Magic: The Gathering Swings into Action with Marvel’s Spider-Man – Coming September 26
The multiverse is about to get a major upgrade, and this time, it’s wearing red and blue. Wizards of the Coast has officially unveiled the next thrilling instalment in their Universes Beyond series: Magic: The Gathering | Marvel’s Spider-Man. Launching September 26, 2025, this highly anticipated set brings the wall-crawler and his sprawling universe of heroes, villains, and iconic moments directly into the world of Magic.
A Legendary Team-Up: Magic Meets Spider-Man
Marvel’s Spider-Man is one of the most beloved and enduring characters in comic book history, and now, thanks to this unprecedented collaboration, Spidey is swinging into Magic decks everywhere. This crossover celebrates over 60 years of web-slinging adventures, packed with familiar faces, pulse-pounding action, and cards that capture the heart and humour of Peter Parker’s world.
Whether you’re a die-hard comic book fan, a veteran Planeswalker, or both, Magic: The Gathering | Marvel’s Spider-Man offers a nostalgic and innovative experience. For the first time, fans will be able to collect, trade, and play with legendary characters like Mary Jane Watson, Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, and Venom — all reimagined in the strategic, lore-rich format that has defined Magic for decades.
More Than Just a Hero: A Deep Dive Into the Set
The Spider-Man set introduces brand-new mechanics and stunning treatments that make it feel as though the comic pages have leapt right into your deck. Cards will feature unique frames such as Web-Slinger, Borderless Panel, Iconic Covers, and full art Scene cards that piece together to tell key stories from Spider-Man’s storied history. These visual elements not only elevate gameplay but also serve as collectible art pieces for fans of both franchises.
For players who want to get a head start, Prerelease Packs will be available at local game stores before the official launch. And if you’re completely new to Magic, participating Wizards Play Network (WPN) stores will offer free Welcome Decks and tutorial sessions, giving everyone a chance to swing into the action.
If you’re looking for action and collectability, the Collector Boosters are packed with all the dazzling variants and premium cards, including foil treatments and exclusive artwork. Play Boosters, meanwhile, are the perfect entry point for building a themed deck centred around your favourite heroes or villains. The Scene Box will be a standout for collectors, including six Borderless Scene cards that combine into one larger visual narrative — a true homage to Spider-Man’s legendary arcs.
First Glimpse at San Diego Comic-Con
This exciting crossover was partially revealed during San Diego Comic-Con 2025, where attendees got an exclusive first look at some of the cards and even had a chance to demo the set in person. The response from both Marvel and Magic fans was electric, with early previews showcasing the attention to detail and love for both universes.
Now, those same cards — and many more — are making their way to stores around the world.
