Magic’s next Universes Beyond crossover is bringing the Marvel Universe to the Multiverse. Wizards announced Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes earlier this year, and previews have just started rolling out. From Avengers and Thunderbolts to the Fantastic Four and Galactus himself, this set is already looking packed with iconic characters and big comic-book energy.
Here’s everything we know so far.
The Story: The Coming of Galactus
Wizards teased the set’s narrative by revealing The Coming of Galactus - suggesting that the Silver Age classic storyline may serve as the backbone of the set’s lore. It’s not yet clear how the full story will play out mechanically, but the reveal confirms that cosmic-level stakes are part of the experience.
We also saw Doom Reigns Supreme and Thunderbolts Conspiracy, hinting at political subplots and villain-driven strategies that may unfold alongside the main cosmic threat.
