Magic: The Gathering’s preview season for the upcoming Marvel Super Heroes set has officially begun, ahead of its full release on June 26. One of the new cards revealed is an equipment based on Thor’s magical hammer, Mjölnir. When Mjölnir enters the battlefield, it deals four damage to up to one target creature.

You can pay three mana to discard Mjölnir to deal two damage to each creature, and it doubles all damage that the equipped creature would deal. The “Equip Worthy” mechanic lets you pay one colorless mana to equip Mjölnir to any legendary non‑Villain creature that is red and/or white.

Wizards specifically chose those two colors so that various versions of both Thor and Captain America would be able to pick Mjölnir. "If you meet those criteria, then you are worthy, and you can pick up Mjölnir," lead designer Mark Rosewater confirmed in the preview call.
