We've got a new featured location in MARVEL SNAP and it's Vormir!
Vormir is a completely new location being added to MARVEL SNAP as part of the December Season: The Power Cosmic. The first card you play there each game is destroyed.
This isn't a location that's going to require too much adjustment, since its effect only triggers the first time you play a card there. Afterwards, it's effectively a Ruins - no rules, just right.
But until you play a card there, you have to take into consideration that you have to make a sacrifice, and the best first card to play to Vormir is one that benefits you when it's destroyed. Bucky Barnes and Deadpool are all upside being played to Vormir; or you can get rid of a weaker body like The Hood. If you don't like the sound of sacrifice, you can play either Armor or Colossus to Vormir.
However you choose to plan for the new location, you'd better get used to it; being a featured location means that Vormir will have a 40% chance to appear for 48 hours, from 7 PM PT Tuesday night to 7 PM PT Thursday night (2 AM UTC Wednesday to 2 AM UTC Friday).
On Reveal: Add a Demon to your hand. 
What Are Featured Locations in MARVEL SNAP?
There are two different types of location events in MARVEL SNAP.
- Sunday's Hot Location that has a 60% chance to appear for the next 24 hours.
- Wednesday's Featured Location that has a 40% chance to appear 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. 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 Vormir.

Vomir seems bugged. Playing Hobogoblin counts as a card played by your opponent
I don't think this is a bug, just a weird interaction based on what it means when a location says "played." Locations that have "play" triggers don't check for it until after an On Reveal effect goes off. Because Hobgoblin's On Reveal gives your opponent control of him, when Vormir checks to see if a card has been played there, he's under your opponent's control, and therefore, your opponent's card.
Yeah i wish i had hood, though electro and bucky barnes are also decent sacrifices, also deadpool
