Earth’s Mightiest Heroes are coming to Magic, and this is your opportunity to play with the cards early! Super-Soldiers? We’ve got them. Super-speedy mutants? Quicksilver is so fast that he starts the game in play. Gamma-infused scientists? The Hulk is bursting into Magic, complete with a new creature type. If there’s a Marvel character you love, there’s a good chance you can find them in this set.
But it’s not all heroes. The dastardly dealers of devilry and destruction also make their Magic the Gathering debut from the world of Marvel! Such as Doctor Doom!
*Supply of Magic’s prerelease kits may be supplemented by Magic’s official suggestion of 6 Play Boosters when necessary.*

What is Magic the Gathering?
Magic is a collectible trading card game of fun-filled, strategic games to play with friends old and new. Welcoming worldbuilders, narrative lovers, and gameplay enthusiasts alike, Magic has something for everyone and countless ways to play. Gathering together is half the fun! Bring along your crew or meet up with some new faces! A Multiverse of adventures awaits you, filled with powerful, unforgettable characters and spells to explore. Test your abilities to think fast and have fun on a battlefield of possibilities! Try new strategies with creative deckbuilding or push your skills to go for the win.
Each of the five colors in Magic represent a different philosophy and a different playstyle. Choose your color(s) to decide which type of land you’ll be drawing resources (mana) from and what type of Magic you’ll wield. Magic the Gathering has several starter products to choose from, including Jumpstart Packs, Beginner Bundles, and more! If you don’t want to learn on your own, check out our Learn to Play: Magic the Gathering events at Gnome Games, hosted every Monday from 6 PM to close!
