There have been loads of unusual Magic: The Gathering crossovers, however should you confirmed me playing cards based mostly on digital idol celebrity Hatsune Miku, I’d have assumed they had been faux if Wizards of the Coast hadn’t posted them by itself web site.
Per the official announcement, an entire set of Hatsune Miku themed Magic: The Gathering playing cards might be popping out over the approaching months as a part of the Secret Lair sequence. The primary batch, titled Secret Lair x Hatsune Miku: Sakura Celebrity, will launch on Might 13 for $29.99 (non-foil) and $39.99 (rainbow foil), but it surely’ll solely be out there till June 2. Right here’s hoping Wizards of the Coast has measures in place to stop scalping as a result of I can foresee these playing cards being hoarded and offered for obscene costs on websites like eBay.
There might be 4 Hatsune Miku drops all through 2024, with every one representing a distinct season. The announcement solely has particulars for the Sakura Celebrity batch, which consists of the next six playing cards:
- Harmonize
- Inspiring Vantage
- Miku, Misplaced however Singing (equivalent to Azusa, Misplaced however Looking for)
- Miku, the Famend (equivalent to Feather, the Redeemed)
- Miku’s Spark (equivalent to Chandra’s Ignition)
- Shelter
As you possibly can see, half of the playing cards are simply Hatsune Miku variants of already present playing cards, however they’ve obtained some incredible artwork (I particularly just like the look of the Inspiring Vantage card), and so they’re a pleasant different for individuals who need to run a themed deck based mostly across the Vocaloid idol. Plus, it’d be amusingly jarring to position her in a deck alongside MTG‘s personal fantasy icons and different crossover characters, like The Physician from Physician Who and The Strolling Useless‘s Negan.
MTG has many different units deliberate for 2024, and you’ll discover the total launch schedule for your self right here. This additionally consists of yet one more crossover, one with Ubisoft’s Murderer’s Creed sequence, which might be out in the summertime. Within the meantime, you possibly can try the brand new Hatsune Miku music video made to advertise her MTG crossover over on YouTube.
