Well now, let me tell ya somethin’ about these here Marvel Snap Variants. You know, them fancy pictures on the cards? Yep, that’s what they are. Ain’t nothin’ complicated about it.

What are these Marvel Snap Variants, you ask?

They’re just like, well, skins for your cards. Makes ‘em look different, purdy-like. Don’t make the cards any stronger or nothin’, just changes the picture. Like puttin’ lipstick on a pig, only prettier, I reckon. Some folks, they just love collectin’ these things. Got drawers full of ‘em, I bet.

• They’re just pictures, see?
• Don’t make your cards win more.
• Just for looks, that’s all.

Now, where do you get these Variants? Most times, you can buy ‘em right there in the game shop. Ain’t too expensive, they say. Gold’s easy to come by, or so I hear. Never played this game myself, too busy with the chickens and such, but my grandson, he’s always talkin’ about it. He says there’s a whole bunch of ‘em, hundreds, maybe even thousands! Can you believe that? All them different pictures…

How many Variants are there?

They say there’s over 376 different kinds. That’s a lot of pictures, I tell ya. More than I got pictures of my own kin! They got all sorts, too. Different colors, different poses, all kinds of fancy stuff. Some of ‘em are real rare, like them shiny pennies you find sometimes. Those are the ones folks really want, I guess. Makes ‘em feel special, like they got somethin’ nobody else does.

My grandson, he told me about some of the rarest ones. Said there are Series 4 and 5 cards. Absorbin’ Man, Shuri, Thanos, She-Hulk… Sounds like a bunch of hogwash to me, but he says they’re real hard to get. Like findin’ a four-leaf clover in the middle of winter. You gotta open these Collector Reserves things, and the chances of gettin’ one of them rare cards ain’t too good.

How do you find the Variants you want?

Well, you go to your collection, see? Find the card you want, like that big green fella, Hulk, my grandson likes him. Then you press on somethin’ called the artist button. Don’t ask me why, sounds silly to me. And then you see a menu, a whole list of different pictures for that Hulk fella. And if you see one you like but don’t have, you can put it on a wish list, like a Christmas list, I reckon. Then you just gotta hope you get lucky and find it.

Are Variants worth it?

Well, that depends on you, I guess. If you like pretty pictures and collectin’ things, then maybe they are. But if you just wanna play the game and win, then maybe not so much. They don’t help you win, like I said. Just makes your cards look fancy. It’s like puttin’ ribbons in your hair, makes you look nice, but don’t make you any smarter.

So that’s the lowdown on these Marvel Snap Variants. Nothin’ too complicated, just pretty pictures for your cards. If you like ‘em, get ‘em. If you don’t, don’t. Simple as that. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed them chickens. They’re squawkin’ up a storm out there.

Final words, this game and all its shiny pictures ain’t for me, but if it makes folks happy, then I reckon it’s alright. Just don’t go spendin’ all your money on them, ya hear? Gotta save some for a rainy day. And for chicken feed. Chickens gotta eat, you know.
