TheGamer • • entertainment
Key Points:
- The first Magic: The Gathering Universes Beyond set for 2027 will be Marvel: Darkhold Destiny, featuring a brand-new character and storyline created specifically for this MTG adaptation rather than established Marvel teams like the X-Men or Young Avengers.
- The set, releasing on April 9, 2027, is inspired by the "dark side of the Marvel Universe" with themes of vampires, devils, witches, and werewolves, drawing strong parallels to Magic's Innistrad setting and Marvel's Darkhold, a mystical tome akin to the Necronomicon.
- While focusing on new characters, the set teases appearances by familiar Marvel figures such as Blade, Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, Agatha Harkness, Magik, and Hela, suggesting a mix of new and known elements.
- Product offerings will include multiple Commander Decks and Scene Boxes, alongside expected regular and collector boosters, though the full product lineup remains unconfirmed.
- Around 20 cards were revealed at New York Comic Con, showcasing characters like Hela, Gargantos, Magik, and Darkchild, Magik’s demonic alter ego, providing an early glimpse into the set’s content.
