Marvel Contest of Champions: A Deep Dive into Champion Cards

Beyond the popular mobile game, Marvel Contest of Champions (MCoC) boasts an arcade version at Dave & Buster's, offering a unique, head-to-head gameplay experience. Two players engage in thrilling 3v3 battles, vying for victory in a best-of-three showdown. But the real draw? Each match rewards both players with a Champion Card – a physical collectible featuring a Marvel hero or villain from the game.

These aren't just collectibles; these cards are scannable, allowing players to strategically select their champions before each match. With over 175 cards across two series (including standard and foil variants), the collecting possibilities are vast. This guide explores 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. Each card represents a game character and can be used to choose your in-game champions. Unscanned? The machine randomly selects champions for you.

Each card showcases a specific MCoC Marvel character and features a rarer foil variant, reminiscent of collectible arcade cards from titles like Mario Kart Arcade GP and Injustice Arcade. Series 1 launched with 75 champions, while Series 2 added another 100, including some redesigns of Series 1 characters.

A card is dispensed to each player after every match, win or lose. The card received is random, ensuring equal chances for all players. Cards are drawn from the existing two series, each with its own unique set of champions and foil variants.

Champion Card Rarity and Collectibility

Like traditional trading cards, MCoC Champion Cards have a strong collectible element. While all cards function identically in-game, the hunt for a complete set, including elusive foil versions, fuels the collecting passion. Series 2 introduced new designs alongside reskins of Series 1 characters, creating multiple versions of some champions.

The complete card roster includes:

  • Series 1 (2019): 75 cards featuring classic MCoC characters.
  • Series 2 (later release): 100 cards, including redesigns and new additions.
  • Foil Variants: Rarer, more valuable versions of standard cards.

Collectors pursue complete sets, specific Marvel favorites, or focus solely on acquiring foil cards. Their exclusive availability at Dave & Buster's adds to their allure.

Where to Find MCoC Champion Cards

Currently, these cards are exclusively available at Dave & Buster's locations with the MCoC arcade cabinet. They cannot be purchased in-game or earned through the mobile MCoC.
