These Champion Cards are more than mere collectibles; they can be scanned into the arcade machine to handpick your champions before a match begins. With two series released to date, the collection boasts over 175 cards, including both standard and coveted foil variants. Whether you're aiming to enhance your battle strategy or build a complete set, here’s your go-to guide on MCoC Champion Cards.

What Are Champion Cards?

Champion Cards are physical trading cards dispensed by the Marvel Contest of Champions arcade machines at Dave & Buster’s. Each card embodies a specific Marvel character from MCoC and can be used to select champions during your arcade battles. If you opt not to scan any cards, the machine will randomly assign champions for you.

The cards come in two series: the first with 75 champions and the second expanding to 100. Additionally, each card has a foil variant, much like collectible arcade cards found in games like Mario Kart Arcade GP and Injustice Arcade. Post-match, regardless of the outcome, each player receives a Champion Card, ensuring an equal chance at any champion. The cards are drawn from either of the two series, with Series 1 featuring 75 champions and Series 2 offering 100. Foil variants add an extra layer of rarity and collectibility.

While not necessary for gameplay, Champion Cards enhance the arcade experience by adding a strategic and customizable element. They don’t transfer to the mobile version, but they enrich the arcade play with a collectible charm that fans adore.

Champion Card Rarity and Collectibility

Similar to traditional trading cards, MCoC Champion Cards hold a significant appeal for collectors. All cards perform identically in the arcade, yet the allure lies in collecting the full set, especially the scarce foil versions. The second series introduced new designs while retaining many characters from the first, resulting in multiple styles for some cards.

The total list of available cards includes:

• Series 1 (2019): 75 champion cards featuring classic MCoC characters.
• Series 2 (later release): 100 cards, with reskinned versions of Series 1 and additional characters.
• Foil variants: Special versions of standard cards that are rarer and more valuable.

Collectors aim to complete the set, find their favorite Marvel characters, or simply gather foil cards. Since these can only be obtained at Dave & Buster’s, they represent a unique, exclusive collectible for Marvel enthusiasts.

For those who prefer digital collections, consider playing the main MCoC game on PC with BlueStacks, where you can manage and battle with your champions without an arcade visit!
