These cards aren't just collectibles; they're also in-game assets. Scan them into the arcade machine to select specific champions before a match. With two series released, over 175 cards exist, including standard and rarer foil versions. Whether you're aiming for victory or collection completion, this guide covers everything you need to know about MCoC Champion Cards.
What are Champion Cards?
MCoC Champion Cards are physical trading cards dispensed by MCoC arcade machines at Dave & Buster's. They represent in-game characters and are used to select champions for arcade matches. Without scanning a card, the machine randomly assigns champions.
Each card showcases a specific MCoC Marvel character and has a foil variant, mirroring other collectible arcade cards (e.g., Mario Kart Arcade GP, Injustice Arcade). Series 1 featured 75 champions; Series 2 added 100, including reskins and new characters.
A Champion Card is awarded to each player post-match, regardless of the outcome. Winning doesn't influence card distribution, ensuring equal chances. Cards are from Series 1 (75 champions) or Series 2 (100 champions), each with rarer foil variants.
While not mandatory for arcade gameplay, Champion Cards enhance strategy and customization. Instead of random assignments, players strategically select their champions. Though not transferable to the mobile MCoC, they add a collectible dimension appreciated by fans. For mobile MCoC improvement strategies, explore our beginner's guide!
Champion Card Rarity and Collectibility
Like traditional trading cards, MCoC Champion Cards are highly collectible. While in-game functionality remains consistent, collecting the full set, including foil versions, is a popular pursuit. Series 2 introduced new designs and reskins of Series 1 characters, resulting in multiple versions of some cards.
The complete card roster includes:
- Series 1 (2019): 75 cards featuring classic MCoC characters.
- Series 2 (later release): 100 cards, including Series 1 reskins and new additions.
- Foil variants: Rarer, more valuable versions of standard cards.
Players aim for complete sets, specific Marvel characters, or solely foil cards. Their Dave & Buster's exclusivity adds to their appeal for Marvel enthusiasts.
