Magic: The Gathering x Spider-Man & Avatar - What to Expect in 2025

Just when you thought Magic: The Gathering had peaked with its crossovers, 2025 is set to take things to another level. Two blockbuster franchises - Spider-Man and Avatar: The Last Airbender are swinging into the MTG universe, and collectors are already buzzing.

What Is Universes Beyond?

Spider-Man Comes to MTG (Releasing September 26, 2025)

Marvel’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man will headline a Universes Beyond set that’s already generating hype among comic fans and card collectors alike. The release is expected to feature Peter Parker, Miles Morales, Venom, and other well-known characters across powerful cards with new mechanics.

Wizards of the Coast has hinted that this set will balance playability with artwork that honors the Marvel legacy. Expect foil treatments, alternate comic-style art, and chase cards that may become instant collector staples.

Avatar: The Last Airbender (Late 2025)

Aang, Toph, Zuko, and Uncle Iroh are finally joining the game. The upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender set is expected to blend elemental themes perfectly with Magic’s color wheel. Firebenders as red, waterbenders as blue, the flavor potential is massive.

Collectors can anticipate a Commander deck release along with boosters that may feature full-art cards, lore-heavy designs, and premium foil treatments for fan favorites. This crossover is ideal for both players and sealed box collectors looking for long-term value.
