Magic: The Gathering swings into superhero territory with its Marvel’s Spider-Man set, launching globally on September 26, 2025. But fans can dive in early through Prerelease events at local game stores, where players receive a themed pack containing six Play Boosters, a foil-stamped rare card, a deck box, and a spindown die.

These events are perfect for newcomers and veterans alike, offering a casual yet thrilling introduction to the set’s mechanics and characters. Players build 40-card decks from their packs, guided by powerful threats and strategic removal spells, all while embracing the excitement of sealed format gameplay.

The set introduces five dynamic draft archetypes, each built around two-color strategies and iconic Spider-Man themes. From the villain-packed blue-black connive deck to the explosive red-green large spells build, each archetype features signpost uncommons that help shape your deck’s identity. Web-slinging, the set’s signature mechanic, adds a cinematic flair to gameplay, allowing Spider-Heroes to swing into action with style.

Whether you’re modifying creatures, unleashing mayhem, or assembling a heroic team, this prerelease is your chance to experience the Marvel universe through the lens of Magic. Get ready to crawl walls, cast spells, and conquer the battlefield like a true Spider-Hero.
