It feels like there’s a new Magic: The Gathering collaboration every month or so these days.
Earlier this year, there was a set of Final Fantasy cards, while this month had some awesome Spider-Man ones. I would’ve loved to grab both, but the boxes are a bit pricey. And I assume the same can be said about the newest collab for the game, with PlayStation and several of its characters.
Characters from The Last of Us, God of War, Uncharted, Horizon, and Ghost of Tsushima highlight the set, which just scratches the surface of PlayStation IP, but there’s a lot to look forward to for fans of MTG, PlayStation, or games in general.
“When we heard there was an opportunity to be a part of a Secret Lair drop, we jumped at it!” said God of War Cory Barlog. “The team at Wizards of The Coast is incredible and it was an absolute pleasure bringing these cards to life with them. From the artwork to how the cards themselves functioned in relation to God of War was really something to behold. For instance, the way Kratos works in each drop is unique to where he was at each stage in the God of War timeline. Plus you throw in the additional interaction with Atreus and you have something we think fans are truly going to love.”
There are two Kratos cards in the collab, along with one for Atreus, while Naughty Dog has included cards for Joel, Ellie, and Abby from The Last of Us, along with Nathan Drake from Uncharted. Horizon Zero West’s Aloy and Ghost of Tsushima’s Jin Sakai rounds out the collection.
Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann also had to chime in about the collab, saying the studio has “so many longtime Magic: The Gathering fans at Naughty Dog, so it was an awesome experience to work with the Wizards of the Coast team to bring these cards to life.”
The cards will be available on Oct. 27 as part of MTG Secret Lair x PlayStation drop on the MTG website. For more info on all the cards, check out the PlayStation Blog. I hope they sell well, because I’d love an Astro Bot, Ratchet & Clank, or Sackboy card.
