Marvel Snap 'A Blink in Time' Season Launches With 5 New Cards

The latest season of Marvel Snap, A Blink in Time, is now available on PC and mobile devices. This content drop introduces five new Marvel Snap cards and two extra locations, among other novelties.

Marvel Snap launched in beta in October 2022 before receiving a full-fledged release come August 2023. Developer Second Dinner has been treating it to seasonal content on a monthly basis ever since. New Marvel Snap seasons commonly start on the first Monday of each month.

This potentially makes it super useful for performing wild tempo swings that can decide a match.

Another one of Marvel's superheroes starring in A Blink in Time is Nocturne.

While fully embracing its randomness will inevitably yield mixed results, its effect may find use in Marvel Snap move decks that are all about taking advantage of the game's multi-location format. A Blink in Time also introduces another 3-Cost card in the form of Sage, which comes with 0 Power but gains two additional Power points for each different Power among the surrounding cards, thus offering some decent versatility.

Decks revolving around buffing low-cost cards instead of packing heavy-hitters may benefit from Namora, another new character introduced in Marvel Snap's May 2024 season. This 5-Cost, 5-Power superhero gives +5 Power to all of the player's cards that are alone at a
