Inside MTG Marvel Super Heroes: Design Teams, Mechanics, and a Squirrel Girl Preview
TL;DR
Wizards’ Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes preview explains how the Marvel Universes Beyond set was created, detailing the design teams (Exploratory/Vision led by Mark Rosewater, Set Design led by Dave Humpherys, and Commander Design) and the evolution of key mechanics (signal was replaced; connive returns; team-up evolves into teamwork; plus a mana-sink Power-up and Plan enchantments). It highlights top-down design, double-faced cards, Sagas, and cameo mechanics (e.g., Captain America’s shield counters), and features a preview card, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, with context about the Marvel collaboration and future Universes Beyond sets.
