After the release of Magic: The Gathering set, Marvel’s Spider-Man, one card stood head and shoulders above others in terms of desirability. The Soul Stone wasn’t just the most sought after card in Marvel’s Spider-Man; it also rapidly became one of the most valuable MTG cards overall.
Now, ahead of the release of the Marvel Super Heroes set for MTG, it seems that another of the Infinity Stones is gathering pace to be the most highly sought after card in the set. Let’s check it out!
The Mind Stone – Mythic, MSH 0021
The first, and most commonly found variant of The Mind Stone is at the Mythic rarity level. If we’re being honest, it’s a fairly standard looking card; it feels less impactful than The Soul Stone, even though it shares a very similar style:
That said, what is cool about these cards in their standard variants is that they do feel much more like Magic: The Gathering cards than Marvel cards. They’ll fit seamlessly into an MTG deck more than something like the oft-mocked Hot Dog Cart, for example.
Is The Mind Stone is somewhat underwhelming in terms of gameplay than The Soul Stone? It does feel that way, and it doesn’t quite feel thematic enough either. Will this lead to it being undervalued in comparison? We shall see, but it’s the variants which are going to be seeing the highest values in any case.
The Mind Stone (Borderless, Cosmic Foil) – Mythic, MSH 0385
We’re very likely to see this specific card becoming the most valuable of all cards in the Marvel Super Heroes set. It’s a borderless card with a textured foil treatment, and it’s going to be found in a very small number of packs, percentage-wise. Though it doesn’t feature the game text, so isn’t necessarily playable, given its value and scarcity you are never likely to see a player actually use this in their deck anyway!
The Mind Stone (Borderless) – Mythic, MSH 386
Finally, the third variant of The Mind Stone is the very comic book-inspired card 0385. It shows Thanos having collected The Mind Stone, though thankfully for the universe, he doesn’t appear to be in possession of the other Infinity Stones. Yet.
Mind Stone
Just don’t confuse The Mind Stone with Mind Stone, which has appeared in a vast number of sets since being introduced way back in 1997’s Weatherlight. It’s a different card, with different mechanics entirely. It can be found in several recent Universes Beyond sets, however, such as Fallout, Doctor Who and Final Fantasy.
