Wizards of the Coast has a monumental shift in power coming to Magic: The Gathering Arena, as they'll soon be adding Marvel Super Heroes to the mix. As you might suspect, the game will be getting several Marvel-specific cards, featuring characters and settings from the comic book universe, all of which you can add to your account and improve your decks with. Some of these come from the Spider-Man set that was released last year, while others are cards that have been announced for the upcoming Marvel crossover expansion on the way, but all of them are here to make the game a little more interesting. Especially if you're a fan of the comics, as that's where most of these are based, nothing MCU related it seems. We have some of the notes here, and the complete rundown can be found on their website, as the cards arrive on June 23.
