Marvel and Magic: The Gathering team up for a comic book–exclusive MTG inside ALL copies of Avengers: Armageddon #1

Avengers: Armageddon #1 will be polybagged with a one-of-a-kind Magic: The Gathering card

The partnership between Marvel Comics and Wizards of the Coast's Magic: The Gathering card game is reaching a new level: an exclusive MTG card, only available in comic books.

The first issue of Marvel's upcoming summer crossover event Avengers: Armageddon will contain a new printing of the 'Warstorm Surge' MTG card (essentially a variant cover of an MTG card). The art is pulled from Ryan Stegman and Arthur Hesli's cover to the Armageddon / X-Men #1 Comics Giveaway Day comic. The exclusive MTG card won't be just jammed in there; Marvel is polybagging Avengers: Armageddon #1 to hold this variant 'Warstorm Surge' card.

This collab is being done to promote the upcoming Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes set coming later this year. You won't find this printing of the card there, though, or anywhere; Wizards of the Coast has promised not to include this in any of its sets.

Avengers: Armageddon #1 goes on sale on June 3 at your local comic shop, and online as well. The Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes set goes on sale June 26.


Here's a checklist of all the Avengers: Armageddon comics - from prequels to spin-offs, as well as the core series.
