Hawkeye, Young Avenger

Description

The 2026 Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes expansion brings together two massive pop culture universes, introducing Hawkeye, Young Avenger as Card #131. This Uncommon Legendary Creature belongs to the Human Archer Hero type, representing Kate Bishop's iconic tenure as the archer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Designed by artist Darius Zablockis, the card features a mana cost of {3}{R} and a mana value of 4, fitting seamlessly into red-based strategies. In gameplay, Hawkeye offers a distinct tactical advantage through her unique ability. The card possesses the Reach keyword, allowing it to block creatures with flying. More importantly, her static ability modifies damage output for your entire board. If a source you control would deal noncombat damage to an opponent or a permanent they control, that damage is increased by Hawkeye’s power. With a base power of 2, this means any of your spells or abilities dealing damage will hit for an additional 2. As the card levels up or gains power, this damage boost scales accordingly, making her a valuable engine for aggressive or control-oriented decks that rely on targeted removal or direct damage spells. Hawkeye, Young Avenger stands out as a versatile piece for those building themed collections or seeking powerful red creature support. The card’s flavor text, "Not bad for a girl with no superpowers, huh?", captures her character perfectly, reminding players that skill and determination can rival any superpower. Whether you are expanding your Magic library or curating a Marvel-themed collection, this card represents a key intersection of gaming and comic book history.
