《神奇宝贝》卡牌艺术家回归《万智牌》

Mitsuhiro Arita, a renowned artist behind countless Pokémon Trading Card Game illustrations, including the coveted Charizard, is now lending his talent to Magic: The Gathering. His latest contribution is a Secret Lair drop featuring four stunning cards, and we have an exclusive preview.

View the gallery below to see all four cards from Arita's Secret Lair:

This isn't Arita's first foray into Magic; he previously illustrated a borderless Lumra, Bellow of the Woods, for the 2024 Bloomburrow set. However, this four-card Secret Lair represents a significant expansion of his involvement.

The selected cards boast considerable playability across various formats. Lighting Bolt is a staple across numerous formats, while Murktide Regent has proven highly effective in Modern and Legacy since its Modern Horizons 2 debut in 2021. Light-Paws is a popular Commander choice, and Shorikai enjoys popularity in Vintage Cubes and ranks among the top 20 Commanders overall according to EDHRec.

Wizards of the Coast's store page describes the drop as follows: "With nearly 30 years of experience creating beloved art for trading card games, Mitsuhiro Arita’s work has become some of the most recognizable in the world. His first collaboration with Magic: The Gathering was on a borderless Lumra, Bellow of the Woods released in 2024’s Bloomburrow, which quickly became a fan-favorite. In this Secret Lair Drop, the legendary artist returns to showcase his iconic creature design across four remarkable cards."

This Secret Lair will be available on the Secret Lair website, priced at $29.99 (non-foil) and $39.99 (foil), while supplies last. The sale begins Monday, February 10, at 9 am PT. Given the quick sell-outs of recent Secret Lairs since the shift away from the print-to-order system, interested buyers should act swiftly.
