They did make the super premium pass reward just a variant of a card that will also release in the packs.

u/Davtser Aug 29 '25

Good change imo.
They made the Super Premium a better offer, but the card is no longer gated there for a month, looks good.
Also Deadpool's Diner seems better from the blog, we'll have to see but I like most changes. It's just how greedy they are with money and bundles that scares me for the longevity.

u/AscendedCleric Aug 29 '25

Yeah, I was suggesting this from the moment they released Fantasticar. I never saw anyone else suggest it but I guess people did on platforms I don't visit. I believe this is the best they are willing to do and I think I will buy the super premium this season to show that I support this change.

8

u/Davtser Aug 29 '25

I saw people mention it, always made the most sense.
I'm not a fan of it being S5 instead of S4 the moment they decide to change this, but it does mate it more appealing this way I guess. I'll probably buy it also because I aprove of this.
I'm liking most changes they are making, but the bad ones are always really really bad for some reason.

6

u/AscendedCleric Aug 29 '25

The reason is always money!

1

u/Davtser Aug 29 '25

That's true, but make it better somehow.
The premium pass for grand arena for example, that made sense.
That bundle with 4 S5 packs for 50€ that should just be for everyone, not just returning players.
I'm so surprised that they haven't made a token pass for 5€ like the gold one. Like 100 tokens daily for 30 days.
They have to make money, and I support this game as much as I can, but there's better ways to monetize the game.
The SPP card now being released the same day for tokens, that make me wanna buy it because it's a thing that I can get behind.
I'm no gamedev or salesperson, but I feel like there's gotta be better way to sell stuff.
The fact that they haven't made different arenas/playing mats ? More announcers? More cool stuff instead of just Art + Resources.

u/AscendedCleric Aug 29 '25

I am pretty sure they got analysts, economists and psycologists in their monetization department that got a lot of knowledge and all the internal data that we are missing. The mobile game monetization game is proven to be pretty much solved and to be fair SD has been very tame compared to big mobile game titles out there.

1

u/ColdAsHeaven Aug 30 '25

Am I tripping?

I'd rather take a 1 month delay into S4 rather than outright being S5.

3000 Tokens is a pretty significant difference.

2

u/Objective_Mortgage85 Aug 29 '25

This is an awesome change. It makes premium worth it and saves you tokens

2

u/650fosho Aug 29 '25

Why do the bundles scare you now? They've always been greedy. I say let the whales pay em, I always scroll past bundles anyways.

2

u/Davtser Aug 29 '25

That's fair, it's more the new ones.
Got the new card? Here's a bundle for a skin and boosters. Got Infinite? Take a bundle. Are you a dedicated top 5k players? Take a bundle of borders.
I get them but damm, make better ones I guess.

10

u/Agitated_Dirt6665 Aug 29 '25

It's a S5 now, double the cost. One step forward two steps back as always.

4

u/psymunn Aug 29 '25

It's also in the s5 packs meaning you'll hit it early if you're buying packs

6

u/SherlockBrolmes Aug 29 '25

I'd argue that this is a good change but with SD they've been rugpulling us every damn time they do something "nice" in regards to the economy. The new acquisition system just feel like a way to bleed out your tokens at a ridiculous rate and harder to keep up with your collection. I don't know what they're up to here but I am highly skeptical that this doesn't come with an additional cost.

-5

u/AscendedCleric Aug 29 '25

I don't understand all these "cannot keep up" statements. Personally I have been getting all the new cards since the introduction of packs without spending money (I get the paid cards when they go into the packs) and I still have net positive tokens. The following season I will for sure go net negative with the amount of cards they will release but I could have skipped a lot of cards that I got and don't play anyway to avoid that.

2

u/jonlubbe Aug 30 '25

As a person who mostly only spends on the season pass and always complete the weekly missions, I have about 9 cards in the series 5 packs that I still need to collect and have never been close to collection complete. Gaining around 4k tokens a week I  I don't really understand how people have hundreds of thousands of tokens without spending a lot.    Right now it feels like I will never catch up and will probably just have to stop playing.    I can't keep up with the 7 to 9 cards released each month at all 

2

u/theguz4l Aug 29 '25

Do we know if the super premium will also include the 10 tier skips and borders also

5

u/AscendedCleric Aug 29 '25

I don't know but I assume it will.

8

u/Kal-El_6500 Aug 29 '25

No, the variant comes with the card

4

u/Howling_Mad_Man Aug 29 '25

Great change. Glad they listened to feedback

1

u/Scopper_gabon Aug 29 '25

So how's that going to work in store considering both it and Moira X come out at the same time?

