Wizards of the Coast dropped a bombshell announcement this morning as the world of Marvel is coming to Magic: The Gathering. Hasbro and Marvel have come together for a new partnership that will see the company develop and release several new card sets as part of their Universes Beyond line of cards, the same line that is bringing you sets from The Lord Of The Rings, Doctor Who, Jurassic Park, and Fallout. According to this morning's brief announcement, the first "tentpole Magic set" will be based on several of Marvel's fan-favorite characters and epic stories, set to be released globally in 2025. After that, they will be releasing additional sets for multi-generational fans, which we assume will tie into both the comics and the MCU. The possibilities for this set are endless as there is so much room to work with in Marvel's extensive library using MTG's mechanics. We have a couple of quotes and a teaser trailer from today's announcement for you below.

Hasbro will continue to bring new ways for consumers to express their Marvel fandom through Magic: The Gathering's collection of Universes Beyond crossover products. "We are extremely proud to collaborate with Marvel to bring its iconic characters to fans around the world in new ways," said Cynthia Williams, President for Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro Gaming. "These tentpole sets will build on the tradition of incorporating beloved fan-favorite characters and elements from world-class brands into Magic: The Gathering."

"Trading cards have always been a part of Marvel's DNA, so this collaboration takes that experience to a whole new level," said Dan Buckley, President of Marvel Comics and Franchise. "With the depth that our storytelling and characters bring to the table, we can't wait for fans to see how the Marvel Universe translates seamlessly into gameplay within these Magic: The Gathering products and sets for years to come."
