History & Market Context

Marvel Champions launched in 2019 as a cooperative LCG, where each expansion adds hero packs, villain packs, and scenario packs. Unlike booster-based TCGs, most cards are sold in fixed packs, but promo cards and alternate-art cards are distributed at events and conventions.

The game uses hero and alter-ego sides, allies, events, upgrades, supports, and resources. Each hero has a signature hero deck and can include aspect cards from Leadership, Justice, Aggression, and Protection. Promo cards are the most collectible, followed by hero cards and alternate-art cards.

Artists, Sets & Design

Marvel Champions art is sourced from Marvel Comics and the MCU, with original commissioned pieces for hero and villain cards. Fantasy Flight Games uses a mix of comic panel art, movie stills, and new illustrations. Promo cards often feature unique art not found elsewhere.

Card layout is similar to other FFG LCGs: cost, type, hero/alter-ego side, aspect, and traits. The most collectible cards are hero cards and promos, with aspect cards being less valuable but still graded if unique.
