Marvel Contest of Champions: A Deep Dive into Champion Cards

Marvel Contest of Champions transcends the mobile gaming realm; it boasts an arcade version at Dave & Buster's, offering a unique competitive experience. This arcade cabinet allows two-player 3v3 battles, with victory decided by a best-of-three format. The real draw, however, is the post-match reward: a Champion Card, a physical collectible featuring a Marvel hero or villain from the game.

These cards aren't just for show; they're scannable in-game, allowing players to select specific champions before a match. With two series released, there are over 175 cards, including standard and foil variants. Whether you're a strategic player or a dedicated collector, this guide covers everything you need to know about MCoC Champion Cards.

Understanding Champion Cards

Champion Cards are physical trading cards dispensed by Marvel Contest of Champions arcade machines at Dave & Buster's. Each card represents a game character and can be used to select your champion in the arcade game. Unscanned cards result in randomly assigned champions.

Each card features a Marvel character from MCoC and has a rarer foil variant, echoing collectible arcade cards from games like Mario Kart Arcade GP and Injustice Arcade. Series 1 featured 75 champions, while Series 2 added another 100, including some reskins of Series 1 characters.

A card is dispensed to each player after every match, regardless of the outcome. The card received is random, ensuring fair distribution. Cards are drawn from either of the two existing series, each with unique champions and foil variants.

While not mandatory for arcade gameplay, Champion Cards add strategic depth and personalization. Instead of random assignments, players can strategically select their champions using their collected cards. Note that these cards don't transfer to the mobile MCoC game, but they enhance the arcade experience with a collectible element. For mobile MCoC tips, check out our beginner's guide!

Champion Card Rarity and Collection

Like traditional trading cards, MCoC Champion Cards offer collectible value. While all cards function identically in-game, collecting the full set, including rare foil versions, is a popular pursuit. Series 2 introduced new designs and reskins, resulting in some champions appearing in multiple card styles.

Card Breakdown:

• Series 1 (2019): 75 cards featuring classic MCoC characters.
• Series 2 (Later Release): 100 cards, including reskins and new characters.
• Foil Variants: Rarer, more valuable versions of standard cards.

Collectors aim to complete the set, acquire favorite characters, or focus on foil cards. Their Dave & Buster's exclusivity adds to their appeal for Marvel enthusiasts. For digital roster building, play MCoC on PC with BlueStacks for enhanced control and gameplay!
