, Marvel Snap debuted new Snap Packs and a brand-new Card Shop. Each Snap Pack contains a varying number of cards, with a guarantee of getting at least one unowned card, along with two bonus rewards. These extra rewards might be additional cards, variants, cosmetics, or occasional in-game currency. There will be a total of five different types of Snap Packs, which each have a different Token price and features.

Along with the new Snap Packs, the updated Card Shop will still feature Spotlight & Rotating Pinnable cards that players can continue to purchase via Tokens.

Along with changes to how you can buy Tokens, the entire Token economy has been adjusted alongside this new way to get cards. Spotlight Caches will be retired, with existing Spotlight Keys converted into 3,000 Tokens per Key. Tokens will fully replace Spotlight Keys going forward.

So far, many Marvel Snap players are enjoying the new Snap Packs overall. The ability to open packs replicates one of the most satisfying parts of collecting cards IRL, and gamers are already flocking to the r/MarvelSnap subreddit to share their pulls.
