Magic: The Gathering Reveals Marvel's Spider-Man Secret Drop Sets
The Magic: The Gathering | Marvel's Spider-Man set will be getting multiple Secret Lair drops, which will all go up in two weeks
Article Summary
- Magic: The Gathering and Marvel team up for Spider-Man Secret Lair Superdrop sets this September.
- Unique Daily Bugle, Venom-themed, and heroic vs. villainous drops offer exclusive card treatments.
- Marvel artists including Mark Bagley, Todd Nauck, and others showcase new card art in every set.
- Limited quantities and collectible features like raised foil Venom lands make these sets highly sought-after.
Wizards of the Coast has dropped new details about all of the Secret Lair sets coming to the Magic: The Gathering | Marvel's Spider-Man set. Some of these have already been revealed, as the team revealed the Daily Bugle set of cards that have been designed to look like covers of the fictional NYC paper owned by J. Jonah Jameson. The rest of these sets, which we have for you to check out below, all have various themes going for them that will make them all collectible in their own right.
Our favorite of the bunch has to be the Mana Symbiote set of lands, all of which have a Venom theme to them; however, all five cards use a raised black ink (which we got to see for ourselves at PAX West) that is designed to feel like Venom is a part of the card. That's an amazing touch to make the set feel extra. All of these will drop on the website on September 22, 2025, and we hope that WotC is prepared for the site to crash at zero hour after the previous popularity of the Marvel sets from NYCC 2024.
