MTG Marvel Sets: 4 Crossover Predictions for 2027 and Beyond

Magic: The Gathering's Universes Beyond sets with Marvel have been growing in popularity, and fans are eagerly anticipating more crossover releases. After the underwhelming Spider-Man set, the 2026 Marvel Super Heroes set proved to be a significant improvement, and we believe more crossover sets are on the horizon. In particular, we are looking forward to obtaining the remaining four Infinity Stones featured in these sets, as they have been notably absent so far.

One of the most anticipated missing elements from the Marvel Super Heroes set is the presence of the Guardians of the Galaxy. While the set focuses mainly on characters from New York City, it would be exciting to see Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Rocket, and Groot featured in a five-color Commander deck. Additionally, a plethora of other cosmic characters could be included in future sets, such as Beta Ray Bill, Ronan, Gladiator, Nova, Adam Warlock, Nebula, and Galactus.

As Marvel's cinematic universe expands, it is only natural that Magic: The Gathering would want to keep up with the times. Therefore, we predict that X-Men and X-Force characters will be incorporated into future crossover sets. Popular choices include Wolverine and Storm, which could see reprints and possibly new designs. Moreover, cards like Jean Grey's Dark Phoenix form or saga cards for Days of Future Past would be a welcome addition.

Although some X-Men have already appeared in the Marvel Super Heroes set, a broader range of mutants from Xavier's school and Magneto's Brotherhood would bring a fresh perspective to the game. Fans are also hoping for inclusion of characters like Deadpool and Gambit, who have been featured in Secret Lair drops but are not part of the main Marvel set.

In addition to the X-Men, the Midnight Sons would provide a thrilling addition to the magic world. With iconic characters like Blade, Morbius, Ghost Riders, Man-Thing, Elsa Bloodstone, and Doctor Strange, the horror theme would be well-represented, allowing mechanics such as manifest dread to make a comeback.

Finally, we can't help but anticipate an event set centered on Marvel's upcoming Secret Wars. This crossover would likely include characters transported to Battleworld, offering a chance to revisit iconic moments from the source material. Among the many possible cards, a God Emperor Doom card would undoubtedly be a fitting endcap to the Marvel x MtG crossovers.
