Two cards in Marvel Super Heroes are quietly carrying the arcane subtype — something that hasn’t shown up in a standard-legal set in over two decades. If you’ve been digging through the spoilers, this is the kind of detail that hints at where Wizards might be steering future sets.

The arcane subtype is back, and almost nobody noticed. Two new Marvel Super Heroes cards carry it, marking its first standard-legal appearance in 20+ years. It’s the sort of design breadcrumb that gets the brewing community speculating about what’s coming next — the full breakdown of both cards digs into why it matters.
If you’re building around the new set, there’s already a short list of cards showing up in early Commander brews. Draftsim flagged five potential future Commander staples from Marvel Super Heroes — worth a look before prices settle in once the set hits shelves.
And for anyone eyeing the preconstructed route, the question is whether the Marvel logo justifies the price tag. Draftsim breaks down each of the Marvel Super Heroes Commander decks and whether they’re worth it so you can decide before you commit.
Keep an eye on those arcane cards — sometimes the sleeper spoiler is the one that ages best.
