The patch for the popular super hero themed card battler, tentatively pencilled in for Tuesday, January 31, is set to make several rare cards easier to find – and cheaper to buy.
Developer Second Dinner is planning Marvel Snap monthly updates – dubbed Series Drops – that will make it easier for players to obtain their favourite Marvel Comics characters to add to their deck. Every Series Drop will bump some Series 5 cards (the rarest ones) down to Series 4, and in turn, some Series 4 will drop down to Series 3 (the most common). Each drop down the rankings makes a card 10 times more likely to be unlocked in Collector’s Reserves, and cheaper to buy via the Token Shop (more on why this probably won't work later).
This Marvel Snap January update will see Series 5 cards Valkyrie, Super-Skrull, Bast, Shuri and Black Panther heading to Series 4. Meanwhile, Series 4 cards Luke Cage, Absorbing Man, She-Hulk and Titania are dropping down to Series 3. In a blog post about the update, the developer explained that a deciding factor in choosing which card to drop is how long they've been in that Series; the longer a card has say in Series 5, for example, the more likely it is to drop down the ranks.
