In Part 3 of the July 2025 edition of Snap Material, Jesse and Evan preview the upcoming Marvel Snap season: Fantastic Four: First Steps. With the season launching on July 8th, the duo gives listeners an early breakdown of every new card and location being added—each one themed around Marvel’s first family. From synergy-building mechanics to long-overdue reworks, this episode is packed with strategic insights and excitement.
They kick things off with Mr. Fantastic’s new card, followed by detailed impressions of Fantasticar, H.E.R.B.I.E, Mad Thinker, and Mole Man. Jesse and Evan highlight how this season finally delivers on the promise of a playable Fantastic Four deck, praising the synergy between these new cards and existing archetypes. Human Torch and The Thing get thoughtful re-evaluations, with Ben Grimm finally receiving the power and impact fans have long hoped for. Invisible Woman’s double end-of-turn activation also sparks ideas for powerful new combos with cards like Sunspot, Adam Warlock, and Strange Supreme.
Rounding out the discussion, they explore the new locations—Rocket Pad and Reed's Lab—while tossing around creative deck suggestions, shout-outs to past comics, and even a few well-placed pop culture jokes.
