Marvel Snap patch notes: June 13 OTA update

Professor X and Hela have been wreaking havoc on the ladder for quite some time, and both have undergone some meaningful changes that may really shake things up.

Professor X gets one buff in power, but has had his text changed: “Moving is the only way to add or remove a card from here.” This is a huge difference, along with the buff in power, which prevents him from being played out early by Ravonna Renslayer. Along with a one-power nerf to his buddy Cannonball, Xavier should be seen a bit less now.

Hela will still resurrect discarded cards, but they’ll now spawn in with negative-two power. This isn’t a huge change but should at least make things a bit more competitive.

The other tweaks include minor power increases (Gilgamesh, Captain America, Shanna) and a change to Red Hulk, who will now begin with 10 power and gain three, instead of nine power and gain four.

Black Knight’s Ebony Blade can now have its power reduced, which is a nerf, but Stegron gets plus-one power and will now target the card he moves one location to the right instead of it being random.
