Six of the borderless cards from this set can be arranged together to make a full image of Spidey simultaneously dodging Doc Ock, Venom, and the Green Goblin. The Scene Box gives you all six of those cards (with a traditional foil pattern) in one handy bundle, plus an easel to display them on. It also includes six art cards and a handful of Play Boosters to build out your collection.
Players who preorder booster boxes from their local game stores may be eligible for special promo cards.
Welcome Decks are a familiar concept to some MTG players, although somewhat of a newly-revived one. These special sets are designed for new players of Magic: The Gathering. Each one includes everything you need to start your first game, with a full precon deck, a pair of reference cards to explain the rules, and a deck box to store it all in. These are typically only available at your local game store during new player events, so keep an eye on WOTC's store locator to find an event near you.
D&D and Magic: The Gathering Are Teasing Their Next Big Crossover Project
D&D and Magic: The Gathering appear to be crossing over with an unexpected plane as the next focus and a potential new mix of fantasy to explore.
In a similar vein, some local game stores will hold prerelease events for new Magic: The Gathering sets. Attendees of these receive the unique prerelease pack. Again, check the store locator for details.

How MTG's Spider-Man Set Fits Into New Legality Rules
What Cards Are Allowed In What Formats?
The cards available in the Marvel's Spider-Man set for Magic: The Gathering technically fall into three different expansions: SPM, SPE, and MAR. Each expansion differs in of legality; some can only be played in certain formats, others only for a limited amount of time. You can tell which card falls into which expansion by the symbol printed on the type line - for example, the spider emblem printed alongside the words "Legendary Creature" on the cards pictured above. SPM is represented by an image of Spider-Man's mask, SPE by the spider icon, and MAR by the Marvel logo.
Magic: The Gathering December 2024 Bans- Which MTG Cards Are Banned & Unbanned Now
Wizards of the Coast released its recent MTG banned card list update, which includes one special card that went unbanned for over a year.
Cards in the SPM are Standard-legal; that means they can be played in any game using the Standard format, and will likely remain legal for a period of two to three years. The SPE and MAR sets are legal in Commander, Legacy, and Vintage formats as well; any reprinted cards are, of course, still legal in the formats they were last legal in. Any cards from SPM or MAR in sealed Play Boosters are also legal in Marvel's Spider-Man Draft and Sealed matches.
For now, that's all we know about the Spider-Man set; keep an eye out for further details closer to launch, including more cards and details for pre-release and new player events. Tying in one of the most popular comic book characters of all time, this looks to be one of Magic: The Gathering's coolest collaborations.
