MTG Spider-Man release date, card spoilers, and news

When is the MTG Spiderman release date? Marvel Spiderman is the second Universes Beyond set coming out in 2025, and the first in what we expect to be several Marvel Magic: The Gathering releases over the next couple of years. The wallcrawling, webslinging hero will be joined by plenty of allies fromacross the Spiderverse, to battle against one of the best rogue’s galleries in the entire superhero genre.

This set is fast approaching now and we not only have a much better idea what it will look like – we’ve even seen the first few card spoilers. You’ll find everything we know about MTG Spiderman below, but you can also check other sets in our MTG release schedule breakdown.

MTG Spiderman release date

The penultimate Magic set of the year, MTG Spiderman is coming out on September 26, 2025, just under two months after the spacefaring set Edge of Eternities. Like all other Universes Beyond sets, it’ll be coming to MTG Arena, and the cards will be available digitally on September 23, a few days before the global release date.

However, for this set’s digital release, Wizards of the Coast is releasing what it’s calling a ‘Through the Omenpaths’ set. This means that the Spiderman cards that hit Arena won’t be Spiderman cards at all. They’ll be reskinned versions, with the same rules text, but in-universe MTG art and names.

This seems to be happening thanks to licensing issues with Marvel, and is the plan going forwards whenever a license-holder doesn’t want their cards appearing on Magic’s digital platform.

The general pattern is that MTG sets have a prerelease a week before the full launch, where you can buy the new cards from Local Game Stores. So we’d expect this set’s to begin September 19.

MTG Spiderman products

Like all other Standard sets, MTG Spiderman will be sold in Play Boosters and Collector Boosters, the latter having foil cards, a higher chance at more rares, and more special art variants of regular cards.

However, in an unusual break from tradition, Wizards of the Coast is not releasing Commander precon decks for Spiderman. Instead of these, it’s created ‘Welcome Decks’. Similar to Jumpstart packs, these boxes contain prebuilt decks consisting of two mono-color ‘half decks’ slapped together.

This gives us some idea of the company’s expectations for the set. Clearly, it’s trying to double down on one of Universes Beyond’s main mission statements and draw new customers to Magic. A prebuilt, lower power Constructed deck is going to be a more approachable starting point for most than jumping in at the deep end with Commander. Wizards designers have also talked about making slightly fewer precons in the future, responding to complaints about product fatigue.

For collectors, however, the set also has has a scene box, six borderless cards that form a single image, selling for $41.99.

MTG Spiderman spoilers

I thought we’d try something a bit different with these Spiderman card spoilers and group them into categories for easier perusing.

Spider-verse Characters

Maybe it’s because I just rewatched Into the Spiderverse, but it just makes sense to group these together, even though Miles and Gwen are from the starter decks and the others are from the main set.

As you’d expect for (I assume) the power cards in their starter decks, Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales have strong but simple effects. Both are quite aggressive: Gwen deals damage for each attacking creature you have while Miles buffs up your whole board.

Then we have a Peni who draws cards with modified creatures, a Noir Spider-Man who buffs creatures when they attack in solitude, and a Peter Porker who buffs up every kind of animal.

Scene Box

The first cards revealed for MTG Spiderman were a scene box, six cards that slot together to make a complete collage. These include our first of many Spiderman cards, Sensational Spider-Man, as well as Doc Ock, Venom, and Green Goblin.

Green Goblin, interestingly, is goblin tribal, buffing up other MTG goblins when you discard cards. Venom can exile cards from graveyards to add their strength to himself, and Doc Ock can animate a random artifact, turning it into an 8/8.

Spider-Man himself, meanwhile, is Azorius colors. He can web up his enemies, tapping and putting stun counters onto creatures, or can remove stun counters to draw cards.

That’s all we know about the upcoming Marvel Spiderman set so far, but stay tuned! We’ll keep updating this page as more and more details are revealed.
