Marvel Contest of Champions (MCoC) extends beyond the mobile platform with an exciting arcade version available at Dave & Buster's locations. This unique arcade experience lets you engage in thrilling 3v3 battles with another player, where the winner emerges after a best-of-three showdown. The real charm, however, lies in the Champion Cards—physical collectibles dispensed after each match, featuring iconic Marvel heroes and villains from the game.

These Champion Cards are not just for show—they can be scanned into the arcade machine to select specific champions before your match begins. With two series released so far, 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 comprehensive collection, here’s your ultimate guide to MCoC Champion Cards.

What Are Champion Cards?

Champion Cards are physical trading cards you receive from the Marvel Contest of Champions arcade machines at Dave & Buster's. Each card represents a different character from the game and can be used to handpick your champions for arcade battles. If you don't scan any cards, the machine will randomly assign champions for you.

Every card showcases a unique Marvel character from MCoC and comes with a foil variant, similar to collectibles from games like Mario Kart Arcade GP and Injustice Arcade. The first series introduced 75 champions, while the second series expanded the roster to 100 cards.

Post-match, the arcade machine dispenses a Champion Card for each player, irrespective of the match's outcome. The card you receive is randomly selected from either of the two series, with Series 1 offering 75 champions and Series 2 increasing the selection to 100. Each card also has a rare foil variant, adding to their collectibility.

While Champion Cards are not necessary to play the arcade game, they introduce a strategic element and customization. By scanning your preferred cards, you can gain a tactical advantage over randomly selected champions. Although these cards don't transfer to the mobile version, they enrich the arcade experience with their collectible nature.

Champion Card Rarity and Collectibility

Similar to traditional trading cards, MCoC Champion Cards possess a strong collectible appeal. All cards serve the same function in the arcade game, yet many players aim to collect the full set, particularly the elusive foil versions. The second series brought new designs while retaining many characters from the first, resulting in multiple card styles for some champions.

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.

For some, the thrill is in completing the entire set, while others focus on collecting their favorite Marvel characters or the coveted foil cards. As these cards are exclusively available at Dave & Buster’s, they become a unique collectible for Marvel enthusiasts.

If digital collecting is more your style, consider playing the main MCoC game on PC with BlueStacks, where you can train, upgrade, and battle with your favorite characters without needing an arcade visit!
