Magic The Gathering Teams Up With Post Malone

The world’s biggest fantasy card game, which features goblins, monsters and fantastic fantasy creatures has teamed up with  American rapper, singer, songwriter, Post Malone.

The cards will be released as part of the limited release Secret Lair range. These cards tend to be re-skins of existing cards. Previous Secret Lair releases have included Stranger Things and League of Legends: Arcane.

Post, a noted Magic: The Gathering enthusiast, provided creative input for cards in Secret Lair X Post Malone: Backstage Pass. Not only are the featured cards selected from his personal deck, the design features Post in a starring role.

In Secret Lair X Post Malone: The Lands, the scenery for the land cards features Post’s iconic tattoos somewhere among the setting. In addition, Post handwrote and drew the text for the land cards, making each one a personal expression from Post to the players.

“Post is helping us celebrate 30 years of Magic, and that includes this Secret Lair,” said Mark Heggen, a product architect for Magic: The Gathering. “We’ve loved working with him to find this new and unexpected way for him to connect with his millions of fans – either through his Magic enthusiasm or his immensely popular music.”

Both Secret Lair sets are available for preorder now until Nov. 14. Once the preordering window closes, they are gone for good! Both sets will be available in foil and nonfoil editions.

Secret Lair is a celebration of Magic: The Gathering through collaborations with world renowned artists, familiar franchises, and special events. It is a totally wild exploration into what it means to be a Magic card.

  • 1x Bolas’s Citadel as “Post’s Citadel”

Mighty Nein to hit US Cinemas

Critical Role Matt Mercer

Cult Dungeons and Dragons actual play show, Critical Role, has announced a special reunion of their cult D&D party, The Mighty Nein. The show , called The Mighty Nein Reunited will broadcast in 63 Cinemark theaters across the US and nine cinemas in South America. (Alas none in Europe, though it would be very early in the morning if they did that.)

In addition to the theatrical broadcasts, both episodes will simultaneously livestream on Critical Role’s Twitch and YouTube channels.

Starring Critical Role founders Matthew Mercer (Overwatch), Ashley Johnson (The Last of Us), Marisha Ray (Final Fantasy XV), Taliesin Jaffe (Final Fantasy XIV), Travis Willingham (Marvel’s Avengers), Sam Riegel (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), Laura Bailey (The Last of Us: Part II), Liam O’Brien (Star Wars: The Bad Batch) all reprising their roles from Campaign 2, the two-part special takes place several months after the events in Cognouza, when our unsung heroes of The Mighty Nein have started new chapters in their lives. However, when some discover that there are still old chapters yet to be closed, our heroes will need to reunite for more stories untold…

The Critical Role team have had a lot of big announcements recently. In addition to the launch of the record label Scanlan Shorthalt Music and the first album Welcome To Tal’Dorei, the next tie-in novel, Critical Role: The Mighty Nein – The Nine Eyes of Lucien is coming out at the start of next month.

Oh, and Season Two of The Legend of Vox Machina is coming very soon to Prime TV. You can catch a preview here.
