If you’ve been searching for MTG Spider-Man cards or wondering how you can break into the game and where Marvel’s Spider-Man fits into Magic: The Gathering, you’re in for a treat. Wizards of the Coast has officially unveiled the Spider-Man Welcome Decks, a bold crossover designed to introduce new players to Magic while showcasing beloved characters from the Spider-Verse.
What Are Spider-Man Welcome Decks in Magic: The Gathering?
The Spider-Man Welcome Decks are part of Magic's Universes Beyond line, bringing superheroes directly into the MTG ecosystem. These beginner-friendly decks are built with pretty basic abilities, flavor-rich designs, and recognizable heroes including Peter Parker, Venom, and Miles Morales.
If you’re searching for Spider-Man MTG cards, each deck features:
A 30-card monocolor deck themed around one Spider-Verse character
A second 30-card deck from one of the remaining colors, randomly included
Iconic art including Spiderweb lands featuring stylized New York City scenes
Cards from both the main set (SPM) and the special intro set (SPE) that are easy to use and understand
Who Are the Heroes Featured in MTG Spider-Man Decks?
Each color represents a major Spider-Verse hero, making it easy to search by character and deck type:
Each deck includes a mythic rare Spider-hero card, a powerful spell, and two Booster Fun cards with enhanced visuals—ideal for new and seasoned players alike.
Why These Marvel Magic Decks Are Perfect for New Players
The Spider-Man Welcome Decks are not tournament-legal, but they’re perfect for casual play, teaching sessions, and Magic Open House events. The cards include increasingly rare reminder text for key abilities like vigilance and trample, making it easy for newcomers to learn the ropes and dive in.
Plus, these decks draw inspiration from Jumpstart-style play, where two half-decks can be combined for fast set up and gameplay without the need for deep deck-building knowledge.
If you’re Googling “Magic: The Gathering Spider-Man for beginners”, these decks will fall right in your lap.

A New Chapter: Marvel’s Web Swing into MTG
The MTG Spider-Man Welcome Decks aren’t just a fun crossover—they’re part of Wizards’ push to make Magic more accessible and culturally relevant, just like they did with the recent Final Fantasy set. When new plays jump in the game we love becomes more diverse, challenging, and most of all fun. Keep it up Wizards, Magic is more exciting than it has been in a while!
