Following August's Young Avengers season, Marvel Snap (Free) swings into a new season brimming with Spidey-themed excitement! This month's theme is all about the Amazing Spider-Season – prepare for web-slinging action! While Bonesaw might be absent this time, the new cards and locations are undeniably cool. Let's dive in!

This season introduces a game-changing card mechanic: "Activate." Unlike "On Reveal," Activate abilities let you choose when to trigger their effects, providing strategic flexibility and evasion of certain counter-strategies. The Season Pass card perfectly showcases this new ability, promising exciting gameplay possibilities. For a detailed look at the season's launch, check out the official video below:

The Season Pass card, Symbiote Spider-Man (4-Cost, 6-Power), boasts an Activate ability that absorbs the lowest-cost card at its location and copies its text, even re-triggering On Reveal effects. Pairing him with Galactus promises chaotic fun, though his power level might necessitate a nerf later in the season.

Let's examine the other additions:

• Silver Sable: (1-Cost, 1-Power) Her On Reveal ability steals two power from the top card of your opponent's deck. Effective on its own, and even more potent in specific deck combinations.
• Madame Web: (Ongoing) Allows you to move one card at her location to another location once per turn.
• Arana: (1-Cost, 1-Power) Her Activate ability moves the next card you play to the right and grants it +2 Power, making her a potential staple in move-based decks.
• Scarlet Spider (Ben Reilly): (4-Cost, 5-Power) His Activate ability spawns an identical clone at another location – power him up and watch the clones multiply!

Two new locations join the fray:

• Brooklyn Bridge: A classic Spider-Man location with a unique twist: you can't place cards there on consecutive turns, demanding creative strategic thinking.
• Otto's Lab: Functions like Otto himself; the next card played there pulls a card from your opponent's hand into the location, adding an element of surprise.

This season brings exciting new cards and the innovative "Activate" mechanic, promising fresh strategic depth. Our September deck guide will be available soon to help you conquer this web-slinging challenge. What are your thoughts on the new season? Which cards are you most excited to use?
