Marvel Super Heroes has shown already that the pull of Marvel and the promise of great new cards is a recipe for success. We’ve seen a lot of interest in the set already, so here are our Top 10 Best Selling Marvel Super Heroes cards so far – the hottest, in demand cards.
THE BEST SELLING MARVEL SUPER HEROES CARDS OF THE WEEK
While we’ll get to our definitive list of the best selling cards in a moment, we need to talk about the sheer volume of sales for some of the pricier cards so far in the preorder window.
The Mind Stone is far and away the card topping preorders by value, and it’s easy to see why. It’s the headline chase card of the set, particularly for collectors seeking to assemble their own infinity gauntlet. As a mana rock, it’s a great one for Commander, offering indestructibility and a late game ability that’s always good.
Speaking of Commander, we’d say that Thanos, the Mad Titan’s continuing popularity in presale is due to the Commander crowd. Five color conditional wrath isn’t exactly the thing you want to be doing in Standard, eh? It’s a grand way to make a thematic Commander deck, though.
The Fantasticar – though ostensibly a Commander card – is seeing interest primarily for Legacy and Vintage, though, given you can chain all manner of cheap mana rocks that are either free or cost one mana. You can slam this down on Turn 1 with Mishra’s Workshop, drop some rocks, and then have 16 power in the air with haste, which is pretty insane.
Colorless cards always sell well – and often command a respectable price for their flexibility. Brewers are very interested in Molecule Man, Cosmic Cube and The Ten Rings, all of which are going to see high play in Commander.
Finally, it’s worth pointing out that Jennifer Walters is a second Voice of Victory legal in Standard, and another of this effect legal in Canlander, which is making her quite the attractive acquisition. Our stats say we aren’t the only ones to think so.
Anyway, it’s time for the countdown – our best selling MSH cards of the week.
10. SHANG CHI, MASTER OF KUNG FU
Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu is a heck of a two-drop. It comes down early, offers two mana of any one color for activated abilities of creatures, and also lets you activate creature abilities as though they had haste.
In cEDH, this is a great add to Sisay decks, enabling your mana dorks like Selvala, Heart of the Wilds to tap the moment they hit the field. It’s a big pickup for Kinnan decks, too, which love to run mana dorks and other ability heavy creatures.
It’s possible he sees some Standard play too, given the right meta and card pool.
9. HAWKEYE’S BOW
Hawkeye’s Bow is about to bust out some infinite combos with creatures that can target themselves with an untap ability. Combining it with Aphetto Alchemist in Commander gives Izzet decks a handy combo, but it’s not Commander that we’re thinking about here.
Remember Basking Broodscale in Pauper? Back in 2023 it was tearing up tables with an infinite combo, and eventually got hit with the ban hammer. Now, if you have Seeker of Skybreak, you can attach the bow to it, and have it target itself to untap – giving infinite ping damage, and winning you the game. Will this get banned in Pauper? Well, it’s not being pre-banned, meaning it’s likely to be racking up results on MTGO at the very least, if not at one event, before considerations are made.
8. THE WONDROUS WASP
Dress Down has been used recently to enable Death’s Shadow, and putting it on a 2/1 Flash Flyer is certainly going to have brewers wondering what they can do with it. It’s a shame it isn’t a Faerie, eh, Commander players?
Still, an evasive attacker that can lock stuff down or enable weird strategies is bound to be a popular card.
7. HIDDEN LAIR
The new cycle of “Marvel” lands is an interesting one, and one I like in Commander quite a bit, as it provides really reliable fixing. Over in Standard, where the more popular decks include Izzet, Four-color Control, Mono-Green Landfall and Dimir Excruciator, it’s easy to see why Hidden Lair is the most popular of these lands right now: it’s the one that can be played in the most Standard decks, as the cycle features Allied color lands.
6. MOLE MAN, MOLOID MASTER
Oh hey, another Crucible of Worlds effect. This time, it’s on a three-drop, that’s Legendary, and with a strong Landfall ability… that makes tokens that can mill you cards that might end up being lands? Welp. At least it’s not as good as Icetill Explorer for the green decks, eh?
5. ULTRON, ARTIFICIAL MALEVOLENCE
Do you like to copy artifacts for cheap? Do you like to do that with a cheap 2/4 that can be your Commander? Do you like to hold your Sol Ring back to make your start look less threatening in Commander? Well, here’s Ultron, Artificial Malevolence. Drop that Sol Ring after Ultron and pay to get a copy. Bank two mana for use every time you activate Goblin Welder. Go on, treat yourself.
4. MJÖLNIR, HAMMER OF THOR
Mjölnir, Hammer of Thor is an incredible Magic card. It’s a four mana equipment that equips for [1], and then has the equipped creature deal double damage. It deals four damage to a creature when it enters, too. And if that wasn’t enough, you can get a hard to counter instant speed Pyroclasm by using the discard ability. It kinda does it all, right?
This’ll be popular in Standard due to the hard-to-counter Pyroclasm added onto removal, and obviously will be near to an auto-include in Equipment decks in Commander. Hell yeah!
3. THE UNBEATABLE SQUIRREL GIRL
The archnemesis of Emrakul has arrived: Squirrel Girl. Squirrel Girl commands a cult following, and it’s easy to see why that following is propping up sales here. Squirrels are a very popular archetype in Commander, from Chatterfang to Hazel of the Rotbloom, Camellia to The Odd Acorn Gang, there’s a Squirrel Commander for you. Now, there’s also Squirrel Girl, who can slot into the 99 or lead a deck herself.
You know what really helps you succeed? Supportive Parents. Infinite possibilities, if you catch my drift.
2. HEX MAGIC
Select Uncommons always sell well, and this set, it looks like Hex Magic holds the crown. This is an eminently playable effect: a three mana self-wheel that lets you play what was previously in your hand until the end of your next turn. Ignoring how hard this goes with cast-from-not-your-hand-matters Commanders (hello, Nico Minoru and Laelia), it’s just a really good rate on the effect.
Oh and for all ten of you Kamigawa weirdos, it’s Arcane, which is cute.
1. AVENGERS DISASSEMBLED
The best selling Marvel Super Heroes card by far this week, though, is Avengers Disassembled. Turns out the Avengers have a lot of haters, eh?
On a more serious note, a three mana Anger of the Gods effect is usually really great in Standard, and this one can snipe lands that have been Earthbended – and of course the problem land of the moment, Ba Sing Se. Will it be quick enough to survive the kind of threats these decks can put out early game? Maybe not, but it’s still good to see this existing in Standard.
It’s funny – last time we covered our bestsellers for Secrets of Strixhaven, Erode’s spot at #1 made me nostalgic for the Flagstones Nahiri modern deck. Could Avengers Disassembled be another piece for a land destruction deck in Modern, or is it too slow?
END STEP
These are our best selling Marvel Super Heroes cards of the week. So far, our best-sellers are making a lot of sense, and we’re keen to see how The Fantasticar and Hawkeye’s Bow impact Vintage, Legacy and Pauper. What cards are your hot picks from the set so far?
