Marvel Contest of Champions: A Deep Dive into Champion Cards
Marvel Contest of Champions extends beyond the mobile realm; it boasts an arcade version at Dave & Buster's, offering a unique take on the MCoC experience. This arcade cabinet allows two-player 3v3 battles, with victory decided by a best-of-three series. The real draw? Each match rewards both players with a Champion Card – a physical collectible featuring Marvel heroes and villains from the game.
These aren't just collectibles; they're also in-game assets. Players can scan these cards to select specific champions before a match, adding a strategic layer. With over 175 cards across two series (including standard and foil variants), the collecting possibilities are vast. This guide covers everything you need to know about MCoC Champion Cards.
What are 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 champions for arcade matches. Unscanned cards result in random champion selection.
Each card features a Marvel character and boasts a foil variant, mirroring other collectible arcade cards (like those from Mario Kart Arcade GP and Injustice Arcade). Series 1 included 75 champions; Series 2 added 100 more, including reskins of Series 1 characters.
A card is dispensed to each player after every match, regardless of the win/loss outcome. The cards are drawn from the existing two series. Foil variants are rarer and more valuable. Cards aren't mandatory for arcade play but enhance strategy and customization. While they don't transfer to the mobile game, they add a sought-after collectible dimension.
Champion Card Rarity and Collectibility
MCoC Champion Cards offer collectible value. While all cards function identically in-game, many players aim for complete sets, including the rare foil versions. Series 2 introduced new designs and reskins, leading to multiple versions of some characters.
The complete card roster includes:
- Series 1 (2019): 75 cards featuring classic MCoC characters.
- Series 2 (later release): 100 cards, including reskins and new additions.
- Foil variants: Rarer, more valuable versions of standard cards.
Collectors pursue complete sets, favorite characters, or solely foil cards. Their Dave & Buster's exclusivity adds to their appeal.
