February is Black History Month dedicated to the celebration of Black people, their stories, and their achievements. It’s also an opportunity to showcase some of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering’s Black characters as re🍃created by some extrem🔯ely talented Black artists.
Enter , the upcoming Secret Lair drop for Magic: The Gathering💖. Black is♛ Magic will have seven cards with all-new art from seven Black artists that each take their own unique take on a classic Magic icon.
Starting with KNIIO who decid🎀ed to show a very different side of Teferi, Hero of Dominaria. This card shows Teferi as a father rather ꦑthan a warrior in an oddly heartwarming piece.
Next is Dani Pendergast who reimagined Kaya, Ghost Assassin with a bett💯er wardrobe immediately following the War of the Spark.
Ernanda Souza's Shalai, Voice ♑ofไ Plenty is truly awe-inspiring, while Ejiwa ‘Edge’ Ebenebe's version of Ponder will surely replace this blue staple in as many decks as possible.
Cultivate was redone by Hillary Wilson, Path of Ancestry was remade by Julio Reyna, and Thomas Z🦂enteno's Sol Rink reimagines the classic artifact if it were originally created by the Maasai tribe.
As with previous Secret Laid drops, the regular set of seven cards will cost ꧑$39.99, while the foil versions will sell for $49.99. Pre-orders are available now until March 31 with a reﷺlease date set for April 15.
Unlike previous Secret Lairs, proceeds for each sale of Black is Magic will go towards supporting Black ไGirls CODE, an organization t📖hat aims to increase the number of Black women in digital industries.
Magic has certainly come a long way in a short period of time. It was only last June that Wizards of the Coast formally banned and even removed from their digital archives a list of six cards 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:that have extremely racist origins, including Cleanse, S🐎tone-Throwing Devils, Pradesh Gypsies, Jihad, Imprison, and Crusade. The company even went as far as apologizing for their initial printings.
Black is Magic might not eliminate Magic's past, but it🅰 is certainly a step in the right direction.
