Marvel’s Spider-Man (SPM) prerelease events run on September 19, 2025, with the official release one week later on September 26, 2025. Want to know more about how individual cards rate in Limited, plus some pick advice? Then check out this series of SPM Limited overviews!

Also, due to licensing issues, this set’s physical cards and online digital cards (MTGA, MO) will be presented with different card names and different card art, but the same rules text (a few proper nouns on some cards still differ). Therefore, this Limited overview shows both card arts together so readers can compare.

• For the mechanics, see this article: Marvel’s Spider-Man Mechanics Breakdown
• The physical card set is named Marvel’s Spider-Man (SPM)
• The online set is named Through the Omenpaths (OM1)

Rating Scale

5.0: Unconditional first pick; gives you a near-winning advantage
4.5: Unconditional first pick if you are in the right colors; gives you a huge advantage
4.0: Worth a first pick; synergizes extremely well with the archetype, and can be the deciding card for splashing / switching colors or moving into a color pair
3.5: Top uncommons and commons of the set and other sufficiently strong cards; synergizes well with the archetype and can be the key card for moving into a color pair
3.0: Important cards for the archetype, plus other above-average cards; you want these in your final deck
2.5: Average; usually a decent curve filler
2.0–1.0: Below average; you generally prefer not to play them, can be used as filler if necessary, but not too many
0.5–0.0: Unplayable; basically never play them, they will only help you lose

Card Ratings

Score: 3.0
Comment: Two excellent positive abilities, and it grows bigger as it takes damage, giving it a good chance to end the game. But the biggest drawback is that five colored mana is too heavy, so it is hard to expect it to really affect the board on time. Pay special attention.

Score: 3.0
Comment: Besides checking the opponent’s hand, it also comes with a disruptive ability that makes the opponent uncomfortable, thereby throwing off the opponent’s tempo.

Score: 3.0
Comment: A simple and effective recovery effect. If you have this creature, pay more attention to cards that can make Spider tokens.

Score: 3.0
Comment: A very important one-mana flier. If many of your creatures have this set’s Web-slinging ability, I recommend paying more attention to this card.

Score: 3.0
Comment: A card that fits the Modified ability very well. If you have already decided to go the white-blue Modified route, it is highly recommended.

Score: 3.0
Comment: A simple enters ability. Whether you put a counter on to grow it or recover a low-cost creature from the graveyard (especially one with flying), you can build an advantage. It is a creature you want to return to hand through Web-slinging.

Score: 3.0
Comment: An enters effect useful on both offense and defense. Its two-mana cost lets it enter early and help other creatures with Web-slinging enter.

Score: 3.5
Comment: An excellent Aura that performs on both offense and defense. Needing a fifth land to use it the turn it enters costs it a few points, but when both sides are laying down creatures and staring at each other, its effect can really build an advantage and even win the game.

Score: 3.0
Comment: A card that fits the Spider-Man worldview very well. Chapter one can stop the opponent’s flier, chapter two can create a Modified creature, and chapter three can set up an advantageous trade. A simple and effective Saga.

Score: 3.0
Comment: The front face is very good at helping other creatures with Web-slinging enter, while the back face suits letting other high-cost legendary creatures easily enter through Web-slinging to build an advantage. You could say the front and back faces suit different kinds of decks, making it a card that really tests the player’s deckbuilding skill.

Score: 2.0
Comment: An awkward ability in Limited, and it sacrifices itself, so the situations where you can use it are quite few.

Score: 2.0
Comment: Used to fill the curve. In a Modified deck the rating can be a tiny bit higher.

Score: 2.5
Comment: It is a real pity that the counter it places on entering cannot go on itself, but making Modified creatures gain lifelink is quite excellent.

Score: 3.0
Comment: Besides its face-value ability of protecting creatures and blocking fliers, flash makes the opponent misjudge the board and helps creatures with Web-slinging enter, helping the game go in the direction you want.

Score: 3.0
Comment: Protecting a creature (and incidentally making it Modified) or removing an opponent’s threat, there is no reason not to include it in your deck.

Score: 2.5
Comment: Although it is basically a vanilla creature, it has the excellent effect of letting other creatures with enters abilities enter again.

Score: 3.0
Comment: It can draw cards to replenish resources and gain life, and can enter with Web-slinging. There is hardly any reason not to let it into a white-based Limited deck.

Score: 2.5
Comment: A creature that helps with attacking.

Score: 3.0
Comment: A combat trick needed on both offense and defense.

Score: 2.0
Comment: A simple and handy combat trick. The flying it gives is not only good on offense but can also trade with the opponent’s fliers.

Score: 3.0
Comment: Simple and handy removal.

Score: 3.0
Comment: An Equipment that does both offense and defense, well worth putting in your deck.

Score: 3.0
Comment: An excellent card for attacking, though the vigilance it gives may not pair well with Web-slinging creatures, so keep that in mind when building.

Score: 2.0
Comment: With great power comes great responsibility. This is an Aura that can build a powerful creature. Besides the trade advantage when attacking, it can also help the player absorb damage, a card that does both offense and defense.

Conclusion

White this time does not have many especially outstanding cards, but every card performs steadily. Also, among the multicolor cards there are many hybrid-mana cards, such as Gallant Citizen, Mary Jane Watson, and Spider-Woman, Stunning Savior, all quite worth putting in your deck, suiting players who like to build an advantage step by step and play it safe.
