MTG Darkhold Destiny just went up for pre-order, and it's the first Marvel Magic set I've felt excited for

Pre-orders for Magic: The Gathering's latest expansion have emerged like a sorcerer from a sling ring portal, and to be frank, MTG Darkhold Destiny is the first time I've felt excited about a Marvel set.

Following its surprise announcement at New York Comic Con 2026, the supernatural range (which promises to explore darker corners of the Marvel universe) is now up for grabs at Amazon ahead of its 2027 release. I've been looking through the set's array of goodies – from four Commander decks to bundles – and am surprised to find myself tempted by the crossover. This caught me off guard; while the previous Spider-Man and Marvel Super Heroes expansions looked cool enough, I never felt as though they 'fit' the world of Magic. MTG Darkhold Destiny, though, is another matter. With its emphasis on alternate dimensions, spells, and all things spooky, it blends in with other sets so much better.

Magic expansions normally have a strong sense of worldbuilding and internal logic (you're summoning warriors or casting spells, primarily in a fantasy setting), so some crossovers seem out of place as a result. But this one being so rooted in sorcery and the supernatural make it a natural fit. I appreciate that many won't care about this, and just want cards that let them command their favorite Marvel characters. But for me, seeing someone like Iron Man, Captain Kirk, or Optimus Prime facing down a goblin horde pulls me out of the moment. Doctor Strange or the Scarlet Witch, though?
