Magic: The gathering hit a gold mine earlier this month when she announced it A final set of fantasy Based on one of the most popular Video game Franchises of all time. Final Fantasy It was reportedly the best -selling magical set before it was published even thanks to extensive items. Now the wizards of the coast are hoping to repeat that success with the secret drops of Lair Topic around the video game icon Sonic the hedgehogLaunch on Monday, July 14th.
Depending on what century you were born, or you will recognize Sonic as the video game of Sega Genese in 1991 Sonic the hedgehog, or as a paramount of Pictures' Starvisar Sonic the hedgehog movies. (Either you may know him from Smash Bros or Mario and Sonic at the Olympics, or any of the countless other places that appear.) He now joins the story of magic: The game collection game for one year where magic aggressively invests in crossovers with other properties.
These crossovers began a few years ago with The Walking Dead, which became an official magic series called Universes outside of when Lair's secret fall for Stranger Things. We got magical cards for everything from Street Fighter to Lord of the Rings, The Evil Dead, Jurassic Park, and even SpongeBob. Lord of the Rings was the first full universes above the set, but set the Final Fantasy table last month, and we get full sets for both of you Spider-Man And Avatar: The last airway Later this year.
The new Sonic Magic: Carming cards are different from the Final Fantasy set of the game, as these are secret products of Lair-Limited drops of several cards, instead of a full set of hundreds of standard legal cards. That means you can't build decks for most Sonic tournaments. Like many Secret Lair crossover products, these cards seem to be aimed at the format of Casual Multiplayer Commander that allows you to build decks around your favorite characters and play with a group of friends.
Sonic to be a legendary creature with white manna, blue manna and red manna in his color identity, means that the Sonic Commander deck allows you to include his allied tails, knees and Amy Rose in the deck. The shade costs a red and black manna, which means it does not fit into the deck of Sonic Commander, but it would fit into the deck of D -Ecman.
And, gang, these cards are an axis wild. Whenever Sonic attacks, it puts counters to increase the power of other beings with flash or rush, which not so conical involves all the aforementioned allies that fit into its deck. And Sonic, having the possibility of rush, means that it can attack the same twist you threw, practically guaranteeing one activation. The tail can draw cards when flying vehicles enter – a nice kiwi next to his plane, which first appeared in the late stages of Sonic the Hedgehog. Knuckles a lot, including the ability to create wealth tokens that can help you throw magic – or simply win the game if you have enough.
There is also a certain mechanical synergy between these cards and new Final Fantasy cards. Amy Rose automatically attaches the equipment when she attacks and then can use the power of other creatures, making a great fit for Limited deck to the break commander Led by Cloud (or TIFA), which takes care of equipment and electricity statistics!
Similarly, Dr. Egman should draw cards at the beginning of your final step – if you control and Y'shtola Rhul From the critically valued MMO Final Fantasy XIV, you get an extra step on the step, allowing you to draw two cards instead of one for the low, low cost to end your order.
All this adds to mechanical fun magic cards that have a favorite character for life. And, it will be added financially if I can get my hands or collection Sonic: Friends & Foes ($ 40) or a non -foil collection ($ 30), cards that are less likely to distort from foil treatment.
Two more Sonic Secret Lair Drops are announced, including the one that focuses on reprinted artifacts such as vehicles and equipment and others that round out existing cards that syring with new cards. Both will be available in $ 40 foil or US $ 30 versions. All three Secret Lair The sets go on sale on Monday, July 14, at noon ET/9pm.
When they do it, and I can't point out this enough, you have to go quickly to get them.
