Last year, a set of Marvel-themed cards came Magic: Party –One of many ongoing brand crossovers in card games–And featured Class A heroes such as Black Panther, Wolverine and Captain America. But Spider-Man is lost in the outstanding roster because he has a set for himself.
At this weekend's New York Toy Fair, the Coast Wizard has launched six cards from the upcoming crossover. The preview below shows three classic villains – venom, the Green Goblin and the Octopus Doctor – along with specific cards built around the goblin’s pumpkin bomb and the OCK’s tentacles. As a “Legendary Creature”, Spider-Man and his villains have different abilities, such as removing up to three coma counters (Peter) or oozing target creature cards from the cemetery (venom), while Ock's tentacles bring enemy cards from the enemy cemetery you control. If that's exciting for you, it's just the tip of the network – other cards will feature other villains and Spider-Man, such as Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy and potential Miguel O'Hara, who might be the cover of the welcome packaging.
Max McCall, the executive producer of the Wizard, told IGN that Spidey needed his own scene because the team wanted to really “do justice for the character and combine many villains he had encountered over the years. Picking characters from Spider-Man Canon as part of a wider suit will leave too many characters on the floor of the cutting room. We may have found space for Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales in a specific suit that is not transnational, but Aunt May doesn't have space.”
If the idea of ​​a complete Spider-Man suit will inspire you to the excitement, the Wizard will have a wide variety of bundles for you to buy. Prices range from $38 (for Collector Booster Box) to $42 (scene box) or $210 (30-piece package Blay Booster Box). You can pre-order on Amazon or on the local gaming store before the September 26 release.
