Conquest Mode
A new game mode is coming to MARVEL SNAP this month: Conquest. Conquest takes the framework of the Friendly Battle Mode - each player starts with 10 Health and play a series of games until one of them has 0 - and builds it into a month-long league where players can test their skills and try to climb to higher Leagues.
There are four levels: Proving Grounds, Silver, Gold, and Infinity. Proving Grounds is always free to enter, while to enter the other Leagues costs either Gold or Tickets that can be earned from winning matches in the League below. Infinity Conquest will unlock near the end of the season, giving players all month to stock up on tickets to the show. Winning in Conquest mode earns players Medals, which can be spent in the Conquest shop on Tickets, Mystery Variants, Boosters, Titles, Gold, and more.
We'll have an article that goes more in depth on the mode when it gets closer to release.

Comments
Is Ghost-Spider useful ? (=worth the season pass purchase?)
Regis believes she could have some good utility: her use in a Move deck is obvious, but maybe you can use her to be a sneaky 2-drop. Like if you want to move your Devil Dinosaur away from an upcoming Shang-Chi, or maybe move your Wong out of Cosmo's influence, etc. etc. She could be clunky sometimes because there will be moments you don't want to move stuff, but she could be like Jeff in-that you just slot her in anyway for the positive outcomes. There's also an idea of using a package of cards like Ghost-Spider + Spider-Man 2099 inside of another main deck.
All-in-all, it's possible she becomes a staple like Jeff, Lizard, or Luke Cage where you could see her in various homes for various reasons, not just as a Move-enabler. Ghost-Spider isn't seemingly Spider-Ham-levels of busted, but could be a perfectly fine card.
