How Redwing Functions in Marvel Snap
Redwing enters the battlefield as a 3-cost, 4-power card with a unique ability: When first moved, it places a card from your hand at its previous location.
Several strategic considerations emerge with Redwing: Its ability triggers only once per game - rebouncing it with Symbiote Spider-Man or replaying won't reactivate the effect. Additionally, targeting specific cards proves challenging since move decks typically contain smaller cards you'd prefer not to relocate.
While synergies exist with Madame Web or Cloak for newer players, Redwing might enable surprise plays by positioning heavy-hitters like Galactus or The Infinaut unexpectedly.

Resource Investment Recommendation
Currently, Redwing doesn't warrant Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector's Tokens. As a niche card in an underperforming archetype, better value exists saving resources for future meta-defining releases unless developers significantly buff this avian companion.
