These aren't just pretty cards; they're your keys to strategic gameplay. Scan them into the arcade machine to choose your champions before a match. With over 175 cards across two series—including standard and foil variants—the possibilities are endless. Whether you're aiming for victory or a complete collection, this guide will equip you with everything you need to know about MCoC Champion Cards.
What Are Champion Cards?
Champion Cards are physical trading cards dispensed by the Marvel Contest of Champions arcade machines at Dave & Buster's. Each card represents a different character from the game and acts as your champion selector. Don't scan a card? The machine will randomly choose for you.
Each card showcases a Marvel character from MCoC, and each has a rarer foil variant, similar to other collectible arcade cards (think Mario Kart Arcade GP and Injustice Arcade). Series 1 launched with 75 champions; Series 2 added another 100, expanding the roster significantly.
Win or lose, you'll get a card after every match. The outcome doesn't affect your card, giving everyone an equal chance at any character. Cards come from either Series 1 (75 champions) or Series 2 (100 champions, including some reskins from Series 1 and new additions), each with its own foil variant.
While not mandatory for arcade play, Champion Cards add a strategic layer and collectible fun. Instead of random champions, you choose your favorites. Note: these cards don't transfer to the mobile MCoC game, but they enhance the arcade experience. Looking to improve your mobile game? Check out our Marvel Contest of Champions beginner's guide!
Champion Card Rarity and Collectibility
Like traditional trading cards, MCoC Champion Cards offer a collectible experience. While all cards function identically in-game, the hunt for a complete set, including those coveted foil versions, is a rewarding pursuit. Series 2 introduced new designs and reskins, leading to multiple versions of some characters.
The Complete Card Lineup:
- 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.
Whether you aim for a complete set, your favorite Marvel characters, or just the thrill of foil cards, the chase is on! And because they're exclusive to Dave & Buster's, they're a unique collectible for Marvel fans.
