Marvel Contest of Champions (MCoC) extends beyond the mobile realm; it boasts an arcade version at Dave & Buster's, offering a unique competitive experience. This arcade cabinet allows two-player 3v3 battles, best of three rounds determining the victor. 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 just for show; they're scannable, allowing players to select specific champions before a match. With two series released, over 175 cards exist, including standard and rarer foil variants. Whether you're a strategic player or a collector, this guide covers everything about MCoC Champion Cards.
What are Champion Cards?
MCoC Champion Cards are physical trading cards dispensed by MCoC arcade machines at Dave & Buster's. Each card represents a game character and is used for champion selection in arcade matches. Unscanned cards result in random champion assignments.
Each card features a Marvel character from MCoC, with a foil variant mirroring collectible arcade cards from games like Mario Kart Arcade GP and Injustice Arcade. Series 1 offered 75 champions, while Series 2 expanded to 100.
A card is dispensed to each player post-match, regardless of the win/loss. The card is randomly assigned; victory doesn't influence the card received. Cards hail from two series (Series 1: 75 champions; Series 2: 100 champions, including reskins of Series 1 characters), each with a rarer foil variant.
While not mandatory for arcade gameplay, Champion Cards add strategic depth and personalization. Instead of random champions, players can strategically select their favorites. Note: These cards don't transfer to the mobile MCoC game, but they enhance the arcade experience with a collectible element. For mobile MCoC improvement tips, check our beginner's guide!
Champion Card Rarity and Collectibility
Similar to traditional trading cards, MCoC Champion Cards are highly collectible. While in-game functionality is identical across all cards, collectors aim for complete sets, including rare foil versions. Series 2 introduced new designs and reskins, leading to multiple versions of some characters.
The complete card roster includes:
- Series 1 (2019): 75 classic MCoC character cards.
- Series 2 (later release): 100 cards, featuring reskinned Series 1 characters and new additions.
- Foil variants: Rarer, more valuable versions of standard cards.
Collectors pursue complete sets, favorite characters, or solely foil cards. Their Dave & Buster's exclusivity adds to their appeal for Marvel enthusiasts.
