Hasbro's Q2 earnings call quietly revealed the direction for Universes Beyond 2027: fantasy-adjacent IPs tied to significant dates or events those properties are hitting next year. That's a real shift from the last few years of Universes Beyond, and it opens up a wishlist I can't stop thinking about. Here are the five properties we could see getting the Magic treatment in 2027, why each one has a real 2027 moment to build around, and why two of them feel almost inevitable

The MTG Storied mechanic is one of two new keyword abilities arriving in Magic: The Gathering | The Hobbit on August 14, 2026. It's a threshold mechanic: control three or more artifacts, legendaries, and/or Sagas, and you permanently gain an "enduring story" for the rest of the game, unlocking bonus effects on cards like Thorin Oakenshield and Bifur, Melodic Rider. We break down how Storied works, how it compares to Ascend and historic, and which decks are built to turn it on

MTG The Hobbit picked up a fresh round of reveals at MagicCon Amsterdam, and this batch is all archetypes and royalty. Thranduil, Bard, and the Queen of Dale anchor two new draft mechanics, Recruit and Storied, while Gollum, Riddle Master and the Desolation of Smaug bring the tension. Two full Scene Boxes were also detailed for the first time. This builds on our May first look from MagicCon Las Vegas, linked below, and covers only what's new.

The MTG Star Trek reveal dropped on Weekly MTG, and Wizards didn't hold back. We're breaking down every mechanic (Assimilate, Face a Dilemma, Federation, the return of Spacecraft and Explore), the LCARS frame treatment hitting shock lands, the Stardates reprint cards pulling classic Magic staples into the Trek universe, and the ultra-limited autograph cards signed by William Shatner and Kate Mulgrew. Plus everything on the four Commander precons and the November 13 street dat

MTG Marvel Super Heroes keeps moving the needle, and this week two cards are doing the heavy lifting. The Namor and Hex Magic price spike has pulled a Modern mono-blue tempo deck and a Ruby Storm combo piece into the spotlight at the same time, and neither one is slowing down. This Stock Watch breaks down what each card costs right now, why the Modern metagame suddenly wants them, and where the bigger money is moving in the same set.

The MTG 2026 release schedule has three sets left: The Hobbit in August, Reality Fracture in October, and Star Trek in November. They're not equal. Reality Fracture closes out the current Magic Story arc, and past arc finales like War of the Spark show a handful of cards holding value for years while the rest of the set fades. Star Trek will likely spike and correct the way Marvel's Spider-Man did, dropping $350 a box within weeks of its full reveal. Let's break down where to

MTG Marvel Super Heroes releases June 26, 2026, and the product lineup is enormous. Beginner Box, Jumpstart Boosters, Play Boosters, Bundles, Draft Night, four Commander decks in two editions, Collector Boosters, and Scene Boxes all hit shelves the same day. We break down exactly what comes in each product, the official MSRP for every option, and which ones are actually worth your money depending on whether you are new to Magic, building a game night, or chasing The Mind Ston

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is a mono-green legendary creature from MTG Marvel Super Heroes that may be one of the strongest token Commanders ever printed. She creates a Squirrel every time she enters or attacks, and her doubling ability never taps, letting you activate it as many times per turn as you can afford. This guide covers the full strategy across every stage of the game plus five must-include cards, including the genuinely busted Earthcraft infinite combo.

MTG Marvel Super Heroes prerelease weekend wrapped up June 19 through 21, and the real games have started to reveal what actually matters in this format. One card stole games outright. A cluster of indestructible and hexproof threats left some decks with no real answers. And a handful of overlooked commons and uncommons quietly punched above their rarity. Here's what prerelease taught us heading into the June 26 release and the draft season that follows.

MTG Marvel Super Heroes prerelease weekend starts June 19, 2026, a full week before the set's official release. We break down exactly what comes in the prerelease kit, the two promo card options on offer, the Power-up and Plan mechanics that define the set, the mythic rares most likely to take over your sealed pool, and practical deckbuilding advice for turning six Play Boosters into a winning 40-card deck at your local game store this weekend.

