Wolverine’s healing ability breaks the rules of Magic: The Gathering

Wizards of the Coast revealed Wolverine, Fierce Fighter for Magic: The Gathering’s upcoming Marvel Super Heroes set.

The four-mana Gruul legendary creature has haste, fights when it enters, and uses a rare replacement effect that effectively heals damage as it is dealt.

The mechanic could reshape how players think about removal, combat math, and durability in MTG.

It also hints at new design space for future Universes Beyond cards.
