Released in 2025 as part of the Marvel's Spider-Man set for Magic: The Gathering, Wild Pack Squad (card number 23) is a foil common creature that bridges the gap between Marvel storytelling and strategic gameplay. Illustrated by John Tyler Christopher, this card depicts the disciplined tactics of the titular mercenary unit. As a Human Mercenary with a mana cost of {2}{W} and a power/toughness of 2/3, it integrates seamlessly into white mana strategies while offering unique utility.
