Hawkeye fans, get the food tokens ready. Director Kevin Smith dropped a Magic: The Gathering spoiler on Facebook on 7 May 2026, revealing Lucky the Pizza Dog as one of the legendary creatures in Wizards of the Coast's upcoming Marvel Super Heroes set. The one-eyed pup adopted by Clint Barton and Kate Bishop in Matt Fraction's beloved Hawkeye comic run gets his own card, and unsurprisingly the mechanics are all about food.

Whenever you cast a Cat, Dog, or Hero spell, you create a Food token. At the start of each end step, if you gained life that turn, Lucky picks up a +1/+1 counter. It is a niche typal-and-lifegain build at a low cost, the sort of card that will not reshape competitive Commander but slots very happily into a Cats-and-Dogs precon-tweak deck on Friday Commander night.
The reveal got attention not just because Lucky is the breakout fan-favourite of the Hawkeye Disney+ show, but because Kevin Smith was the one to drop the card. Wizards has been getting more creative with where it stages spoilers, and a Hollywood writer-director posting MTG cards on Facebook is the kind of thing that gets the comic-and-Magic Venn diagram talking. Smith was tied to the Marvel Super Heroes set as a creator collaborator on a comic one-shot featuring his own characters with Marvel Super Heroes-themed variant covers.
