Marvel Snap's December 2023 Season Appears to Take Players to the Hellfire Gala

According to datamined information, Marvel Snap's December 2023 season will be themed around the Hellfire Gala, the Hellfire Club's annual celebration of mutant culture on Krakoa organized by the Black King and White Queen. As such, players can look forward to various new cards and variants based on this event that feature some of the X-Men's iconic mutants and their foes. While plenty of stylish new variants seem to be coming this season, the most exciting part might be the new cards being added that boast some unique abilities that have the potential to reshape Marvel Snap's meta.

The season pass card for Marvel Snap's Hellfire Gala season is the Black King of the Hellfire Club himself, Sebastian Shaw, who could potentially be another must-have season pass card with his incredibly useful ability. Sebastian Shaw could be great to pair with cards like Elsa Bloodstone, Okoye, and Silver Surfer due to the extra Power he gains when getting a permanent Power increase. While Firestar, Havok, and Selene could be useful in their own ways, Blob is the other potentially meta-defining card as his ability can potentially offer a huge Power swing on turn six and also completely disrupt players running Darkhawk decks.

As is typically the case with most Marvel Snap seasons, players can also expect tons of new cosmetics during the Hellfire Gala season, including Marvel Snap's card variants. Many cards appear to be getting stylish Hellfire Gala variants that see iconic characters like Black Panther, Doctor Doom, Rogue, and more dressed to the nines in fashionable Hellfire Club attire. Additionally, the season pass will also contain other cosmetics like new card backs, titles, and player avatars for those who decide to purchase the Premium or Premium + Season Pass, although free-to-play players can still earn a certain amount of currency from the season pass.
