Highlights

  • Marvel Snap's Black Order season kicks off with new cards and deck experimentation.
  • The introduction of Albums in Marvel Snap rewards players for collecting variants.
  • The Destroy All Pixels Album focuses on the unpopular Pixel Variants, but offers enticing rewards.

Marvel Snap's Black Order season is off to a strong start thanks to the introduction of new cards like Black Swan and Super Giant that have the community experimenting with new deck types. While new cards are always an exciting part of Marvel Snap, equally exciting are the different card variants players can collect, with some being far more popular than others. Certain Marvel Snap variants have become infamous among the community as some of the worst in the game, but the latest Album added to the game incentivizes players to collect these unpopular cards.

Albums were introduced in the December 2023 season of Marvel Snap as a way of rewarding players for collecting variants of a certain set. Most of these rewards are well worth the effort because they include things like unique variants, avatars, and brand-new emotes for players to use. While only four Albums were available initially, the previous couple of seasons have steadily introduced more, giving players even more of a reason to invest in their Marvel Snap variant collection.

Is Marvel Snap Worth Playing in 2024?

Marvel Snap has seen a lot of changes since it first launched in 2022, some of which have players reconsidering if the game's worth playing in 2024.

Marvel Snap’s New Destroy All Pixels Album Gives Players a Reason to Collect an Unpopular Variant Type

Arguably one of the least popular variant types in Marvel Snap are Pixel Variants, which are also among the most common variants players will pull from Collector's Reserves and Mystery Variants. These variants were so unpopular with fans that Marvel Snap had to introduce the Premium Mystery Variant item that guaranteed players wouldn't pull a disappointing Pixel Variant. While not every Pixel Variant in Marvel Snap is a dud, there are usually much better variants available for a specific card, making obtaining Pixel Variants in general underwhelming.

All Cards Needed to Complete the Destroy All Pixels Album

  • Deadpool Pixel Variant
  • Nova Pixel Variant
  • Forge Pixel Variant
  • Wolverine Pixel Variant
  • Carnage Pixel Variant
  • Killmonger Pixel Variant
  • Venom Pixel Variant
  • Deathlok Pixel Variant
  • Lady Deathstrike Pixel Variant
  • Death Pixel Variant
  • Knull Pixel Variant
  • Arnim Zola Pixel Variant

There are a total of 12 Pixel Variants that players will need to collect to complete this Album, and most are cards that are common within Marvel Snap's destroy archetype. Cards like Deadpool, Killmonger, Carnage, and Venom will be very familiar to players who frequently play destroy decks in Marvel Snap. Given how popular this archetype is in the current meta, it was a smart move to make the first Pixel Variant Album themed around destroy cards, since it's likely players will be trying to collect variants for this archetype anyway.

Rewards for Completing the Destroy All Pixels Album

9 Variants

Wolverine Emote

12 Variants

These Pixel Variants might not be that exciting to collect on their own, but Marvel Snap's Destroy All Pixels Album offers some great rewards for players to earn. Albums in Marvel Snap reward players with a new cosmetic or currency for every three variants of a specific Album that they collect. The Destroy All Pixels Album is no different, offering rewards at manageable tiers for players to achieve, given how common Pixel Variants are in Marvel Snap.

The star of this Album's rewards is the Wolverine Emote, which takes one of Marvel's most popular characters and lets players spam them at their opponent during a match. Another great reward is the 1000 Collector's Tokens on offer for only collecting six of the 12 Pixel Variants in the Album, which avid Marvel Snap players may already be close to reaching, as Albums take previously obtained variants into consideration. The least appealing of these rewards are the Sabretooth Pixel Variant and avatar, but for players collecting all of these destroy Pixel Variants, it might be worthwhile simply to have an entire deck of them.
