These cards aren't just for show; they're scannable in the arcade machine to select champions before a match. With two series released, over 175 cards exist, including standard and rarer foil versions. Whether you're aiming for strategic advantage or collection completion, this guide covers everything you need to know.

Understanding Champion Cards

Champion Cards are physical trading cards dispensed by Marvel Contest of Champions arcade machines at Dave & Buster's. They represent in-game characters and are used to select champions during arcade gameplay. If no cards are scanned, the machine randomly assigns champions.

Each card features a specific MCoC Marvel character and comes in a foil variant, mirroring other collectible arcade cards (e.g., Mario Kart Arcade GP, Injustice Arcade). Series 1 contained 75 champions, while Series 2 added 100, including some redesigns of Series 1 characters.

A card is dispensed to each player after every match, regardless of the win/loss outcome. The card is randomly selected from the existing two series (75 from Series 1, 100 from Series 2), each with foil variants.

While not mandatory for arcade gameplay, Champion Cards add strategic depth and personalization. Instead of random assignments, players can scan their chosen cards for a battle advantage. Note that these cards don't transfer to the mobile MCoC game, but they enhance the arcade experience with a collectible element.

Champion Card Rarity and Collectibility

Like traditional trading cards, MCoC Champion Cards are highly collectible. While all cards function identically in the arcade game, many players aim for complete sets, including the rarer foil versions. Series 2 introduced new designs and redesigns of Series 1 characters, resulting in multiple versions of some cards.

Card Breakdown:

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

Collecting goals vary: complete sets, favorite Marvel characters, or solely foil cards. Their Dave & Buster's exclusivity adds to their appeal for Marvel enthusiasts.
