Magic the Gathering Hobbit Card Spoilers, Marvel Super Heroes

Magic: The Gathering maker Wizards of the Coast unveiled several new card sets on Friday during the first day of MagicCon 2026 in Las Vegas, including collaborations with Marvel and JRR Tolkien’s “The Hobbit.”

The Magic: The Gathering-Marvel Super Heroes set (the latest addition to a long-standing partnership between Marvel and Hasbro’s Wizards) will debut on June 26 and “bring together iconic characters from across the Marvel Universe – from legendary heroes to world-threatening villains – reimagined through the gameplay of Magic.”

MCU star Paul Bettany, who plays The Vision in the modern Marvel films, graced the stage at MagicCon to unveil the new card “The Mind Stone,” which “marks the next chapter in the Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes journey.” Bettany also had the honor of adding a Mind Stone gemstone to a real version of the Infinity Gauntlet designed by East Continental Gems for Marvel.

“The Hobbit” set releases on August 14 and features cards “from the time-honored story, combining rich storytelling with strategic play as players adventure alongside familiar friends and formidable foes,” including the Gleaming Gold Smaug, the Magnificent headliner card, Middle-earth Classic Artist Cards and Dwarven Language Cards.

According to the set’s description: “Journey from the Shire to the Lonely Mountain alongside Bilbo Baggins in a set that captures the whimsy and heart of one of fantasy’s most beloved adventures. Players will encounter trolls, ponder riddles in the dark, and come face-to-face with Smaug himself – brought to life by Magic’s gameplay and design.”

The Marvel and “Hobbit” sets are part of Magic’s “Universes Beyond” collection, which adds third-party IP to the popular tabletop trading card game.
