Magic Reveals 38 Marvel Cards That Actually Have Me Excited

"The company teased 38 new cards on its latest WeeklyMTG show. There's plenty of Legendary Creatures, some neat spells, and lots of really nifty art. There's Captain America, a 3/2 white creature with a shield counter that protects it from one instance of damage. There's Bruce Banner, a 1/1 blue who can transform into the Hulk with an Enrage condition that gives him a +1/+1 counter when damaged and a second attack phase."

"And then there's Doctor Doom, a 3/3 black creature that enters with Doombot tokens, lets players draw a card and take damage at the end of their turn, and is indestructible while an artifact creature or Plan is on the field. Wizards also revealed a notable reprint of Heroic Intervention, with the effect of "Permanents you control gain hexproof and indestructible until end of turn." The set has a Horn of Greed, too, with the perfect Doctor Doom "toot" art."

"While the reprints each have callbacks to some classic Marvel comic book art, my favorite-looking cards so far are the full-art variants of Widow-Making Infiltrator, Dig Through Time, and Elektra, Deadly Assassin. And for all your Saga nerds out there, we have World War Hulk, which ends with doubling a creature's power and toughness and giving it trample, and The Coming of Galactus, which culminates in a 16/16 black Elder Alien with flying, trample, and "Whenever Galactus attacks, destroy target land.""

Marvel Super Heroes set for Magic: The Gathering arrives next June and includes 38 teased cards. The set contains Legendary Creatures, spells, and full-art variants. Captain America is a 3/2 white creature with a shield counter that prevents one instance of damage. Bruce Banner is a 1/1 blue who can transform into the Hulk via an Enrage that grants a +1/+1 counter when damaged and a second attack phase. Doctor Doom is a 3/3 black creature that creates Doombot tokens, lets players draw and take damage at end step, and becomes indestructible while an artifact creature or Plan is present. The set reprints Heroic Intervention and includes Sagas like World War Hulk and The Coming of Galactus.
