MTG: This Is My Junji Ito Secret Lair, It Was Made For Me
Japanese horror legend Junji Ito comes to Magic: the Gathering with a Secret Lair that threatens to spiral out of control.
Junji Ito is a master of horror. From the haunting spirals that curse a town in Uzumaki (which has nothing to do with the orange clad Naturo character), to the rising tides of Gyo, to the stretchy terror that is Amigara Fault, Ito has created a chilling body of work.
He’s also done a surprisingly delightful and touching tribute to the lives of his cats. Imagine people complexly.
And now, he’s bringing his signature style to the horrors of Magic: the Gathering in a brand new Secret Lair.
Technically it’s two Secret Lairs. You can acquire this in either English or Japanese (and decide how foily you want it).
Junji Ito Secret Lair – $29.99
If you’re a horror fan, this is your drop! It was made for you! Master of manga Junji Ito has partnered with Magic to send shivers down your spine. Each card is rendered in his signature black-and-white style and is guaranteed to garner screams of fear and jealousy in equal measure when played at the table. Pick up these collection-ready Borderless cards in English or Japanese, as well as in non-foil or Foil-Etched!
There are four cards in the set. Which is probably the legal limit before they run the risk of terrifying your life points away before the game even begins.
Each one of these cards is a full-art rendition of a classic Magic card. Starting here with Carrion Feeder.
Only Junji Ito could make a 1/1 zombie as terrifying as this. That carrion seems especially fresh wouldn’t you say?
Ito’s Doomsday tells a whole story in a single card. You can see the demon moon descending on the hapless town beneath, as fiends revel in the destruction.
Plaguecrafter has never looked so good. Or plague-y.
Finally Thoughtseize looks exactly as it feels. All your best stuff, just sucked away from your body so fast you implode in defeat.
Junji Ito’s Secret Lair is up for pre-order through November 14th
