Wizards of the Coast just announced Magic: The Gathering Darkhold Destiny, its latest Marvel set in a New York Comic Con panel. This is the third Marvel collaboration for the card game, but where the first two were about presenting super heroes as they already exist in Marvel canon, Wizards of the Coast was able to cook up its own storyline for Darkhold Destiny.
The set revolves around the likes of Doctor Strange, Thor and Ghost Rider, all trying to work against Hela and Dormammu invading the multiverse. It's a much better thematic fit for Magic: The Gathering, and the early cards have introduced new mechanics like Vengeance, which is like the Adventure mechanic introduced in Throne of Eldraine, but evil.
Even though there was a lot of information in this panel, the set doesn't come out until April 8th next year, so there are still plenty of details that WotC is holding close to its chest. And, keep in mind that there are still two more Universes Beyond sets coming next year that we don't know anything about.
8:35 pm: And that's the show. Darkhold Destiny, looks like a cool set, but there's still a lot that Wizards didn't reveal. But it's a decent start!
8:33 pm: WotC announced a special promo or Doctor Doom, King of Latveria for Avengers Doomsday. you'll be able to grab it if you go see the movie at a Regal Cinemas on opening weekend "as long as supplies last". It's the face of the Dr. Doom commander deck, and it's done in the style of the MCU, so I expect it'll go fast.
8:31 pm: One more thing. There will be three Secret Lair drops inspired by Dr. Doom, just in time for the new Avengers movie. They're not revealing which cards are in the drop yet, but there is Dr. Doom art, and they told the crowd "you'll have to guess which reprint this is". I guess we'll wait.
8:26 pm: There are new Secret Lair, a countdown kit, a giant box with 30 cards. This thing is about to cost a lot of money. Most people will get it in nonfoil, but there will be a random chance that you'll get it in traditional foil, and an even more rare chance to get it in surge foil. I guess the Secret Lair booster packs didn't work, but we're at least getting to gamble on whether or not they're foil. The Secret Lair launches November 2nd.
8:22 pm: There will be two bundles, a regular bundle and an 'Arcanum' bundle. Both of these will have their own mechanically unique promo card. Hopefully that card doesn't get too expensive! There are also two scene boxes, also filled with mechanically unique cards.
