Wizards Announces Original Marvel Magic Set for 2027

Wizards of the Coast has announced Magic: The Gathering Marvel Darkhold Destiny, a crossover set built around an original Marvel story, with a 2027 release planned. The set was revealed at New York Comic Con on October 9, 2026, and is described as the first Universes Beyond release centered on a new story and setting rather than an adaptation of existing material. Wizards said the narrative was developed with Marvel and will be told through the cards and a companion comic. The comic’s first chapter is planned for February 2027; one report specifies February 6. The story is expected to include a new character, though the full plot and cast have not been detailed consistently in the reporting. Several reports identify Doctor Strange, Thor, Hela and Dormammu as central figures, and describe a supernatural adventure spanning nearly 30 dimensions. Other coverage mentions characters including Blade and Scarlet Witch. Wizards has not provided a complete account of the story in the material reviewed, so the precise roster and roles remain unsettled. The set’s reported release date is also disputed. Two reports give April 7, 2027, while two others say April 9.
