Unlike Spider-Man, Super Heroes will have the whole rest of the Marvel comics universe to play with, which should go a long way to mitigating some of the fan concerns that emerged from the former set, given a lack of scope and variety to create meaningful cards once you get past a few iterations of Spider-People and Peter’s gallery of rogues. Marvel’s broader world is much weirder than, well, Magic-ier than Spider-Man’s specifically is, and that’s even putting aside the whole swath of Actual Magic Users that are part of that world, so there’s plenty of opportunity to give players a much healthier variety of card archetypes and mechanical connections, whether they’re familiar with all the characters or not. Although Wizards is teasing there will be more opportunities for other special card variants in the set, the Classic Comic (leveraging classic Marvel comic covers for art and stylized framing), Panel Card (Saga card variants recounting themselves in, well, the style of comic book panels), and Source Material bonus sheet (utilizing classic comic art from Marvel’s history for reprints of prior Magic cards) formats will all return for the new set.
