Hold on to your better half, Magic and Marvel fans alike! The next upcoming set, Marvel's Spider-Man, contains one of the six Infinity Stones.
<h2>The Soul Stone: A Sacrifice We're Willing to Make</h2>
The Soul Stone, pictured below, is a new card that Wizards of the Coast just revealed will be in the next Universes Beyond set. It is a mana-producing legendary artifact with a cost of . In addition to tapping for , you can also pay , tap it, and exile a creature you control to "harness" The Soul Stone. Harnessing presumably means that its final ability, denoted with an infinity symbol, is permanently active as long as The Soul Stone is on the battlefield.

The use of the infinity symbol implies that future Infinity Stones will also have harness abilities. The other Stones are confirmed to be in Marvel sets to come, but how many remains to be seen. Furthermore, we don't know the frequency Wizards of the Coast plans on releasing Marvel sets. Therefore, it could potentially take us until 2030 or beyond before we have a full set, just like Thanos intended.
Nevertheless, this is a big deal for Marvel fans and Magic: The Gathering players in equal measure. The Soul Stone is a remarkably strong black card, as it provides black mana for a mana value of 2, doesn't enter the battlefield tapped, and is indestructible. Offhand, that's incredibly strong, especially for Commander players. (As a sidebar, The Soul Stone will be Standard-legal!). And that's not even discussing the harness ability. That particular ability resurrects a creature from your graveyard on every one of your upkeeps. Also, that harness ability can be activated at instant speed, meaning you can leave that mana up where applicable.
But now, let's hear from you, dear readers. What do you think of The Soul Stone? Do you believe it's as good as I'm hyping it up to be? Also, what do you think the other Infinity Stones or the Infinity Gauntlet will actually do? Sound off in the comments below!
