Marvel is coming to Magic: The Gathering , thanks to a new multi-year deal 
between Marvel and Hasbro. 

Multiple collectible products and sets are on the way, and the first tentpole 
set, based on Marvels fan-favorite characters and epic stories, is set to 
launch globally at some point in 2025. You can check out the trailer below. 

We are extremely proud to collaborate with Marvel to bring its iconic 
characters to fans around the world in new ways, the president of Wizards of 
the Coast and Hasbro Digital Gaming, Cynthia Williams, said. These tentpole 
sets will build on the tradition of incorporating beloved fan-favorite 
characters and elements from world-class brands into Magic: The Gathering . 

Dan Buckley, the president of Marvel Comics and Franchise, pointed out that 
trading cards have always been a part of Marvels DNA, but that this crossover 
takes that experience to a whole new level. He continued: With the depth that 
our storytelling and characters bring to the table, we cant wait for fans to 
see how the Marvel Universe translates seamlessly into gameplay within these 
Magic: The Gathering products and sets for years to come. 

This news comes shortly after pre-orders for Magic: The Gathering s Fallout 
set went live . Four Commander decks (named Scrappy Survivors, Science!, 
Hail, Caesar , and Mutant Menace ) will be available from March 8, 2024. 
These will feature iconic characters such as Mothman, Caesar, Dr. Madison 
Lee, and everyones favorite good boy, Dogmeat. 

Earlier this year, Magic: The Gathering s Lord of the Rings set, Tales of 
Middle-earth , was released, which contained a one-of-a-kind One Ring card. 
After the card was found, it was sold to American musician Post Malone for $2 
million (around 1.6 million).
