Marvel fans who also enjoy Magic: The Gathering are getting a treat this year with the new MTG Spider-Man set. This latest collab in the Universes Beyond collection features characters from Marvel’s Spider-Man. This set marks the first in a planned series of Marvel-themed MTG cards, and it’s swinging into stores on September 26th. Today, Wizards of the Coast shared a first look at some of the cards coming with the Magic: The Gathering Marvel’s Spider-Man set, along with preorder details and bonuses.
The Marvel’s Spider-Man expansion for Magic: The Gathering features artwork based on the webslinger, allies, and foes as depicted in Marvel comics. Some of the cards previewed today include Venom, Deadly Devourer, Green Goblin, Nemesis, and Doc Ock, Evil Inventory – all familiar fare for Spider-Man fans who know him through the comics or from Tobey Maguire’s portrayal. We also get a look at some of Green Goblin’s Pumpkin Bombs, Doc Ock’s Grasping Tentacles, and of course, the Sensational Spider-man himself.
Each of the cards in the preview is a borderless full-art depiction of the classic comic characters and their tools of the trade. Spidey and his foes are Legendary Creatures, whereas the Pumpkin Bombs are Artifacts and Ock’s tentacles are classed as a Sorcery card. Fans might notice that the typical Universes Beyond frame is missing from these card previews. As shared in their announcement about preorders for the MTG Spider-Man set, Wizards is standardizing all MTG frames to match the standard Magic: The Gathering style. More details about this change, as well as the cards in the Marvel’s Spider-Man set, will be headed our way in the coming months ahead of the full release.
