We've got a new featured location in Marvel Snap and it's Project Pegasus!
Project Pegasus is a completely new location being added to Marvel Snap as part of the August Season: Heroes for Hire. Project Pegasus gives both players +5 Energy the turn it is revealed.
This could create some very swingy early turns, enabling a 6 cost card to be played on turn 1, or multiple 4 cost cards on turn 3. It's probably going to be most appealing to play a lot of high-cost cards in your deck. Cards like Doctor Doom or Ultron that can get a huge tempo boost especially if they're played early. With both players having access to this type of swing, the best card to run might just be Leader, as he now has multiple opportunities per game to be played and profit from your opponent's greed.
Bonus Easter Egg: "Project Pegasus" was the internal codename for Hearthstone while Ben Brode was working on it (Source).
However you choose to plan for the new location, you'd better get used to it; being a featured location means that Project Pegasus will show up 40% more frequently for 48 hours, from 8 PM PT Tuesday night to 8 PM PT Thursday night.
On Reveal: Add a 4-Power Doombot to each other location.
On Reveal: Copy the enemy card(s) with the highest Power played this turn, but on your side.
What Are Featured Locations in Marvel Snap?
There are two different types of location events in Marvel Snap.
- Sunday's hot location that appears 60% more frequently for the next 24 hours.
- Wednesday's featured location that appears 40% more frequently for the next 48 hours.
This helps pave way for new deckbuilding strategies as you may want to be playing something else should the bonus better benefit cards you aren't playing with. For example, we've seen this previously with the featured location, Monster Island, whose boosted appearances meant many players ran Shang-Chi to destroy the 9 Power Monster.
As announced in the developer livestream, Marvel Snap will be getting a brand new location every week and it will be featured when it is added, as we're seeing now with Project Pegasus.

Honestly Ultron seems like a bad suggestion as it locks you out of the game for 2 locations. Leader is very good though. I play it now in combination with my Mr. Negative deck. The earlier you can drop him the better
You're right about Ultron not being a good card for this location. However, it got me thinking and I do kinda wonder if he could work in a Patriot deck - at least as long as PP is featured.
Yes that combination I thought about, but I believe you put all your eggs in one basket and as your opponent would only need to be ahead on two locations I don't see this as a great combo (also didn't see it anywhere being played)
