List of Marvel Snap balance changes in October 2024

• Zabu: Before, it was a 2-cost, 3-power card that lowered the cost of your 4-cost cards by one until the end of the next turn. Now, it’s been adjusted to a 1-cost, 2-power card that gives each 4-cost card in your deck a permanent -1 cost.
• Hellcow: Hellcow used to be a 4-cost, 6-power card that made you discard two cards from your hand when you activated it. Now, it’s 4-cost, 7-power, and you only have to discard one card.
• Widow’s Kiss (White Widow): Widow’s Kiss used to have 0 power with an Ongoing ability that made it -3 power unless your side of the location was full. Now, it’s sitting at -4 power, and instead of just disabling the ability, it’ll get destroyed when your side of the location is full.
• Viper: Viper used to be a 3-cost, 5-power card that would let you switch one of your other cards with the lowest power to the opponent’s side. Now, it’s dropped to 3-cost and 4-power.
• Kingpin, Scream, and Fisk Tower: They used to affect unrevealed cards, but now that’s no longer the case.
• Scream: Scream used to be a 2-cost, 2-power card that stole two power from an enemy card whenever it moved, but now it’s a 2-cost, 3-power card.
• Grand Master: Grand Master used to be a 2-power card, which is now a 3-power card of the same cost.
• Emperor Hulkling: Emperor Hulking is increased in power by one and is now an 11-power card.
• Okoye: Just like Grand Master and Emperor Hulking, Okoye’s power is increased to three from two.
