Marvel Snap shakes things up with the new Sanctum Showdown mode

by Skylar Mar 18,2025

Conquer the Sanctum in Marvel Snap's new limited-time mode, Sanctum Showdown! Available until March 11th, this event introduces a thrilling new way to play.

Reach 16 points first to claim victory—a departure from the usual six-turn format. The Sanctum location is key, awarding the most points each turn. Snapping mechanics are also revamped; starting on turn three, you can snap once per turn to boost the Sanctum's value by one point, creating constant shifts in momentum.

Each match costs one Scroll, but winning earns you another, keeping the gameplay flowing. You begin with 12 Scrolls, replenishing by two every eight hours. Run out? Purchase more for 40 Gold. Regardless of win or loss, every match increases your Sorcerer Rank and earns you Charms, redeemable in the Sanctum Shop for cosmetics and new cards.

Strategize carefully! Some cards and locations are banned to ensure fair play. Abilities affecting final scores are disabled, and cards like Debrii are removed to prevent overpowered strategies. Captain Marvel and Dracula, for example, won't be helping you here.
