Doctor Doom's Horn Steals the Show in New MTG Set
10 Dec
Summary
- Magic: The Gathering's Marvel Super Heroes set features Doctor Doom.
- The set includes special card variants like Classic Comic and Panel Card.
- Doctor Doom's infamous 'sea horn' from Spidey Super Stories is featured.
Magic: The Gathering is set to release its Marvel Super Heroes set next year, marking the second collaboration with Marvel Comics. Unlike the prior Spider-Man set, this new release will delve into the wider Marvel universe, addressing fan feedback regarding scope and variety. The set promises diverse card archetypes, drawing from both magical and non-magical characters within Marvel's expansive lore.
Special card variants will return, including Classic Comic art and Panel Card formats that retell stories. A bonus sheet will feature reprints with classic Marvel comic art. Notably, this sheet will include "Heroic Intervention" multiple times and a humorous reprint of "Horn of Greed."
The "Horn of Greed" card specifically references a memorable panel from 1981's Spidey Super Stories, where Doctor Doom uses a "sea horn" to summon a monster. Wizards of the Coast's embrace of such lighter, meme-worthy moments aims to enhance the set's thematic resonance and appeal to players.
