Marvel Champions LCG Identification & AI Grading
Marvel Champions is a cooperative Living Card Game from Fantasy Flight Games. Players build hero decks to fight villains. The collectible side focuses on hero cards, alternate art, and promo cards.
Grade Marvel Champions CardsHistory & 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.
Core Set
Spider-Man, Iron Man, Black Panther, She-Hulk.
Hero Packs
Individual hero decks with signature cards.
Villain Packs
Scenario and villain encounter cards.
Alternate Art
Variant art hero cards and promos.
Promo 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.
