Magic: The Gathering (https://www.destructoid.com/tag/magic-the-gathering/) is set to collaborate with Marvel in a deal that spans multiple decks and years. This news came courtesy of Wizards of the Coast via press release and a new, rather down-to-earth YouTube teaser video.
Multiple Planes Makes For Easy Collabs
Focusing on the press release, fans won't have to wait too long for the first Marvel Universes Beyond collab deck. In 2025, WotC will release the first tentpole Magic set (a full card collection complete with boosters, starter decks, etc.) and continue to create new boosters and sets well into the future. No definitive end date was provided for this collaboration (https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/the-magic-the-gathering-marvel-collaboration-begins) at this time.
President of WotC, Cynthia Williams, has the following to say regarding this collaboration, "We are extremely proud to collaborate with Marvel to bring its iconic characters to fans around the world in new ways. These tentpole sets will build on the tradition of incorporating beloved fan-favourite characters and elements from world-class brands into Magic: The Gathering."

The YouTube video, on the other hand, only provides a small tease rather than anything of substance. If any of the other Universes Beyond Magic the Gathering decks are anything to go by though, fans have little to worry about.
Universes Beyond is Wizard's of the Coast's ongoing crossover event with MTG. Each set takes major characters, places, and terms from the show and builds a full set around it with varying success. For anyone out of the know, recent properties to cross over are Doctor Who and Lord of the Rings (https://www.destructoid.com/lord-of-the-rings-is-coming-to-magic-in-2023-heres-a-gandalf-tease/) with Fallout, Final Fantasy, and Assassin's Creed coming in the near future. So yes, players will be able to play two-headed giant matches of Clive and Altair versus one of the Doctors and Iron Man within a few years. What a time to be alive.
