The Marvel Universe has arrived in Magic: The Gathering in full force! And at Chaos Cards, we love it when worlds collide, so we couldn’t wait to check out the new Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes release and discover what's in store for us.

In the past, Magic: The Gathering has been a game firmly rooted in epic, fantasy. It has enthralled players for decades with it’s intricate world building, deep lore and strategic gameplay. In recent years however, releases such as Universes Beyond has allowed us to explore Magic gameplay in different worlds, and bought in characters and realms from outside the initial Magic the Gathering universe.

We’ve already visited the high fantasy of Middle-earth and the grim, dark futures of Warhammer 40,000, now, get ready for Magic’s latest heroic crossover, where iconic comic book action comes to life on the battlefield.
