Magic: The Gathering’supcoming Spider-ManUniverses Beyond crossover is fast-approaching, and Wizards of the Coast is starting to reveal the set to us piece by piece. Earlier this week,we saw the first reveal of six cards coming this September, and during a panel at San Diego Comic-Con earlier today, we just got to see a bunch more.
MTG Reveals Even More Spider-Man Universes Beyond Cards At SDCC
We’ll start off with our Spider-Heroes first. Pretty much all of these cards are double-sided, featuring the characters turning into their alter egos on the back. For example, we get multiple versions of Gwen Stacy and Ghost-Spider, Peter Parker and Amazing-Spiderman, and Miles Morales and Ultimate Spider-Man. Interestingly, there are only three Gwen Stacy cards, while Peter and Miles get four each. Forshame Wizards.
We also got a look at some villains that will be included in the set, including classic ones such as Doctor Octopus and Green Goblin, though there is the surprising inclusion of Colonel John Jameson, aka Man-Wolf. We also get some cards depicting the less heroic sides of Spider-Man, including Anti-Venom and Symbiote Spider-Man.
Next up, the characters from the Into the Spider-Verse series got a lot of love during SDCC. We saw a few of them earlier this week, though we got a look at different versions during the panel, including a Spider-Ham that doesn’t look like a nightmare creature that has broken out of my dreams.
We also get to see the addition of Spider-Punk, as well as a few different multiverse flavored cards that will be included. Also, if you combine the borderless art for all of the multiverse cards, including the scene cards for the likes of Miles Morales and Gwen Stacy, you’ll find it turns into a cool little action scene.
Finally, we got a few more miscellaneous cards which still look pretty cool, including a depiction of Spectacular Spider-Man, Spider-Man in the Stark suit, and a very neat panel version of the Origin of Spider-Man which was shown off earlier this week. We also got to see what the set’s Basic Lands will look like, which are just backdrops of New York with a spiderweb pattern on the front denoting which land it is.
That’s all that Magic: The Gathering had to show at this year’s SDCC, but we can almost guarantee that more Spider-Man-themed surprises are around the corner. Personally, I’m hoping we see a few more villains shown off in the near future, and more Spider-Verse representation is fine in my book. There’s plenty of time for Wizards to show things off though, with the Spider-Man crossover releasing on September 26 later this year.
