Get Ready For The Drop

It’s been a couple months since we introduced Series 4 and Series 5 cards, and we’re excited about our first-ever Series Drop! With every Series Drop, some Series 5 cards will move to Series 4, and some Series 4 cards will move to Series 3.

Series 5 cards that will move to Series 4:
● Valkyrie
● Super-Skrull
● Bast
● Shuri
● Black Panther

Series 4 cards that will move to Series 3:
● Luke Cage
● Absorbing Man
● She-Hulk
● Titania

When cards drop Series, they become 10x more common in Collector’s Reserves, and much cheaper in the Token Shop.

We look forward to doing a Series Drop every month! Series Drops currently require a patch, so the exact date and time may vary. The patch with this Series Drop (and the ability to Battle friends!) is currently planned for January 31st, though if we run into last minute issues we may choose to delay for a little longer to make sure things work correctly.

When choosing which cards to drop, we will often start with some of the ones that have been in that Series the longest. That is, except for…

The Big Bads
All cards will eventually become easy to obtain through enough Series Drops. However, there are currently two cards that we do not plan to drop down a series: Our favorite 6-Cost supervillains, Thanos and Galactus. They’re just too dang epic.

Introducing “First Edition”
We’re excited to announce a new feature that we’re working on: First Edition Badges! If you acquire a Series 5 card before it moves down a Series, that card will show a “First Edition Badge” when you inspect it. It’s a way to show that you got the card when it was brand new. This feature will take us some time to build, but our goals are to retroactively apply First Edition Badges to cards earned before the feature comes online AND to show the Badge on all variants and Infinity Splits of the card!

Token Shop Improvements
The Token Shop has been live for a little while and we’ve had some time to experience what we like and don’t like about it. We love how it allows players to make progress towards the cards they want most. We don’t love that the hottest, newest cards don’t feel very accessible to players who haven’t completed Series 3. Once players complete Series 3, they start earning 500% more Tokens on the Collection Track, but before then, Series 4 and 5 can feel out of reach. We are starting to experiment with changes we could make to let players who are still progressing through Series 3 feel quicker progress towards the new hotness. It’s going to take us a little time to make these changes, but our goal is to make the experience of earning Series 4 and 5 feel much better for folks who haven’t completed Series 3.

With so many new cards dropping to Series 3 and 4 and more dropping every month, things are about to get spicy! We can’t wait to see what wild new decks everyone will build!

"All cards will eventually become easy to obtain through enough Series Drops."

This is a lie. Even after the untold months it takes for cards to drop down to series 3 its still going to take awhile to get them. There is nothing 'easy' about card acquisition at the current series downgrade/token drop rate

Pulling one of these s4 cards before the 31st will feel really, really bad. I bet some people will not open any caches until the 31st, and this might be the reason why Brode recently revealed that the content of caches will be changed to predetermined instead of random.

Too bad if a game update comes the game forces you to open those caches with before update rate.

First, people say it's never going to happen because it didn't happen immediately. Now they're frothing because it's happening.

You can't win with players.

The "first edition" nonsense sounds like more whale pandering.

I wouldn't feel bad about pulling She-Hulk or Absorbing Man.

Where do you find anyone frothing? You can't win with white knights

You post on every thread about how you obviously hate a game you obviously play (or even more bizarrely, are obsessed with even though you don't play it) and over and above that, you clearly don't understand how it works.

Whatever else you may hate about this game, at least try to comprehend the mechanics. Anyone who has completed series three (which does take a defined amount of time - and f2p players from launch are fast approaching that point) will almost immediately obtain any card that drops to series three. Because there's one every four boxes, and if there's nothing left to get it'll be there right away.

So, you can keep on calling everyone who doesn't hate the game they are playing a simp. I'd call you something back, but I don't think a word exists to describe someone so confused that they waste their time doing something they think is useless but believe that proves their superiority over people who spend their time doing something they believe is fun. But the bottom line is, there's actually great news here.

Contrary to like, every single player's expectations, this list of cards that is dropping down is almost completely and universally a list of everything that's GOOD and is seeing widespread play. They are leaving the useless stuff in the upper tiers and dropping down the GOOD stuff.

Complain, don't complain, like the game you're playing or keep playing the game you hate and convince yourself that proves you're smart. But undeniably, they could have screwed the pooch on this one and they didn't. Good job.

It's needs to be possible to spend less then 300 bucks to go from pool 1 to pool 3 complete imo.

For a player who just showed up and wants to buy their way there immediately? Or for someone who's actually interested in playing the game for a while first?

Nope. No matter how many times you post it, it still won't be true.

Back on topic, I'm pleasantly surprised by the cards they chose for the drop. Shuri, Absorbing Man and She-Hulk are heavily played, Bast would be if it was more accesible. Shuri most of all is a surprise.

Spend alot of money and get alot of cards now and significantly increase your chances to counter the decks you are facing or spend less and limit yourself and lose alot more.
