Wizards of the Coast is giving fans a first look at six of the new cards coming with Magic: the Gathering's upcoming Spider-Man "Universes Beyond" set, releasing later this year. The massively popular trading card game has experimented multiple times throughout the years with bringing different popular media franchises into the game. Magic has featured crossover sets and cards based on everything from video games like Fallout and Assassin's Creed to pop culture staples like Doctor Who. However, 2025 is set to bring about a major change to Magic's crossover cards.
Magic: the Gathering officially revealed a major change to how the developer will handle its "Universes Beyond" sets late last year, confirming they would be Standard-legal for the first time. The change is set to begin this summer with the release of the highly-anticipated Final Fantasy expansion and will continue to future sets as well. Magic: the Gathering had previously limited its crossover content to formats like "Modern" and the fan-favorite "Commander" format. Now, another massively-hyped "Universes Beyond" expansion is seeing its first reveals.
Magic: The Gathering's 2025 release schedule and legality were shifted, and the remaining in-universe sets may undergo a controversial change....
