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, offering a unique competitive twist. This arcade cabinet allows two-player 3v3 battles, culminating in a best-of-three showdown. However, the true allure lies in the post-match reward: a Champion Card—a physical collectible featuring a Marvel hero or villain.

These cards aren't mere collectibles; they're in-game assets. Scanned into the arcade machine, they allow players to choose specific champions before a match. With over 175 cards across two series (including standard and foil variants), the collecting potential is vast. Whether you prioritize strategic gameplay or collection completion, this guide unveils everything about 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 game. Unscanned cards result in random champion assignments.

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

Regardless of victory or defeat, both players receive a card after each match. The card dispensed is random, ensuring equal chances for all players. Cards belong to one of two series: Series 1 (75 champions) and Series 2 (100 champions, including reskins of Series 1 characters). Each card has a rarer foil counterpart.

While not mandatory for arcade gameplay, Champion Cards enhance strategic depth and customization. They eliminate random champion assignments, letting players leverage their preferred characters. Note that these cards don't transfer to the mobile MCoC game, but they enrich the arcade experience with a collectible element. For mobile MCoC improvement strategies, explore our beginner's guide!

Rarity and Collectibility of Champion Cards

MCoC Champion Cards share the allure of traditional trading cards. Although in-game functionality remains consistent, collectors strive for complete sets, including the elusive foil variants. Series 2 introduced new designs alongside Series 1 characters, resulting in multiple card versions for some champions.

The complete card roster includes:

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

Players pursue complete sets, specific Marvel characters, or solely foil cards. Their Dave & Buster's exclusivity adds to their appeal for Marvel enthusiasts.