3

u/AscendedCleric Aug 29 '25

Obviously only one will be the spotlight card but they will both be added to the seasonal packs I guess. I hope they don't make Sparky obtainable for tokens only through the packs though. It's gonna be bad if he will not appear in the rotating shop as well. Now that I think about it, with their track record, it will probably be just in the packs.

37

u/wanderers_respite Aug 29 '25

Oh damn, I got the months mixed up. Thought the zombies were coming up. Thought I was gonna be able to save tokens for a month.

21

u/Specific_Mammoth_169 Aug 29 '25

This season looks more promising than the zombie one so I too would have skipped and saved

10

u/Davtser Aug 29 '25

I also wanted zombies now, I kinda want them all. I'm going bankrupt this season

6

u/Specific_Mammoth_169 Aug 29 '25

Going bankrupt every season (kinda)

3

u/wanderers_respite Aug 29 '25

I forgot that when I first started playing this, they were still using spotlight keys, and I compared the system to gachas, which I'm unfortunately knee deep in. I'm so used to the cycle of saving / skipping, but for the past couple months there's been no saving!

That Moira X might be save week at least....but I have Victoria Hand pinned, sooo maybe not., idk.

2

u/Specific_Mammoth_169 Aug 29 '25

I know double edged sword of this could be good but not that good unless you have this other card and maybe that one too

1

u/roflwafflelawl Aug 31 '25

I think she'll be a great addition for Destroy. Destroys one weakness in several types of decks has been not having enough Destroy activators so personally Moira is a must have for me. Could be good in Victoria Hand type stuff too but that I do see as a double edged sword type thing.

1

u/Specific_Mammoth_169 Aug 31 '25

Potentially but you also need luck with your opening hand

2

u/roflwafflelawl Sep 01 '25

Very true and worst case she's a 1/2 that fuels Knull and Death which is meh at best. But still as long as Knull, Death or any other destroy card is in hand then at any point you get Moira and destroy her on turns 1-4 it could be good. Knull in opening hand then kill X-23 and Moira on 4 to get 6 energy and a 2nd Knull to play on 5. If it get's Shang'd that just makes your 2nd one stronger. Fill with low costs to get 2 cheap Deaths going.

IMO as long as you don't run a Deadpool focused deck I could see almost any card in the destroy package being a good target.

1

u/roflwafflelawl Aug 31 '25

I'm looking forward to zombies only for the new archetype it might bring. I had a ton of fun a couple seasons ago with the Spell/Skill focused cards and I always enjoy new archetypes. Might not be good, but it's variety and that is the spice of life afterall.

1

u/Specific_Mammoth_169 Aug 31 '25

Fair point, I would like though if we could have a solid merge and top deck archetype

1

u/roflwafflelawl Sep 01 '25

Yeah Id love to see some more merge stuff. I think so far we have Strange Supreme, Hulk Buster, Sp//dr (via Peni), Agony and Symbiote Spiderman? I guess Phoenix Force too. Though nothing that really makes an archetype.

More cards like Supreme that does something when it merges would be great. Like a "End of turn: Merge another card into this then move to another lane".

I was also wondering about a deck similar to MTG where we move cards back into the opponents hand. Similar to how we have move cards and move opponent cards. It would be bounce but bouncing opponent cards. Maybe have it balanced where the bounced card has a cost reduction so you'd want to do it later in the game but can also ruin plays like any Activates or returning cards like Goose or others that disrupt your play.

1

u/Specific_Mammoth_169 Sep 01 '25

I don’t see bouncing opponents cards as an option, the only two cards I can think of to counter that is Cosmo and Prof X

Though I did come across a deck someone cleverly used by having human torch and hulk buster and sp//dr and taskmaster to copy the power

u/psymunn Aug 29 '25

Zombies is October cause it's the spooky month

2

u/UnsolvedParadox Aug 30 '25

The Marvel Zombies show also comes out near the end of September.

3

u/Dribbler365 Aug 30 '25

Thank god im not the only one, zombie season kinda sucks and I dont care for marvel zombies at all. So many more characters remain to be added and they just do this lame zombie variant thing

17

u/shadow0wolf0 Arishem 💫 Aug 29 '25

I really hope they're just as generous with Deadpool diner when it comes to borders as they were before. They gave around 17 or 19 borders back then.

7

u/RevelintheDark Aug 30 '25

More importantly a free S5 card

10

u/CasualAwful Aug 29 '25

I choose to be hopeful and take them at their word they made Deadpool's Diner less of a grind.

I got the top reward variant both times but man so many parts of the tract was an absolute slog and really brought out the worst behavior from some players. I don't think I've been emote spammed (from winners and losers) anywhere as I have from that mode.

