When does Draft run next?

Our Draft page uses datamined schedule data. The pill at the top of the page shows the current or next window with exact queue-open and queue-close times, plus how long the Event Shop stays open after the queue closes.

Do I bring my own deck to Draft?

No. You choose a Starter Set and build your deck from the cards offered during the run.

What are Augments in Draft?

Augments add abilities to individual cards and stay with them for the rest of the run. They can arrive on drafted cards or come from encounters between matches.

Are Augments Upgrades?

Yes. Augments are the Upgrades that add an ability or effect to a card. We list them on their own page because they look different on the card. The Upgrades page covers the rest, which change Cost or Power.

Does every Draft event use the same rules?

The pick sequence, available cards and upgrades, and rewards can change. Use the card and upgrade pages to browse the data, and check the in-game event for its rules.

Does every run have an Event Pass?

No. Longer runs of a week or more usually come with an Event Pass and an Event Shop. Short weekend runs of a few days usually offer only a free reward track of cosmetics, with no Event Pass. The tables on this page show what a run includes.

Marvel Snap Draft Guide

Draft is Marvel Snap's deck-building Limited Time Game Mode. Instead of bringing a finished deck, you choose a Starter Set and draft cards to build around it. You play that deck across a run, adding cards and upgrades between matches. SnapComplete tracks every run. 1 Draft event has run since the mode launched. 2.4M games tracked in 15 days last run across 22K synced collections.

How Draft Works

Choose a Starter Set, then add cards from the options offered. Your Starter Set and later picks influence what you can be offered next. Cards have Draft rarities, and some offers depend on the archetypes you have drafted.

You make several picks before your first match and continue drafting between games. The event's rules determine which steps add cards and which offer upgrades.

Draft cards can support an archetype as Enablers, Payoffs, or both. Enablers set up an interaction; Payoffs reward it. Each pick adds archetype weight to the other side: an Enabler adds Payoff weight and a Payoff adds Enabler weight. Every later offer is scored by those weights, so the Payoffs you take pull in their Enablers and the reverse, and some upgrades require a particular weight total.

General weight: Many normal card picks also grant General +2. This raises the score of every eligible General-tagged offer, regardless of your Starter Set or archetype weights. An offer can have both General and archetype tags and receive both bonuses. General counts in Total Weight when viewing all weights or General; other archetype totals exclude it. General Enabler is a separate upgrade counter.

Augments attach an ability to a card for the rest of the run. You can draft cards that already carry an Augment or gain one through an encounter between matches.

Upgrades change a card for the rest of the run. Augments are the Upgrades that add an ability or effect; the others change Cost or Power. An encounter lets you choose which eligible card receives the Upgrade.

Browse the Draft cards for their rarities and archetype details, and the Augments and Upgrades pages for their effects and active status.

Keep playing until you reach the event's win or loss limit. Match payouts and run rewards follow the event's rules. Check the in-game event for the current limits, entry requirements, and reward amounts.
