Thanks to his recent main role in Spider-Man: No Way Home and anticipated blockbuster Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, Doctor Stephen Strange has risen to be one of the most prevalent heroes in the MCU. It is not only his high-level magic that makes him a powerful hero, but his amazing control over the mystic arts. The Sorcerer Supreme has even more incredible allies, villains, and stories to tell than what is shown on the big screen – and many of these long-awaited characters are now a part of Legendary: A Marvel Deck Building Game.

Before we get into new character debuts in Legendary: Doctor Strange and the Shadows of Nightmare, what about the Doctor himself? He first debuted in Legendary®: Secret Wars Volume 1, under the Marvel Knights affiliation. Now, Doctor Strange returns to defend Earth as an Avenger. Comic fans and especially MCU fans will appreciate this updated team affiliation. As an Avenger, Doctor Strange will now have greater synergy with other Avengers in Legendary, expanding more setup opportunities!

Doctor Strange isn’t the only powerful sorcerer M.D. in this expansion. A new hero that Legendary fans will be excited to see is Doctor Voodoo. Doctor Voodoo, aka Jericho Drumm, was once a skeptic of the local Voodoo he was raised with, but later learned the ancient ways and became Lord of the Loa. He and other sorcerers in this expansion invoke Rituals of awesome power through mystic talismans. These magic users put a new twist on the past keyword Artifacts: Ritual Artifacts.

Marvel’s sorcerers invoke Rituals of awesome power, anchored by mystic talismans. For Ritual Artifacts, you must fulfill the listed Ritual condition before using its effects - however, you don’t have to use it even if you fulfill the Ritual condition. You might want to save it for a future turn instead of discarding it, channeling its otherworldly capabilities at a more opportune moment. You can use as many Ritual Artifacts as you wish in a turn, including using multiple Ritual Artifacts with the same name. Using these sorcerous objects of staggering ability, Ritual Artifacts will come in handy turn after turn!

Your heroes best be well-armed with Artifacts to face the villains in Legendary: Doctor Strange and the Shadows of Nightmare. The long-anticipated Mastermind Dormammu debuts! He rules the Dark Dimension with apocalyptic power and seeks to conquer every universe of the Multiverse. Dormammu will force your heroes to make a Demonic Bargain. Demons offer gifts of power with a dark price, hoping to corrupt the souls of mortals. These deals with the devil are especially corrupting to the powerful and arrogant - the humble are more likely to escape with their souls intact…

Recruit multiple masters of the mystic arts from this talented cauldron of heroes, like Doctor Strange and Doctor Voodoo. Utilizing Ritual Artifacts, make stand against the denizens of darkness like Nightmare and Dormammu, in this terrifying expansion to Legendary: A Marvel Building Game.
