visible-disgust

Surprised Disney would let them use the Marvel Super Heroes, didn't they recently release their own TCG, which would presumably feature all of the properties they own.

I guess MtG is doing much worse than they would like to admit, I don't know anyone who still plays it anymore, that includes people who have been playing since the 90s. All this stuff does is cheapen it and might give a short term boost to sales but won't help them out long term. Why play a card game that no longer has a disctinct vibe but is now just "Funko Pops: The Card Game"

Two of them, actually. One is Lorcana, featuring Disney princesses and characters like Mickey Mouse. The other is a digital TCG, Marvel Snap, which is where all their superheroes are.

Because they don't want competition with Marvel Snap, Disney made Wizards of the Coast make non-Marvel versions of the Spiderman cards for digital Magic. Most of us find this amusing because paper Spiderman sales appear to be sub-par, so WotC shot themselves in the foot for nothing.
