Nuverse has announced a new season of Marvel SNAP called A Blink in Time, with a huge update for fans to look forward to in the coming month.

Available in the season pass, players will be able to obtain Blink. Originally using her power of teleportation to send the X-Men to the moon, she will be using her powers to assist the players in swapping their last card being played with a high-cost card from their deck.
