Both cards have become staples in the competitive meta and the latest update will help balance their power accordingly. Thanos\u2019 power has dropped to 10, which isn\u2019t a huge change but is enough to lower his impact slightly. The biggest change involves his Space Stone, which now allows players to move a card to its location the following turn. This will help eliminate the number of Lockjaw triggers when the card is played and should make Thanos decks easier to counter. Aero previously moved all enemy cards played this turn to its location, but now it will only move the last enemy card played this turn to the location. This change is meant to keep more five-cost cards viable while also allowing players to use their endgame strategy. The latest patch introduces several other changes to Marvel Snap, including changes to other cards, bug fixes, and other quality-of-life updates. The full Marvel Snap patch notes are below. Marvel Snap March 21 patch notes Patch highlights More Tokens: Players who have not yet finished Series 3 will now earn four times more tokens than before. Shop Update: Cards can now be acquired from the Shop in two different sections: Series 3 cards have been separated into their own shop section. Instead of purchasing one Series 3 card a month with tokens, players can now choose one Series 3 card to unlock each month for free. So, save those tokens for Series 4 and Series 5. The Token Shop now contains only Series 4, Series 5, and Ultimate Variants. General updates Seasonal Series Drop: Some cards have dropped down to a lower series! Cards dropping from Series 5 to Series 4: Zabu Sauron Shanna Dazzler Shadow King Cards dropping from Series 4 to Series 3: M\u2019baku Orka Attuma When you tap on a card for more details during a match, the big card detail screen now features Artist Credits and Card Mods. Audio New Card Sounds for: Thanos Nimrod Master Mold Negasonic Teenage Warhead New Location Sounds for: Morag Bar Sinister Art and visual effects Thanos now has VFX along with all of the Infinity Stones. Card updates Thanos 6\/11 to 6\/10 Developer comments: \"We increased Thanos\u2019s Power in a previous patch that was built during a time when Zabu and Silver Surfer were suppressing the success of Thanos-based decks. We\u2019re happy to keep him at 9+ Power for Shang-Chi\u2019s sake, but given his recent success we thought it appropriate to pull back on that buff just a touch. This change won\u2019t dramatically impact the success of Thanos decks, as most of the strength is in the Stone interactions.\" Space Stone On Reveal: Next turn you can move 1 card at this location. Draw a card. On Reveal: Next turn, you can move one card to this location. Draw a card. Developer comments: \"This is among the strongest Stones in Thanos decks due to its ability to create bonus Lockjaw triggers and disguise where strong cards might move. This change reduces its efficacy with Lockjaw by removing the incentive to play Space Stone itself for a Lockjaw trigger, flattening the number of bonus trigger opportunities for Lockjaw, and restricting the strategic options for late-game movement. We expect this to reduce the tactical flexibility of Thanos decks and make them more fun to play against.\" Quinjet Now reduces costs to a minimum of 1. Developer comments: \"Cost reduction is powerful, and Quinjet was one of very few cards capable of reducing multiple cards\u2019 Energy cost to 0. While we\u2019ve enjoyed this interaction in some cases, such as The Hood\u2019s Demon, ultimately it creates both an ongoing risk for future design space as well as fueling the dominant Thanos decks of today. This change should be a meaningful net reduction in strength to Thanos decks across the board.\" Red Skull 5\/15 - Ongoing: Enemy cards at this location have +2 Power. (NEW) 5\/13 Ongoing: Enemy cards at this location have +1 Power. Developer comments: \"This change is singularly aimed at reducing the strength of combining Red Skull with Shuri and Taskmaster. Outside of those interactions, this change is mostly a buff to the base case usage for Red Skull, giving you 9 or 10 Power at crowded locations rather than 7 or 9.\" She-Hulk 6\/10 to 6\/9 Developer comments: \"She-Hulk is a key component in the strongest Shuri decks, but it sees widespread play in various decks thanks to its strength alongside Sunspot, Wave, and Moon Girl. We mostly think that\u2019s cool, but that she\u2019s more powerful than she needs to be for those combos. In addition, we want to encourage playing actively to locations, rather than holding cards for explosive turn 6s, so we\u2019re continuing to weaken a few of the best cards for the latter.\" Aero 5\/7 - On Reveal: Move all enemy cards played this turn to this location. (NEW) 5\/8 - On Reveal: Move the last enemy card played this turn to this location. Developer comments: \"Aero is a tricky card for us. The actual game balance for Aero has been healthy, and she fulfills a vital role in our game by providing interaction, especially against dangerously polarizing cards like Galactus. It\u2019s important for Aero to be versatile and strong in order to be a widely playable 'tech card,' but we don\u2019t want her pushing the majority of other 5-Cost cards out of decks. Unfortunately, that\u2019s the behavior we\u2019re seeing. Aero can also be frustrating to see, denying players the option to play their own endgames. This change seeks to keep Aero strong where she\u2019s needed, foster more competition among 5-Cost cards, and add counterplay to make her more fun to play against.\" Mystique, Absorbing Man, and Taskmaster
