Pokémon Champions‘ producer Masaaki Hoshino says only „final evolution“ Pokémon will be available at launch, possibly with exceptions for some like Pikachu and Eevee.
2026 is an unprecedented year in Magic: The Gathering’s history, with a record seven mainline sets dropping before year’s end. After Secrets of Strixhaven launches in late April, Marvel Super Heroes is this summer’s next big Universes Beyond crossover set after Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You can preorder each item from Amazon and Best Buy before the set comes out in full on June 26. And like all other mainline Magic sets, Marvel Super Heroes includes plenty of sealed products for both new and veteran players alike to pad out their collections. Everything from booster packs, Commander decks, and Bundles are available, and this set also brings back the Jumpstart and Beginner Box products to help onboard newer spell slingers.
Marvel Super Heroes is the next Marvel-centric mainline set after last year’s Spider-Man, but will explore the much broader universe. Fans of both Magic and Marvel Comics will find something to love here, as the set promises to feature many of our favorite heroes, villains, locations, and story moments from throughout the comics‘ vast lore and history. From a card design perspective, it will be very interesting to see how many of these characters will translate to Magic mechanics, but if successful Universes Beyond releases like Final Fantasy are anything to go off of, Wizards of the Coast might have another hit on their hands.
We’ve aggregated all the available sealed products launching alongside Marvel Super Heroes below, so be sure to browse through and find the deck or box you’re interested in.
$190 (was $210) | Releases June 26
Play booster boxes are boxes of 30 Play booster packs. These are the best way for new players to build out their collection, or for hosting 8-player draft pods.
$167.76 | Releases June 26
Jumpstart booster packs are a much more unique way to play Magic while also cracking packs. Marvel Super Heroes Jumpstart booster packs each have a 1 of 51 possible themes, and opening two 20-card packs to combine into one Limited deck is the quickest way to get a game of Magic going.
$70 | Releases June 26
Magic Bundles are the perfect gift for new players or a loved one. The boxes are relatively small, and the art on the storage boxes are great ways to store your collections. You’ll receive:
$90 | Releases July 17
Gift Bundles are very similar to regular Bundles in that they include a handful of booster packs and come with a nice storage box for your collection, but have a few extra exclusive goodies. Each Marvel Super Heroes Gift Bundle comes with:
$130 | Releases June 26
Draft Night kits are best enjoyed by fans of Magic’s Limited formats. Specifically, you’ll use this kit to play a 4-player Pick-Two Draft pod, as it contains everything you’ll need to run the tournament straight out of the box. Here’s what you’ll receive:
$35 | Releases June 26

Scene Boxes have been around since the Lord of the Rings crossover set. They make their return here with Marvel Super Heroes, and feature some of the most iconic characters we’ve grown to love over the years.

$42 | Releases June 26

$75 | Releases June 26
The Wakanda Forever Commander deck is green and white, focusing on the King of Wakanda himself, Black Panther. You’ll use Artifacts to power up your creatures and fight to become the Monarch for some extra card draw throughout the game. Here’s what’s included:
$75 | Releases June 26
The Fantastic Four Commander deck is unique in that features four different Legendary Creature cards you can pick as Commander, each representing the different members of the team.

$75 | Releases June 26
The only Marvel Super Heroes Commander deck to focus on villains, Doom Prevails uses the Grixis shard (blue, black, and red) to take advantage of the Connive mechanic, which allows you to draw cards and fill your graveyard for overall deck synergy. Inside the box is:
$320.67 | Releases June 26
If you’re wanting to check out all four of Marvel Super Heroes‘ Commander decks, Amazon allows you to buy all four in one convenient bundle, potentially saving you a bit of money on shipping costs in the long run.
$639.96 | Releases June 26
You can also get each Marvel Super Heroes Commander deck in a premium Collector’s Edition. You’ll get everything you would in the regular Commander decks, but this time the included cards and tokens are printed using the beautiful Surge foiling.
$450 | Releases June 26
Collector Booster boxes are collections of 12 Collector booster packs. These are for the hardcore collectors and investors, which explains the premium price tag. With Collector boosters, you’ll have a much higher chance of cracking chase cards, foils, and alternate art cards that could be quite expensive on the secondary market.
$7 | Releases June 26
Play booster packs are the meat and potatoes of any Magic: The Gathering release. While Play booster boxes are the quickest way to build a collection, you can purchase Play booster packs individually. Each 15-card pack comes with 6 to 9 common cards, 3 to 5 uncommons, and 1 to 4 rare or Mythic Rare cards, with one card of any rarity guaranteed to be a traditional foil.
$42 | Releases June 26
Just like Play booster packs, Collector booster packs can be purchased individual, but at a significantly higher price due to the expected value from any given pack. While these also contain 15 cards, the rarity breakdown is bit different compared to Play boosters. Each one comes with the chance for 9 to 13 traditional foil cards, with 5 rare of Mythic Rare cards. There’s also the chance for your cards to sport the Borderless, Special Guest, or Serialized Headliner cards, and you have a less than 1% chance to open a Headliner Mythic card.
The free TV and movie streaming service Tubi has announced a young adult romance movie called Game On, and it will feature veteran gaming actor Nolan North (Uncharted, Assassin’s Creed).
The film follows the talented gamer Casey, played by Sky Katz, who is trying to win her high school’s first gaming tournament for the game Eon Rush. Her main competition is a boy she has a crush on named Theo (Case Walker). The twist is that Casey tries to „stay undercover and use their budding romance to study his moves and take him down from the inside.“
The report from Variety did not specify, but it seems North plans Casey’s father, a man who seeks to remind Casey „who she is beyond the headset.“ And in classic soap opera form, Casey’s „carefully calculated plan begins to unravel as fake feelings turn real,“ according to the movie’s official description.
