Magic: The Gathering proprietor Wizards of the Coast and Paramount have introduced the following large crossover coming to the favored card sport. Are you prepared, youngsters? Yeah, its SpongeBob meme playing cards.
On March 10, Wizards of the Coast introduced that the long-running animated TV present SpongeBob SquarePants is the following franchise to cross over with Magic. There are three SpongeBob drops in all, one made up of playing cards that characteristic screenshots and art work impressed by well-known on-line SpongeBob memes, together with a brand new model of the favored card Counterspell that can sport art work of the well-known(?) “Mocking SpongeBob” meme.
The playing cards might be out there to buy on March 24 on Magic’s Secret Lair net retailer as a part of its ongoing “Universes Past” model. These new SpongeBob playing cards are simply reskinned pre-existing Magic playing cards and can be utilized in customary play. The playing cards are being offered for $29.99 for normal variations and $39.99 for foil editions.
I’ll admit that whereas I knew Magic: The Gathering had been doing crossovers with stuff like Spider-Man and The Lord of the Rings for a while now, the primary second I noticed the SpongeBob playing cards, I used to be shocked. Actually, I believed they have been jokes created by some grumpy Magic followers bored with all of the Fortnite-like IP crossovers. What satisfied me they should be faux was the truth that most of them characteristic what seem like screenshots of memes slapped on pre-existing playing cards. That appeared just like the form of lazy transfer somebody on the web would do when making a joke picture. (It’s one thing I’ve executed loads of occasions!)
However nope, these are actual and might be launched later this month. And primarily based on how briskly previous crossovers have offered, these SpongeBob MTG playing cards will probably promote out in minutes and be offered on eBay and different websites for a fairly penny. So when you actually, actually, desperately need to add SpongeBob or Patrick to your Magic deck, then you definitely’d higher be on-line the second the playing cards go up on the market on March 24 at 9 am PST. And good luck.
