Marvel Builds Up Its Mana With ‘Magic: The Gathering’ Variant Covers

Back in 2025 (remember then?), Marvel teamed up with Magic: The Gathering to produce a pretty fun line of cards focusing on Spider-Man. And now in (Aunt) May, the publisher will release a slew of variant covers based on these cards. But the most important question: can you play the variant covers in your deck?

The answer is “probably not” but also “who cares” based on how serious you feel about Magic rules. As is, there will be so many covers, and they’ll come in both regular and virgin variants — the latter because they know who will be buying comic books that have Magic: The Gathering card covers. Serious burn, there. Zing.

But wait, there’s more! Later this year, the companies will team up again on Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes, with Marvel promising/threatening even more of these covers once that set arrives.

Check out five of the covers, as well as all of the solicit info, below.
