Marvel Snap shakes things up with the new Sanctum Showdown mode

by Peyton Mar 16,2025

Conquer the Sanctum in Marvel Snap's electrifying new limited-time mode, Sanctum Showdown! Available until March 11th, this event introduces a thrilling twist on the classic Marvel Snap formula.

Forget the usual six-turn battles; in Sanctum Showdown, the first player to reach 16 points wins! The key is the Sanctum location, which awards the most points each turn, making it a prime target for strategic play. Snapping mechanics are also revamped. Starting from turn three, you can snap once per turn to boost the Sanctum's point value by one, adding another layer of high-stakes decision-making.

Each match costs one Scroll, but victory earns you another, keeping the competition flowing. You begin with 12 Scrolls, replenishing by two every eight hours. Run out? Replenish your supply with 40 Gold. Win or lose, every match contributes to your Sorcerer Rank and rewards you with Charms, redeemable in the Sanctum Shop for exclusive cosmetics and potentially new cards.

Prepare for a shake-up! Certain cards and locations are banned to ensure fair play. Abilities affecting final scores are disabled, and cards like Debrii are removed to prevent overpowered strategies. Think you can outsmart the system with Captain Marvel or Dracula? Think again!

This mode offers a unique opportunity to acquire Laufey, Gorgon, and Uncle Ben before their arrival in the Token Shop on March 13th. Participate in Portal Pulls for a chance to unlock these powerful cards, along with up to four additional Series 4 or 5 cards.

Don't miss out! Sanctum Showdown ends March 11th. Visit the official website for more details.
