In an exciting fusion of fandoms, Wizards of the Coast has announced a dynamic collaboration with Marvel Entertainment: “Marvel Legends Teams Up with Magic: The Gathering X Marvel’s Spider-Man.” This bold crossover introduces iconic Spider-Verse characters into the world of Magic: The Gathering (MTG), accompanied by collectible Marvel Legends action figures bundled with exclusive MTG promo cards.
A Legendary Team-Up: Spider-man x Magic
Scheduled for official release on September 26, 2025, the Marvel’s Spider-Man set marks a significant entry in MTG’s Universes Beyond product line. This thematic set celebrates the rich tapestry of Spider-Man’s multiverse — featuring legendary web-slingers like Peter Parker, Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy, and others — now reimagined as Planeswalkers, creatures, and spells within MTG’s iconic gameplay system.
This physical-only set will not be released digitally on MTG Arena or Magic Online, underlining its status as a true collector’s and tabletop player’s delight. However, elements of the set may be revisited in digital formats through “Through the Omenpaths,” set to launch on September 23, 2025.
Action Figures with Playable Cards
Coinciding with the MTG release is the debut of Marvel Legends action figures, each packaged with a full-art premium MTG promo card. These figures are expected to hit shelves by October 1, 2025, at a retail price of $39.99 USD. Each figure/card bundle serves as a bridge between action figure collectors and Magic enthusiasts.
Confirmed character bundles include:
- Spectacular Spider‑Man (Battle-Damaged)
- Anti-Venom, Horrifying Healer
- Iron Spider, Stark Upgrade
Additionally, the promo card Man-Wolf (Huntmaster of the Fells) will be exclusive to the action figure set and not found in regular booster packs.
Each promo features alternate art and foiling that matches the Marvel Legends visual style. While not tournament staples, these cards are mechanically legal in Commander, Legacy, and Vintage formats, offering collectible value and functional gameplay.
Set Scope & Playability
- Standard‑legal set code: SPM
- Eternal‑legal variants: SPE and MAR for formats like Commander, Legacy, and Vintage
- Product lineup includes:
- Play Boosters — $6.99 (draft/sealed compatible, mixing SPM and MAR cards)
- Collector Boosters — $37.99 (alternate art, foil rares, web-slinger and iconic treatments)
- Bundles — $69.99 (includes arena of land cards, promo card, booster packs, storage box)

Welcome Decks & Introducing New Players
To welcome new players, five themed Welcome Decks—one for each color—are available from local WPN stores. Each box contains two 30-card decks: one fixed color, another random. These decks include spiderweb lands and SPE‑code cards (not Standard-legal) that offer players a simplified introduction and a glimpse of collector content.
Preorders and Availability
Pre-orders are already live through Amazon and local game stores (WPN retailers). Demand is high, especially for the Marvel Legends bundles, which are being treated as limited collectibles.
