3 New Green Goblin Cards Revealed for Spider-Man’s Magic: The Gathering Crossover

Reveals for Magic: The Gathering’s upcoming Spider-Man crossover acceptable are successful afloat swing, and we’ve got an exclusive archetypal look astatine 3 caller cards themed astir the villainous Green Goblin. While 4 antithetic versions of the Goblin himself person already been revealed (one of them by america backmost successful March), contiguous we person a archetypal look astatine cards depicting his signature weapon, glider, and location base.

Here are each 3 of those caller cards:

For me, the standout paper present is easy Oscorp Industries, a Rare onshore with Mayhem, which means it tin beryllium played from your graveyard if you discarded it that turn. Mayhem is the featured mechanic of the black-red colour brace that Green Goblin lives successful for this set, and is simply a spot of a twist connected an existing mechanic called Madness. This lets you wring retired immoderate other worth by fundamentally negating the downside of different cards that person you discard arsenic an further cost.

But what makes Oscorp Industries particularly notable is that it’s the archetypal existent land with either Mayhem oregon Madness connected it. There was 1 earlier this, but it was a non-legal “playtest” paper called Madlands from past year’s Mystery Booster 2 set, which present makes what seemed similar a goof astatine the clip really a spot of a tease for what was to come. (Speaking of playtest cards, I precocious wrote each astir the Unknown events that enactment them straight successful the hands of its players.)

Given the discard theme, the different 2 Green Goblin cards we are revealing contiguous marque a full batch of sense. Pumpkin Bombardment is simply a elemental Common removal spell that costs a azygous reddish oregon achromatic mana to cast, but comes with the further outgo of either paying 2 much mana of immoderate colour oregon discarding a paper – an effect that could really beryllium beneficial with the close Mayhem cards successful your hand.

For example, Rocket-Powered Goblin Glider, which is simply a Rare instrumentality that automatically equips itself to a carnal if you usage its Mayhem quality to formed it. This isn’t the astir breathtaking instrumentality successful the satellite if you person to wage the afloat 3 mana to formed it and past 2 much to equip, but doing some for conscionable 2 mana and cheating the different detrimental discard effect of different paper sounds beauteous appealing to maine successful the close deck.

Of note, if you lone play Magic: The Gathering connected the integer MTG Arena client, you won’t spot these nonstop cards amusement up there. Wizards of the Coast antecedently revealed that Spider-Man would beryllium wholly reskinned arsenic portion of an inaugural called “Through the Omenpaths” for its online releases. We don’t person the alternate looks for these 3 to stock today, but the afloat paper representation assemblage for that mentation of the acceptable volition beryllium going unrecorded connected September 8.

The Spider-Man acceptable is already disposable for pre-order up of its September 26 insubstantial release, though beryllium warned that things similar the fancier Collector Boosters person started spiking to ridiculous prices. And if you are conscionable learning Magic (or superheroes aren’t your speed), we precocious did a hands-on preview of the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender Beginner Box that volition get alongside that crossover acceptable aboriginal this year.
