**FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE**
**Renton, WA – October 26, 2024** – Wizards of the Coast is set to unleash a web-slinging fusion of card game strategy and Marvel’s iconic Spider-Man with the upcoming Magic: The Gathering® | Marvel’s Spider-Man set, releasing September 26, 2025. To make the game accessible, the set will have Welcome Decks.
Designed to introduce new players to the game, the Welcome Decks offer a fun and approachable entry point into the world of *Magic: The Gathering*. Available at local game stores, each Welcome Deck box contains two 30-card decks: one pre-constructed deck in one of Magic’s five colors, and a second random deck from the other four colors.
The decks feature cards from the main *Magic: The Gathering | Marvel’s Spider-Man* set (SPM), which will be legal in Standard format upon release. In addition, the Welcome Decks include new, specially designed cards (SPE) aimed at beginner-friendly gameplay. While these SPE cards are not legal in Standard, they can also be found in traditional foil versions within the set’s Collector Boosters. These new cards have a range of rarity from common to mythic rare.
Wizards of the Coast has published the full decklists for the monocolor decks, allowing players to preview the contents and choose their favorite playstyle before hitting their local game stores.
To further support new players, participating WPN (Wizards Play Network) game stores will be hosting “Magic Academy” events using the Welcome Decks.
Magic: The Gathering | Marvel’s Spider-Man set release on September 26, 2025 and will be available wherever *Magic: The Gathering* products are sold. Find your local game store and get ready to swing into action!