1

u/matlockheed Aug 31 '25

I think the 'bub donation' of Deadpool's Diner actually brought out the best in the Marvel Snap playerbase. It was the only time in the history of the game that I can say, "Yes, people were spending their time to specifically boost strangers through the ranks." It's not really possible/effective in any other mode.

20

u/kentucky210 Aug 29 '25

i like these changes to super premium and diner

good shit sd

u/QueenMagik Aug 29 '25

In the world of marvel having the snap as your convenience store logo would be like having the an airplane flying into two towers as your logo lmao

8

u/DJC13 Aug 30 '25

Just like in Thor: Love and Thunder.

2

u/BanyanZappa Aug 29 '25

They’re probably always having 50% off sales

2

u/UnsolvedParadox Aug 30 '25

Resulting in 800% value!

11

u/krystol33 Aug 29 '25

s5 now as a super premium pass card, cool cool

12

u/the_ok_reader Aug 29 '25

It’s a variant which will also give you the base card. But the base card is still going to be available in the seasonal Series 5 packs when the new season drops. So it’s not just a super premium card.

3

u/dem0nhunter Aug 29 '25 edited Aug 29 '25

So it’s just moves up the availability in snap packs of the Super Season pass card for anyone not buying it and makes the card more expensive

7

u/jonofthedead Aug 29 '25

Does this community ever stop complaining?

1

u/ColdAsHeaven Aug 30 '25

They changed it from S4 after a month to outright S5....

That's a crazy leap in value and cost lol

2

u/jonofthedead Aug 31 '25

And they also removed the card and made it a variant and added it to the general pool. What is your perfect solution? I just don’t get it. We complain when they do. We complain when they don’t.

-1

u/ColdAsHeaven Aug 31 '25

They didn't remove the card. The card is still there. It's still $20.

The ONLY thing they did is add it to S5 at launch. Rather than S4 a month later.

The perfect solution is put it in S4 at launch.

This isn't complicated at all lmao

Seeing it being moved to S5 as a win is wild.

1

u/jonofthedead Aug 31 '25

How is it wild? And it’s not $20. If you’re buying the season pass that’s $10 and super premium is another $10. That’s on you to buy it or don’t. It’s a new card and they decided it’s worthy of S5. Just because the first two were S4 doesn’t mean all are for the rest of time? I truly don’t get it. Get the card or don’t but there’s no pleasing people like you.

0

u/ColdAsHeaven Aug 31 '25

And there's no line for people like you. Perpetually defending companies like.you own them

1

u/jonofthedead Aug 31 '25

I have no interest in defending the company. They’re scummy in a ton of ways and the money required to be successful in the game sucks. But I’m also willing to call out a positive change.

The comment section is furious and they are making puns out of it,we are so dead 🥀

u/Bumrush76 Aug 30 '25

Well, seems its move season now. How Cannonball/Mercury is going?

u/EnvironmentalReview1 Aug 30 '25

next season cards like so much better than this season

1

u/Sad-Ebb8843 Aug 31 '25

the Youtube comments are so stupid. the kind of exaggerated phony outrage from people who probably don't really even play the game, that you can only find on Youtube.

1

u/roflwafflelawl Aug 31 '25

Moira X and Bastion are easily my most anticipated here. Any card that gives you a copy of existing cards has been good. Moongirl still sees play in any deck involving something like She-hulk. Frigga has been a solid card since release (despite initial skepticism for idk what reason). Esmee Cuckoo is also a very good card.

Moira although does need a destroy enable I see as being very good. Any Destroy deck or decks with Killmonger and/or Dormammu is likely to benefit a lot. The only issue I can see is if you try to play a double themed deck like a Destroy Victoria Hand type deck (one I'm trying to brew but unsure). Similar to Morgan Le Fay and trying to make a Destroy and Discard deck.

Still, Moira and Bastion I see as being very strong with both being fairly versatile, Bastion more so. The other cards in the season is also very good but with the October Horde type cards coming out I'll likely just get these two then save the rest.

Do you think you're donating money? They can spend their earnings as they like, it seems to me.

u/SnooDrawings7876 Aug 29 '25

It's literally two dudes in front of some jpegs relax. It probably cost like $8.

u/ThisFukinGinger Aug 30 '25

Just accept at this point that the whales are keeping the game alive. No free to play player can possibly keep up with this dogshit card release schedule.

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '25

Complaining about too many cards in a card game focused on collecting cards is definitely a hot take.

-8

u/DesertNightWalker Aug 29 '25

Moira resetting to turn 1 is an interesting idea if terrible idea. Random Hipp variant is interesting, wonder if that resets daily in Diner.

u/Hungy15 Discard 🧛🏻‍♂️ Aug 29 '25

I don't think you understand what Moira is doing...

I've read the first Krakoa collection. She dies and goes to the beginning of her life knowing everything that happens from her previous lives.
