Magic: The Gathering<\/em> <\/em>players have repeatedly complained that Universes Beyond sets feel too far removed from the game\u2019s fantasy genre and original storytelling. Wizards of the Coast revealed a clever compromise at New York Comic Con: a set based on an original story in the Marvel Universe that was specifically written to fit Magic\u2019s mechanics and vibe.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Darkhold Destiny <\/em>will be a dimension-hopping tale focused on eponymous cursed book and the supervillains who decide to wield it. Releasing in April 2027, the set will include new scene boxes, booster fun treatments, and a tie-in comic written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly (Captain America<\/em>). It will also include four Commander decks spotlighting Marvel\u2019s most famous arcane characters. Here\u2019s everything what we know about the precons so far.<\/p>\n

Didn\u2019t get enough wizarding school in 2026 from Secrets of Strixhaven<\/em> and Reality Fracture\u2019s<\/em> focus on Hexhaven? Head to Strange Academy, which is based on the 2020 comic series by Skottie Young and Humberto Ramos where Doctor Strange and Doctor Voodoo founded a school for young spellcasters in Louisiana. Magic\u2019s only printing of Stephen Strange so far was just a medical doctor, but he\u2019ll be empowered as a commander for this Esper (white-blue-black) deck. Tactically, the deck will focus on blinking creatures, casting spells on creatures, and reusing spells in powerful ways.<\/p>\n

Thor serves as the Commander for this Naya (red-green-white) deck, and he\u2019ll be showing off his might by trying to raise his power as much as possible. The deck is filled with other gods and warriors and focuses on getting into combat every round. It will be relatively simple to play, and the perfect pick for anyone who likes to make a big splash at the table.<\/p>\n

Blade leads Marvel\u2019s edgiest heroes, including Moon Knight and Ghost Rider, as they face against all of the Marvel Universe\u2019s vampires in this Orzhov (white-black) deck. The conflict manifests through both gaining and losing life, with the vampires draining your opponents while Blade becomes more powerful based on how much life you\u2019ve gained.<\/p>\n

\n Lords of Hel

Players who enjoy being the archenemy should pick up this Rakdos (black-red) deck that includes Hela and Dormammu, along with many of Marvel\u2019s demon lords, devils, avatars, and horrors. You\u2019ll build up armies of zombies and Mindless Ones to attack your opponents, though you can also sacrifice your minions for card draw and ping effects.<\/p>\n
