Magic: The Gathering® | Marvel Super Heroes Comes to MTG Arena
magic.wizards.com
The Avengers, Fantastic Four, and more are coming to MTG Arena! Prepare for the Marvel Universe to debut in digital Magic.

Looks like they’ve also worked out the rights with Spider-Man since that set will be retroactively added to Arena with all Through the Omenpaths cards becoming the equivalent version of the Spider-Man cards and the Omenpaths art remaining as styles for that card

Through the Omenpaths was a little strange and definitely confusing, but I’m also a little disappointed that we won’t have in-universe versions of all the UB cards.

    Unless they’re adding locations and limiting the game to 6 turns (usually), I’m not really interested.

    I’m sure there’s a lot of people out there excited for Marvel stuff in MTG. Good for them I guess. Personally, I’m more interested in WOTC focusing on creating new, interesting stories and planes, but that ship sailed a long time ago sadly. I guess eventually the in-game universe will collect dust next to battles, world enchantments, fortifications, and a low power standard format.

      If WoTC want to bring in new players, great. But when they’re doing so many things that make learning MtG harder (EDH and its massive cardpool as the main way magic is played, uncapped numbers of new cards released, Omenpaths increasing challenge of recognising a card if you play Arena & cardboard) it seems less convincing that’s their motivation.

      Retention rates of players introduced by a UB product has to be a fraction of that compared to existing players.

    I haven’t played in over a year because my game wasn’t working. I have a new computer. I am interested in downloading again because of Marvel. What will I get if my previous account is found and what will I get with a new account from Marvel set?

      I know when they made the new starter decks for foundations, I think I recieved them? was a while ago, feels like more than a year ago. previous account will probably be better since youd have your existing cards rather than starting fresh since I dont think they give new players much?
