All Variants in Marvel Snap explained

Just like in any game, Marvel Snap knows that players want to personalize their experience — and when it comes to this card game specifically, it’s all about blinding your opponent with shiny and rare cards.

The variant system in Marvel Snap allows players a unique way to reimagine their favorite superheroes and villains in the craziest alternate realities. Here is a quick but in-depth guide on how to acquire variants and what are the different kinds of them.

What are variants in Marvel Snap?

Variants in Marvel Snap are similar to skins in other games. For players wanting to bling out and show off, variants allow players to bring some personality to their decks with alternate art cards of their favorite characters. There are many different variants for every single character.

The double-edged sword however is that variants count as an additional card. Players who have put in resources upgrading their standard versions won’t see those same upgrades transferred over. At the same time, they count as new cards for players to upgrade for their collection level.

As for what it takes to acquire these, players can get Variants from the rotating daily shop or through rewards via collection level or battle pass.

What are some of the different variant styles?

In Marvel Snap there are many different Variant styles for each card. In fact, there are so many different styles, some of which might have not been discovered by players yet. However, there are some common Variant styles that players may have already seen in the daily shop or in-game. Here are examples of some of the variants.
