Marvel Contest of Champions (MCoC) extends beyond the mobile realm; it boasts an arcade version at Dave & Buster's, offering a distinctive take on the game. This arcade cabinet allows two-player 3v3 battles, with the victor decided by a best-of-three series. The standout 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 also in-game assets, scannable to select champions before a match. With two series released, there are over 175 cards, including standard and foil versions. Whether you're aiming for strategic advantages or collection completion, this guide covers everything you need to know about MCoC Champion Cards.
What are Champion Cards?
Champion Cards are physical trading cards dispensed by MCoC arcade machines at Dave & Buster's. Each card represents a game character and can be used to choose champions in the arcade game. If no cards are scanned, the machine randomly selects champions.
Each card features a Marvel character from MCoC and has a foil variant, mirroring other collectible arcade cards (e.g., Mario Kart Arcade GP, Injustice Arcade). Series 1 contained 75 champions; Series 2 added 100, including reskins of Series 1 characters.

A Champion Card is awarded to each player after every match, regardless of victory. The card is randomly assigned, providing equal chances for all players. Cards are drawn from either of the two series, each with foil variants that enhance collectibility.
Champion Cards aren't mandatory for arcade play but add strategic depth and personalization. Players can scan preferred cards instead of relying on random champion assignments. While these cards don't transfer to the mobile MCoC game, they enhance the arcade experience with a collectible element. For mobile MCoC improvement tips, see our beginner's guide!
Champion Card Rarity and Collectibility
Like traditional trading cards, MCoC Champion Cards have collector value. All cards function identically in-game, yet some players aim for complete sets, including rare foil versions. Series 2 introduced new designs and reskins of Series 1 characters, resulting in multiple versions of some cards.
The complete card roster includes:
- 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.
Players may aim for complete sets, specific Marvel characters, or solely foil cards. Their Dave & Buster's exclusivity adds to their appeal for Marvel enthusiasts.
