Introductory Marvel Decks for Beginners
Wizards of the Coast is bringing iconic comic book characters to local game stores through new Marvel Super Heroes Welcome Decks. Designed specifically as a teaching tool, these products provide a streamlined entry point for newcomers wanting to learn the game or experienced players looking to onboard their friends.
Each packaged box comes equipped with two separate 30-card half-decks. One half-deck is guaranteed to feature the specific character highlighted on the outer box, while the second 30-card half-deck is selected at random from the remaining four color options.
Card Pool and Exclusive Legendary Creatures
The cards packed inside these beginner decks span multiple upcoming releases. Players will find game pieces sourced from the main Marvel expansion sets, related Commander releases, and specialized Spider-Man products.
Every individual half-deck includes a non-foil mythic rare legendary creature to head up the strategy. If collectors want to upgrade these key heroes into traditional foil versions, those shiny variants will be available inside Collector Boosters for the set.
Where and When to Get Them
Players can get their hands on these introductory decks through participating Wizards Play Network locations while supplies last. Local game stores will begin distributing them during Avengers Academy events scheduled for June 12, 2026.
Following the early event access, the Welcome Decks will become widely available on June 26, 2026, coinciding with the global tabletop launch of the set. Players should consult their local game stores to learn about specific deck distribution plans and event schedules.
