Marvel Snap: Collector’s Reserves Explained
It is first important to establish that there arefour different typesofCollector’s Reserves inMarvel Snap: those that awardcards, those that awardcosmetics, those that awardcurrency, and those that awardCollector’s Tokens. Furthermore, every set of four Collector’s Reserves that a player opens will be composed of one of each of those types. This means that players will obtain one new card, one new cosmetic, some currency, and some Collector’s Tokensevery 48 Collection Levels.

Additionally, players can have some more specific expectations about what they will pull from each type of Collector’s Reserve, as there is math behind them. To start with the card-awarding Collector’s Reserves,nine out of 10that are opened will grant a card fromMarvel Snap’s Pool 3andone out of 10will grant a card from Pool 4. As such, players can expect to receive nine Pool 3 cards and one Pool 4 for every 40 Collector’s Reserves that they open.
That said, there is a caveat to this expectation, and it is created by the ultra-rare Pool 5 cards. More specifically, there is anapproximately 1% chancethat a Collector’s Reserve that would award a Pool 3 card will instead award a Pool 5 card. This means that players should expect to earn onePool 5 card inMarvel Snapfor every ~440 Collector’s Reserves that they open.
One final thing to mention is that Collector’s Reserves that award Pool 3 cards begin awarding400 Collector’s Tokenseach once a player has earned every card from that set. This will make it much easier to accumulate enough currency to buy Pool 4 and 5 cards fromMarvel Snap’s Token Shop, and the aforementioned ~1% chance to open a Pool 5 card remains.
With details on card-awarding Collector’s Reserves thoroughly established, some information on the other three types may be pertinent.
