Human Torch, Johnny Storm

Description

Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, arrives in the Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes set as an uncommon foil card, cataloged as number 321. This 2026 release by Wizards of the Coast brings the Marvel superhero into the Multiverse with a striking red foil treatment that complements his fiery persona. The card is illustrated by Leinil Francis Yu and Sunny Gho, whose artwork defines the visual identity of this crossover product. As a Legendary Creature — Human Hero, this card carries a mana cost of {2}{R} and boasts a power and toughness of 2/2. Its design emphasizes the subject's role as a key asset for players seeking to build aggressive or combo-oriented decks. The card features the Flying keyword, allowing it to bypass ground blockers, while its second ability creates a synergistic loop: whenever you draw a card, if you control another Hero, it deals 1 damage to a target opponent. This mechanic rewards players for maintaining board presence and card advantage simultaneously. The card also includes a powerful power-up ability. For {6}{R}, you may put three +1/+1 counters on Human Torch, significantly increasing its threat level. If the card entered the battlefield during the current turn, the activation cost is reduced by its mana cost, allowing for early-game impact. This dual-threat profile makes it a versatile addition to any collection focused on the Marvel Super Heroes subset. Collectors appreciate the foil finish for its shimmering quality and the card's unique mechanics that blend heroics with strategic gameplay. Whether you are a seasoned Magic: The Gathering player or a Marvel enthusiast, this card offers a compelling blend of art and function within the 2026 set.
