Magic: The Gathering's Marvel Crossover Details Revealed, Will Feature Black Panther, Storm, Iron Man, and More
Wizards of the Coast previously announced that it was working with Marvel for Magic: The Gathering back in 2023, but at New York Comic Con, the company finally revealed the first step of that partnership. Wizards of the Coast will release five Secret Lair drops, each themed around an individual character, starting November 4, 2024.
Each Secret Lair Drop will feature an original Legendary creature based on one of five Marvel characters: Black Panther, Storm, Iron Man, Wolverine, and Captain America. Each of these creatures' abilities are themed around the character. For instance, Iron Man will both create Treasure tokens, then let you sacrifice an artifact to tutor up any artifact, based on the sacrificed card's mana value – an extremely powerful effect.
The Secret Lair Drops will also include four reprints themed around the starring character. The price is $39.99 for non-foil cards and $49.99 for foil cards. Here are the official descriptions for each.
Secret Lair x Marvel’s Captain America
Secret Lair x Marvel’s Iron Man
Secret Lair x Marvel’s Wolverine
Secret Lair x Marvel’s Storm
Secret Lair x Marvel’s Black Panther

Elsewhere, Wizards of the Coast announced a Tentpole Booster set based on Spider-Man. Wizards of the Coast hasn't revealed any of the cards, and isn't discussing format legality, but compares it to the Lord of the Rings set that launched in June 2023. That set was the first Universes Beyond set to be legal in the competitive Modern format, but it remains to be seen if Marvel's Spider-Man will follow suit.
The full Marvel's Spider-Man Magic: The Gathering set will launch sometime in 2025. It remains to be seen whether or not it will be accompanied by prebuilt Commander decks.
