In this July 2025 episode of Snap Material, Jesse and Evan dive deep into the just-concluded Marvel Snap season, Masters of the Arcane. For once recording before a new season drop, they reflect on the longevity of the arcane season and break down each new card's impact, synergy, and potential in the meta. Merlin takes center stage early, with Evan sharing his success using the card alongside Collector and Aga Moto in his creatively named "Magic with a Kick" deck, while Jesse recounts frequent sightings of incantations like Polymorph.
The duo offers insightful evaluations of various cards—both celebrated and overlooked. Morgan Le Fay and Nicholas Scratch spark debate, with Evan reversing his previous skepticism about Scratch after finding some synergy in skill-heavy decks. Meanwhile, cards like Jennifer Kale and The Ancient One bring potential but seem to have missed broader adoption. Jesse’s delight in the chaos of Nightmare and creative uses of Clea underscore the fun and unpredictability that made this season memorable.
Capping off the episode are discussions of Dormammu’s ambitious summoning mechanic, Kid Omega’s grind-locked value, and new locations like Camelot and Astral Plane. With their trademark banter, storytelling, and strategic musings, Jesse and Evan keep listeners both informed and entertained, priming fans for what’s next in the Marvel Snap universe.
