Overview
Wizards of the Coast showcased 38 cards from the upcoming Magic: The Gathering Universes Beyond: Marvel Super Heroes expansion during the latest WeeklyMTG presentation. This set integrates Marvel characters into the trading card game, arriving in June 2026, coinciding with major Marvel film releases like Avengers and Doomsday.
Key Card Highlights
Several legendary creatures stand out. Captain America is a 3/2 white creature equipped with a shield counter that prevents one instance of damage. Bruce Banner appears as a 1/1 blue creature capable of transforming into the Hulk via an Enrage trigger, gaining a +1/+1 counter and an additional combat phase when damaged. Doctor Doom is a 3/3 black creature that enters the battlefield with Doombot tokens, allows drawing a card at the end of the turn while dealing damage, and becomes indestructible if an artifact creature or planeswalker is present.
Reprints include Heroic Intervention, granting hexproof and indestructible to permanents until end of turn, and Horn of Greed featuring artwork with Doctor Doom. Full-art variants highlight Widow-Making Infiltrator, Dig Through Time, and Elektra, Deadly Assassin.
Saga Cards
For saga enthusiasts, World War Hulk progresses to double a creature's power and toughness while adding trample. The Coming of Galactus concludes by creating a 16/16 black Elder Alien token with flying, trample, and an ability to destroy a target land whenever it attacks.
This reveal builds on the set's initial announcement earlier in the year, offering a mix of new mechanics and nostalgic Marvel comic references through its artwork and effects.
