Get ready for some spooky fun as Marvel Snap introduces its upcoming October season, “Bloodstone.” This new season brings four exciting new cards and two eerie locations to the game.
The highlight of the season is the highly anticipated Elsa Bloodstone card, which was previously leaked. Elsa Bloodstone’s unique ability adds a fun twist to the game. Her Ongoing ability grants +3 Power to any card played to fill a location.
Elsa Bloodstone works particularly well with low-cost cards and bounce decks. This also explains the recent nerf to Kitty Pryde, who could be played multiple times in a lane for massive power increases. Ben Brode from Second Dinner suggests pairing Elsa Bloodstone with Nightcrawler and Jeff the Baby Land Shark for effective combos.
In addition to Elsa Bloodstone, the Bloodstone season introduces variants for other creepy heroes like Ghost Rider and Blade. The season also brings several themed cards, including Man-Thing (which weakens 1, 2, or 3-Cost cards), Werewolf by Night, Black Knight, and Nico Minoru.
Werewolf by Night is a versatile card that can move to the location of a played On Reveal card and gain +2 Power. This makes it suitable for various deck archetypes, including destroy decks that take advantage of newly-opened spots.
Black Knight, when played, allows you to discard a card and add the Ebony Blade to your hand, inheriting the power of the discarded card. Combining this with Lady Sif, who can discard the highest-power card in your hand, will result in a powerful Ebony Blade.
Nico Minoru utilizes her witch powers to cast spells. Her ability, “On Reveal,” allows you to cast a spell after playing your next card. The spell changes each turn and can double the card’s power, add a copy to your hand, replace the card’s location, give it +2 Power, and more.
The Bloodstone season also introduces two new locations: Hotel Inferno and The Abbey. Hotel Inferno destroys the top card of your opponent’s deck after you play a card there, while The Abbey allows the first player to put exactly two cards there to draw a card.
Excitingly, the season also includes Midnight Suns card variants, which were previously data mined. Players who log in between Oct. 3 and Nov. 6 will receive the Dr. Strange Midnight Suns variant, along with a Midnight Suns shop takeover featuring over two dozen new cards.
Marvel Snap: Bloodstone begins on Monday, Oct. 2, at 10pm CT.
