Marvel Contest of Champions: A Deep Dive into Champion Cards

Marvel Contest of Champions (MCoC) transcends the mobile gaming realm; it boasts an arcade version at Dave & Buster's, adding a unique dimension to the MCoC experience. This arcade cabinet lets two players engage in thrilling 3v3 battles, with victory decided by a best-of-three showdown. The real draw, however, lies in the post-match reward: a Champion Card, a physical collectible showcasing a Marvel hero or villain from the game.

These aren't just collectibles; players can scan these cards into the arcade machine to strategically select champions before a match. With two series already released, the collection boasts over 175 cards, including standard and foil variations. Whether your aim is to bolster your in-game power or complete your collection, this guide provides comprehensive information on MCoC Champion Cards.

Understanding Champion Cards

Champion Cards are tangible trading cards dispensed by MCoC arcade machines at Dave & Buster's. Each card represents a game character and serves as a champion selection tool in the arcade version. Without a scanned card, the machine randomly assigns champions.

Each card features a unique MCoC Marvel character and offers a foil variant, mirroring collectible arcade cards from titles like Mario Kart Arcade GP and Injustice Arcade. Series 1 introduced 75 champions, while Series 2 expanded the roster to 100.

Regardless of the match outcome, both players receive a Champion Card. The card awarded is random, ensuring fair distribution. Cards hail from two existing series: Series 1 (75 champions) and Series 2 (100 champions, including reskins and new additions). Each card also has a rarer foil variant.

While not mandatory for arcade gameplay, Champion Cards add strategic depth and personalization. Players can bypass random champion assignments by scanning their preferred cards. Note that these cards don't transfer to the mobile MCoC game, but they enhance the arcade experience with a collectible element. For mobile MCoC improvement strategies, consult our beginner's guide!

Rarity and Collectibility

Like traditional trading cards, MCoC Champion Cards hold collectible value. Despite identical in-game functionality, the pursuit of complete sets, including rare foil versions, drives many collectors. Series 2 introduced new designs alongside reskins from Series 1, resulting in multiple card versions of some characters.

The complete card list includes:

• Series 1 (2019): 75 classic MCoC characters.
• Series 2 (later release): 100 cards, featuring reskins and new characters.
• Foil variants: Rarer, more valuable versions of standard cards.

Collecting goals vary—some aim for complete sets, others seek favorite Marvel characters, and some focus on foil cards. Their Dave & Buster's exclusivity adds to their appeal for Marvel enthusiasts.
