There have been loads of unusual Magic: The Gathering crossovers, however should you confirmed me playing cards based mostly on digital idol famous person Hatsune Miku, I’d have assumed they had been pretend if Wizards of the Coast hadn’t posted them by itself web site.

Per the official announcement, a complete set of Hatsune Miku themed Magic: The Gathering playing cards shall 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), nevertheless it’ll solely be obtainable 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 shall be 4 Hatsune Miku drops all through 2024, with every one representing a unique season. The announcement solely has particulars for the Sakura Celebrity batch, which consists of the next six playing cards:

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.
