Marvel Snap March 12, 2024 patch notes add custom borders and graveyard feature
Published , by Donovan Erskine
Second Dinner has deployed a massive update to Marvel Snap that adds several new features and balance adjustments to the digital card game. Let’s jump right in.
Did you look away for a second when your opponent played Turn 1 Yondu?
Don’t you wish you could see what card was destroyed?
Now you can!
While in a match, tap your Player Avatar which can be found in the top left corner of the screen. A menu with your emotes will appear.
At the bottom of that menu, tap on the word Destroyed or Discarded to see cards that have been Destroyed... Or, you guessed it, Discarded! This also works if you tap on your opponent's Player Avatar. Note that cards like Wolverine, Sabertooth, and Deadpool won’t appear here - they’ve been destroyed, but they are not destroyed. Healing factor, what are you going to do?
Undo End Turn
As long as your opponent hasn’t ended their turn, you can go back to the staging step.
Custom Border
Custom Border allows you to combine your favorite owned variant art, any border rarity, and a finish/flare combo you own for that variant to make the most stylish card.
Custom Border appears at the top of your Card Variant list. Add them to your deck and set them as your Favorite to add to future decks easily.
Complete three total Infinity Splits to unlock the Custom Border feature. After that, any Card with at least 1 Infinity Split has the feature available.
Gold Pass
Looking for some extra gold throughout the season?
Purchasing a Gold Pass will give an initial recharge of gold and then additional amount of Gold every day for the next 30 days.
