Legendary Pokemon TCG Artist Rejoins Magic: The Gathering
Mitsuhiro Arita, renowned for his iconic artwork in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, including the coveted Charizard card, is now bringing his talents to Magic: The Gathering through a new Secret Lair drop. Fans can get an exclusive first look at all four cards featured in this collection.
Flip through the gallery below to see all the cards in Arita's Secret Lair:
While Arita isn't new to Magic: The Gathering, having previously contributed a borderless art version of Lumra, Bellow of the Woods in last year's Bloomburrow set, this Secret Lair marks a significant expansion with four new cards introduced shortly after his initial offering.
The cards in this drop are not just visually stunning but also hold their ground in various Magic formats. Lightning Bolt, a staple in many decks, is widely played across multiple formats. Murktide Regent has proven its prowess in both Modern and Legacy since its debut in Modern Horizons 2 in 2021. Light-Paws, another fan favorite, excels as a Commander, while Shorikai has carved out a niche in Vintage Cubes and ranks as the 20th most popular Commander according to EDHRec.
Wizards of the Coast highlights this Secret Lair on their store page, stating, "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."
As with all Secret Lair drops, this collection will be available on the Secret Lair website in non-foil for $29.99 and foil for $39.99, available only while supplies last. The drop goes live on Monday, February 10 at 9am PT. Given the rapid sell-out nature of recent Secret Lairs, especially since Wizards of the Coast shifted from a timed print-to-order system, eager collectors should be ready to purchase as soon as the drop becomes available.
