These aren't just ordinary collectibles; these Champion Cards unlock strategic advantages within the arcade game itself. Scan your card to choose your champion before battle, adding a layer of personalized strategy to the gameplay. With over 175 cards across two series—including standard and foil variants—the collecting possibilities are vast. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know about MCoC Champion Cards.

What Are Champion Cards?

Champion Cards are physical trading cards dispensed by Marvel Contest of Champions arcade machines at Dave & Buster's. Each card represents a different character from the game and acts as your champion selection in the arcade version. Skip the card scan, and the machine randomly assigns your champions. Think of them as the physical embodiment of your in-game roster.

Each card showcases a Marvel character from MCoC, and just like other collectible arcade cards (think Mario Kart Arcade GP and Injustice Arcade), they come in standard and rarer foil versions. Series 1 boasted 75 unique champions, while Series 2 expanded the roster to a total of 100.

Win or lose, you'll receive a Champion Card after every match. The card you get isn't tied to your victory or defeat—it's a completely random draw from either Series 1 (75 champions) or Series 2 (100 champions), each with their own foil variants. These cards aren't required to play, but they inject a strategic and collectible element into the arcade experience.

While these cards don't transfer to the mobile version of Marvel Contest of Champions, they add a unique layer of physical collecting and strategic depth to the arcade game. For tips on mastering the mobile game itself, check out our Marvel Contest of Champions beginner's guide!

Champion Card Rarity and Collectibility

Like traditional trading cards, MCoC Champion Cards have a strong collectible appeal. While all cards function identically in the arcade game, the hunt for a complete set, especially including those elusive foil versions, is a driving force for many collectors. Series 2 added new designs and reskinned versions of Series 1 characters, creating multiple variations of some champions.

The complete card roster includes:

• Series 1 (2019): 75 champion cards featuring classic MCoC characters.
• Series 2 (later release): 100 cards, including reskinned Series 1 characters and new additions.
• Foil variants: Rarer, more valuable special versions of standard cards.

Whether your goal is a complete set, specific Marvel favorites, or just a collection of foil cards, the exclusivity of these cards—only obtainable at Dave & Buster's—adds to their allure.
