“These were driven by the script and, yes, the RPG rules provided the Secret Lair team with additional design angles,” Jarvis said. While the Secret Lair team continues to release new collections with pop culture connections - it has another one planned later this year for Doctor Who - this is the first time fans will see a Universes Beyond treatment that connects to a film release. “Seeing the Tiefling creature type or a d20-rolling card on a Magic-universe card might be challenging, but as JJ says, never say never,” added Corey Bowen, Senior Game Designer for Magic: The Gathering. “Never say never, but these cards are very specific to these characters and this moment in time,” said Jeremy Jarvis, Senior Creative Director of Franchise Development at Wizards of the Coast, in an email. The collection features characters from the upcoming film as brand new legendary Magic cards designed for collectors and players alike.Īlthough this is hardly Magic’s first time featuring characters from other pop culture landmarks, there are no current plans for the Honor Among Thieves cards to have in-game versions for future Magic releases - unlike recent Secret Lairs such as the Stranger Things and Street Fighter releases, whose card text was repurposed on later cards with updated names and depictions that more closely match Magic’s aesthetic. To commemorate the theatrical release of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Wizards of the Coast is releasing a special edition Secret Lair collection under their Universes Beyond banner. At last, Magic: the Gathering cards featuring Chris Pine and Hugh Grant are coming.
