With over 175 cards across two series, including standard and foil variants, the possibilities are endless. Whether you're aiming for victory or building the ultimate collection, this guide reveals everything you need to know about MCoC Champion Cards.
What Are Champion Cards?
Marvel Contest of Champions Champion Cards are physical trading cards dispensed by the MCoC arcade machines at Dave & Buster's. Each card represents a different character from the game and lets you strategically select your champions before a match. Skip the scan, and the machine randomly selects your champions.
Each card showcases a unique Marvel character from MCoC and boasts a coveted foil variant, mirroring collectible arcade cards from titles like *Mario Kart Arcade GP* and *Injustice Arcade*. Series 1 launched with 75 champions, while Series 2 expanded the roster to 100, adding new characters and reskinned versions of Series 1 favorites.
Win or lose, you'll receive a Champion Card after every match! The card you receive is completely random, ensuring every player has a fair chance at acquiring specific champions. Cards are drawn from either Series 1 (75 champions) or Series 2 (100 champions), with each card having a rarer foil variant.
While not mandatory for arcade gameplay, Champion Cards add a layer of strategic depth and customization. Instead of relying on chance, you can strategically choose your champions. Note that these cards don't transfer to the mobile version of MCoC, but they add a unique collectible element to the arcade experience.

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, including those rare foil versions, is a thrilling pursuit for many collectors. Series 2 introduced new designs while retaining some Series 1 characters, resulting in multiple card versions for certain 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: Special, rarer, and more valuable versions of standard cards.
Whether your goal is a complete set, your favorite Marvel characters, or just the thrill of the foil chase, the exclusivity of these cards—only obtainable at Dave & Buster's—makes them a highly sought-after collectible for Marvel fans.
