Marvel Contest of Champions (MCoC) extends beyond the mobile realm; it boasts an arcade version at Dave & Buster's, offering a distinct gameplay experience. This arcade cabinet allows two-player 3v3 battles, with the victor decided by a best-of-three series. The unique feature? Both players receive a Champion Card after each match – a physical collectible showcasing Marvel heroes and villains from the game.

These cards aren't mere collectibles; they're used to select champions before arcade matches. With over 175 cards across two series (including standard and foil variants), the collecting possibilities are vast. This guide covers everything you need to know about MCoC Champion Cards, whether you're focused on optimizing battles or completing your collection.
What are Champion Cards?
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 scanned cards, the machine randomly selects champions.
Each card features a Marvel character from MCoC and has a foil variant, echoing other collectible arcade card games (like Mario Kart Arcade GP and Injustice Arcade). Series 1 featured 75 champions, while Series 2 added 100, including reskins 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 from Series 1 (75 champions) or Series 2 (100 champions), each with rarer foil variants.
Champion Cards aren't mandatory for arcade play but add strategic depth and customization. Instead of random assignments, players can strategically select champions. While these cards don't transfer to the mobile MCoC, they enhance the arcade experience with a collectible element. For mobile MCoC tips, check out our beginner's guide!
Champion Card Rarity and Collectibility
Like traditional trading cards, MCoC Champion Cards are highly collectible. While functionality is identical in-game, collectors aim for complete sets, including rare foil versions. Series 2 introduced new designs and reskins, resulting in multiple versions of some characters.
Available Cards:
- Series 1 (2019): 75 cards featuring classic MCoC characters.
- Series 2 (later release): 100 cards, including reskins and new characters.
- Foil Variants: Rarer, more valuable versions of standard cards.
Collectors pursue complete sets, favorite characters, or solely foil cards. Their Dave & Buster's exclusivity adds to their appeal for Marvel fans. For digital roster building, play MCoC on PC with BlueStacks for enhanced control, screen size, and smoother gameplay!
