The Legendary Artwork of Frank Frazetta Is Coming to Magic: The Gathering

The cards of Magic: The Gathering have spent decades bringing horrifying monsters, incredible vistas, and mystical spells to vivid life, earning the game a veritable gallery rich with fantasy art. But now, the legendary card game is going to celebrate another equally legendary body of artwork.

io9 has your first look at the next drop on Wizards of the Coasts’ Secret Lair site, a dedicated store for limited time special card collaborations between Magic: The Gathering and a wide range of others, including Fortnite and Warhammer and artists such as Metal Gear icon Yoji Shinkawa and Junji Ito. Celebrating the work of sci-fi and fantasy maestro Frank Frazetta, the new drop will feature five cards reprinted with iconic pieces of classic Frazetta artwork, selections inspired by the original cards.

The five cards in the set include the white creature Field Marshal (which you can see above), the red sorcery Seize the Day, the blue sorcery Temporal Manipulation, the black instant Dark Ritual, and the black creature Midnight Reaper. Each card in the collection, aside from having Frazetta’s art on it, has been unprinted in standard Magic sets for quite a while. In Field Marshal’s case, it’s been 15 years since it was last widely reprinted in the 10th edition set! Check out the four remaining cards in the drop below.

14 of Rick and Morty's Most Excellent Season 4 Moments

In episode nine, “Childrick of Mort,” Rick fought a god when they both fell for the same woman. Er, planet. That moment doesn’t make our list, but it’s still a damn good one. Screenshot: Adult Swim It’s still hard to believe—after so many lengthy delays between previous seasons —that season five of Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty is almost upon us. While we count down the moments until the Emmy-winning series returns on June 20, we thought we’d also look back on season four, highlighting 14 of our favorite and most memorable moments (in no particular order... though we do have one very top favorite, as you’ll see) involving mostly Rick and Morty—but also Summer, Beth, Jerry, and Rick and Morty ’s creatively deployed guest stars too. “Why can you talk?” Screenshot: Adult Swim The A-plot of episode four, “Claw and Hoarder: Special Ricktim’s Morty,” follows the adventures of Rick, Morty, and Summer as they attempt to rescue Morty’s “slut dragon,” Balthromaw, from an evil wizard. ...

Screenshot: Kyodo News/YouTube With the Valley of Witches set to open March 16, Ghibli Park will finally be complete. Since 2022, the attraction—nestled in the Expo 2005 Aichi Commemorative Park in Nagoya, Japan—has unlocked realms inspired by Studio Ghibli’s legacy of films . But it’s not to be mistaken for a modern theme park; Hayao Miyazaki himself mandated that the experiences offered at Ghibli Park should evoke being in a Ghibli movie without disturbing the natural surroundings. So it’s more of a throwback to nostalgic attractions and walkthroughs with a carnival ride flair. Inspired by films including My Neighbor Totoro and Spirited Away, the first phase of opening kicked off two years ago, with other areas opening as they were completed. With the Valley of Witches, which features attractions inspired by Howl’s Moving Castle and Kiki’s Delivery Service, among others, the theme park will finally be open in full beginning March 16. Media outlets such as Kyodo News were able...
