Magic: The Gathering's Spider-Man 2099 Cards Create a Self-Sustained Combo
The upcoming Spider-Man Magic: The Gathering sets offer a lot of value, with the Spider-Man 2099 cards all synergizing with each other.
The Marvel’s Spider-Man Gift Bundle Swings Its Way Toward the Top
The Magic: The Gathering Marvel's Spider-Man Gift Bundle is by far one of the best products in this latest collaboration. Boasting a stunning white package with snippets taken straight from the Spider-Man comics, this bundle has that vintage look that would make any old-school Marvel fan swoon with admiration. And the Spider-Man Gift Bundle isn’t just a rebrand of MTG’s usual box sets, but thoughtfully curates its items to honor the Spider-Verse and MTG fans. It includes everything a player or collector could want, from high-value cards to flashy accessories. It truly nails both form and function.
Collector's Highlights
- 10 Booster Packs (And one Collector Booster Pack): Play booster packs offer the thrill of the draw and plenty of versatility. They’re perfect for casual play, building out decks in MTG, or just cracking open to trade with friends. Among the booster packs is a special Collector Booster Pack, which is filled with 15 cards featuring rares and premium foils with stunning special treatments.
- 1 Traditional Foil Alternate-Art Promo Card: Each Gift Bundle comes with an exclusive foil promo card featuring alternate art that can’t be found anywhere else. This is especially exciting for collectors and players who love showing off unique cards.
Lands, Accessories, & Style
- 30 Basic Land Cards: Every deck needs to be built off land cards in MTG, as they are required to play cards, and this bundle includes a full set of 30 lands: 15 foil and 15 non-foil. These land cards include 10 special full-art Spider-Man designs, which is a great added bonus.
- 1 Special Die Life Counter: This bundle includes a special orange die to serve as a slick way to track life total. It's both functional and fun. Additionally, it’s a great flex to show off at the table.
- 1 Foil Card Storage Box: The bundle includes a thoughtfully designed Spider-Man-themed foil box to store cards and accessories in style.
- 2 Reference Cards: The reference cards are great for new MTG players or folks getting back into the game. These help simplify gameplay and remind players of the basics.
Magic: The Gathering's Spider-Man Collab is Making Waves, But One Superhero Team-Up Can Still Top It
Spider-Man being the latest collab between Marvel and Magic: The Gathering is exciting to be sure, but one duo could take it even further.
The Marvel’s Spider-Man Gift Bundle Features New Cards and Big Buzz
What makes this bundle even more appealing is the card set it connects to. The Marvel: Spider-Man MTG crossover introduces all-new abilities and spells tied to Spider-Man lore. The Spider-Man and MTG collaboration’s cards also include iconic characters like Spider-Man 2099, Venom, Miles Morales, and Green Goblin, which tie neatly into some of the following new abilities:
|
Card |
Ability Description |
|---|---|
|
Spider-Man 2099 |
During the end of a player's turn (end step), Spider-Man 2099 can deal damage equal to his power if the player has played a land or cast a spell from anywhere other than their hand. Spider-Man 2099 is a great card for combos, especially when paired with Lyla. |
|
Venom (Eddie Brock) |
Gain a +1/+1 counter on Venom every time a creature dies. If the deceased creature was a villain, the player can draw an extra card. |
|
Miles Morales |
Whenever Spider-Man enters or attacks, players can put a +1/+1 counter on each other creature they control. Until the end of the turn, controlled creatures gain the trample ability. |
|
Spider-Ham (Peter Porker) |
Spider-Ham creates a food token when he enters. Additionally, Spider-Ham gives other creatures with the following words +1/+1: spiders, boars, bats, bears, birds, cats, dogs, frogs, jackals, lizards, mice, otters, rabbits, raccoons, rats, squirrels, turtles, and wolves. |
|
Aunt May |
Whenever a different creature the player controls enters, the player gains one life. If that creature is a spider, the player gets a +1/+1 counter. |
Players have recently enjoyed new mechanics introduced in sets like Edge of Eternities, released only a few days ago. So the Spider-Man collection is just adding to this onslaught of new abilities with flair. For long-time MTG fans, this kind of innovation is a big deal, and the new faces are an added plus. And the bundle gives players access to the perfect blend of play and collectibility, letting them properly dip into this new set with serious style.
Marvel’s Spider-Man Gift Bundle Is An Ideal Product for Anyone (Even Oneself)
Although this is marketed as a gift set and would undoubtedly make any holiday or special occasion one to remember, it’s just as good if someone is simply buying it for themselves. There’s genuine utility in this bundle that isn't limited to just flashy packaging.
New Players Should Jump Right In
Players who have just started collecting MTG or those who have been on the fence may appreciate the clean entry point this bundle offers. With helpful accessories and ready-to-play boosters, everything a new player needs to start playing is brought together in one place. Better still, it makes a great bridge between MTG newcomers and longtime Marvel fans who haven’t yet taken the Magic plunge. While Spider-Man isn't the first Marvel superhero in MTG, the careful theming makes it hard not to be drawn in. And once someone is set up, the bundle gives them everything they need to get started properly.
A Treasure Trove for MTG Veterans
Veteran players should appreciate the unique promo and collectible appeal of this bundle’s rarest MTG cards. With a bevy of new cards, abilities, and synergy potentials the new Spider-Man cards offer, this could be just what a long-time player has been looking for to add some variety to their collection and playstyle. But nice cards are not the only reason either group should consider this bundle, since there's huge value on the table with the booster packs, extra cards, and accessories.
