Magic: The Gathering’s Spider-Man crossover set from last year is widely regarded as one of the game’s worst in recent memory. One of its biggest flaws was its considerably smaller size compared to other major Universes Beyond crossovers. Following new reveals at MagicCon: Las Vegas 2026 of the upcoming crossover with The Hobbit, due out in August, it’s become apparent that the second J.R.R. Tolkien Universes Beyond set will also be worryingly small.
