Exciting Spider-Man Crossover Set Coming to Magic: The Gathering

Last year, Magic: The Gathering introduced a Marvel-themed card set featuring A-list heroes like Black Panther, Wolverine, and Captain America. However, the iconic Spider-Man was conspicuously absent, as he is set to star in his very own exclusive set.

During the recent New York Toy Fair, Wizards of the Coast revealed an enticing preview of six cards from the upcoming Spider-Man crossover set. Alongside the beloved Peter Parker, fans can expect three classic villains: Venom, Green Goblin, and Doctor Octopus. Each character will come with unique cards that reflect their abilities, showcasing Goblin’s pumpkin bombs and Ock’s formidable tentacles. As “Legendary Creatures,” Spider-Man and his foes have different in-game abilities, such as Peter’s ability to remove up to three stun counters and Venom’s capability to exile a target creature card from a graveyard. Ock’s tentacles allow players to take control of an artifact card from an enemy’s graveyard. And that’s just the beginning! Other cards are expected to feature additional villains and fellow Spider-heroes, including Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, and possibly Miguel O’Hara, who is featured on the cover of a welcome pack.

Why Spider-Man Deserves His Own Card Set

Wizards’ executive producer, Max McCall, explained to IGN that the decision to create a dedicated Spider-Man set was made to ensure that the character and his vast rogues’ gallery received the attention they deserve. McCall noted, “Picking characters from the Spider-Man canon as part of a wider set would leave far too many characters on the cutting room floor. We could probably have found room for Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales in a non-Spider-Man specific set, but there wouldn’t have been room for Aunt May.”
