Marvel meets Magic – What to expect in the set
The Magic Marvel Set is part of a long-term collaboration between Wizards of the Coast and Marvel. The goal is to transfer the iconic characters, powers, and storylines from the comics into Magic gameplay.
At the center is a great threat that runs through the entire set: The Coming of Galactus. Fans can look forward to an epic scenario that will also be reflected in the gameplay.
These Marvel heroes are included
The set brings many familiar faces into play. Among them:
- Captain America
- The Incredible Hulk as a transformation of Bruce Banner
- Namor
- The Sentry
- Quicksilver with a unique gameplay mechanic
- The Fantastic Four with their own Commander focus
Particularly exciting is the implementation of character abilities. Hulk, for example, brings a transformation mechanic, while Quicksilver can directly intervene in the game.
The villains are also on board
Of course, the villains must not be missing either. Confirmed characters include:
- Doctor Doom as the central figure
- Baron Helmut Zemo
- Super-Skrull
This mix of heroes and villains creates exciting decks and thematic duels.