The Wakanda Forever precon decklist is officially public. The deck is led by T'Challa, the Black Panther with the Monarch mechanic and Vibranium artifacts at its core. We break down the full decklist in a clean reference, highlight the strongest inclusions worth keeping, identify the weaker seats that need swapping, and recommend the most effective upgrades to push the deck past precon power level.

Killmonger, Ruthless Usurper from MTG Marvel Super Heroes is getting day-zero errata to add "until end of turn" to his attack ability after players noticed the original text would have made him exponentially scale. Mark Rosewater confirmed the change on June 10. This is the third notable MTG errata in 2026 alone, and the pattern points to a real question: is Wizards' aggressive release cadence outpacing internal quality control? We break down what the errata means.

The Doom Prevails precon decklist is officially public after Wizards revealed the full 100-card Marvel Super Heroes Grixis villains deck on June 10. The deck is led by Doctor Doom, King of Latveria with the connive mechanic at its core. We break down the full decklist, highlight the strongest inclusions worth keeping, identify the weakest seats that need swapping, and recommend the most effective upgrades to push the deck past precon power level.

Marvel Super Heroes June 8 spoiler dump was the biggest single-day reveal of the entire preview season. Beneath the Mind Stone and Iron Man headlines, Wizards quietly revealed a full S.H.I.E.L.D. tribal subtheme with Nick Fury at the center, a brand new A.I.M. villain faction, the 51-pack Jumpstart product with 200 new non-Standard-legal cards, and the complete Avengers Assemble precon decklist with Captain America, Team Leader. We break down what actually matters.

Marvel Super Heroes vs Spider-Man is the most informative side-by-side comparison in recent Magic history. Spider-Man underperformed badly at prerelease, with empty events and the least-drafted Arena launch ever. Eight months later, Marvel Super Heroes arrives with 600+ cards, four Commander precons, and full Arena support from day one. We break down every design choice Wizards changed between the two sets and what it reveals about how the company is now thinking about Univer

Bruce Banner and the Incredible Hulk is a double-faced card in MTG Marvel Super Heroes. Bruce Banner starts as a 1/1 who draws cards until you pay six mana and flip him into an 8/8 with Reach, Trample, and Enrage. Whenever the Hulk takes damage while attacking he gets a counter and gets another combat phase. He literally gets stronger every time he gets hit. And players already found the combo that makes him go infinite. Here is everything you need to know about this exciting

Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes is the first full Marvel set and the biggest Universes Beyond release in Magic's history, with over 600 mechanically unique cards. Prerelease June 19, full release June 26, MTG Arena June 23. Four Commander decks. The Mind Stone as the headliner Infinity Stone. Wolverine uses a word never printed in Magic. The Hulk gets stronger as he gets angrier. And sagas look like comic book pages. Here is everything confirmed so far about the set.

MTG Marvel Super Heroes drops June 26, 2026, and the four Commander precons (Avengers Assemble, Wakanda Forever, The Fantastic Four, Doom Prevails) are already commanding wild Collector's Edition premiums on the secondary market. One month out from release, here's a full breakdown of each deck, what mechanics they actually run, who the best face commanders are, and which deck is the smart preorder for both players and collectors before the June 19 prerelease window opens.

A new One Ring card revealed at MagicCon Las Vegas 2026 for the upcoming Magic: The Gathering Hobbit set has erupted into a full plagiarism scandal after fans caught the artwork by veteran MTG illustrator Dan Frazier matching a 2023 piece by Marta Nael almost line for line. Wizards of the Coast and Frazier issued a joint apology, but the response has split the community. We break down exactly what happened, why this case is different from previous Magic art controversies, wha

Leonardo and Michelangelo make one of the most deceptively powerful partner Commander combinations in the TMNT Magic set. Leo grows your entire board every time a token enters. Mikey creates a Food token every time you attack, which automatically triggers Leo. Every turn. For free. Add Ocelot Pride, Hardened Scales, and Doubling Season to the mix and the math gets genuinely offensive. This is a full deck guide covering strategy, must-include cards, and how to close out games
