An Accessible Marvel Origin Story

Newcomers can jump straight into the Multiverse with the Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes Beginner Box. Designed to teach fundamentals through familiar faces, the box provides a structured entry point for new players and comic book fans alike.

The boxed set launches internationally on June 26, 2026. Players looking to secure their copy early can already place preorders through local game stores and major online retailers.

What Comes Inside the Box

Every Beginner Box is packed with play resources to get two players started immediately. It contains ten distinct 20-card Jumpstart half-decks, allowing players to mix and match two themes together for a complete 40-card deck.

In addition to the cards, the package includes two playmats featuring gameboards, five double-sided tokens, two instructional play guides, and a dedicated reference booklet to help resolve rule questions during gameplay.

Guided Captain America and Iron Man Tutorials

Two of the ten half-decks are specially ordered to walk beginners through their very first match. One deck features a Captain America theme while the other highlights Iron Man, pitting the iconic heroes against each other in a scripted teaching scenario.

Players should avoid shuffling these two specific decks before their first game. Each card features special sequential numbering in the lower corner so players can easily reset the decks back to their initial stacked order.

Varied Colors and Super Hero Themes

Beyond the tutorial experience, the remaining half-decks highlight different strategic colors and comic concepts. Players will find two half-decks representing each of the five color alignments in Magic.

These half-decks explore popular archetypes such as artifact synergies and team-based strategies like the Young Avengers, offering plenty of replayability once the initial tutorial is complete.
