That's because both players receive a Champion Card—a physical collectible featuring one of the many Marvel heroes or villains from the game. These aren't just pretty cards; they're your keys to strategic gameplay! Scan them into the arcade machine to choose your champions before each match, adding a layer of personalized strategy to the already intense battles.

With two series and over 175 cards (including standard and foil variants) already released, the collecting possibilities are vast. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting your journey, this guide will equip you with everything you need to know about MCoC Champion Cards.

What Are Champion Cards?

Marvel Contest of Champions Champion Cards are physical trading cards dispensed from dedicated arcade machines at Dave & Buster's locations. Each card represents a character from the MCoC mobile game and can be scanned to select that character for your arcade battles. Skip the scan, and the machine randomly assigns your champions.

Each card showcases a Marvel character, mirroring the in-game roster, and boasts a rarer foil variant, similar to collectible cards found in other arcade games like Mario Kart Arcade GP and Injustice Arcade. Series 1 launched with 75 unique champions, while Series 2 expanded the collection to a total of 175 cards.

Win or lose, every player receives a card after each match. The card you receive is entirely random, offering an equal chance at obtaining any champion from the current series. Currently, cards come from Series 1 (75 champions) or Series 2 (100 champions, including reskins and new additions), each with their own foil variants.

While not mandatory for arcade gameplay, Champion Cards introduce a strategic element and collectible dimension. Choose your fighters instead of relying on chance, and add a fun, physical aspect to the MCoC experience. (Note: These cards don't transfer to the mobile version of the game.)

Champion Card Rarity and Collectibility

Like any good trading card, MCoC Champion Cards offer a satisfying collecting experience. While all cards function identically in the arcade game, the hunt for a complete set, especially including those elusive foil versions, adds a layer of excitement. Series 2 introduced new designs while retaining some characters from Series 1, resulting in multiple versions of certain champions.

The Complete Card Lineup:

• Series 1 (2019): 75 cards featuring classic MCoC characters.
• Series 2 (Later Release): 100 cards, including reskins of Series 1 characters and brand new additions.
• Foil Variants: The rarer, more valuable versions of standard cards.

Whether you aim for a complete set, hunt for your favorite Marvel characters, or focus on collecting foil cards, the thrill of the chase is all part of the fun. And because these cards are exclusive to Dave & Buster's, they’ve become a unique collectible for Marvel fans.
