Get ready to embrace the spooky season with Magic: The Gathering’s upcoming Halloween-themed Secret Lair drop, featuring five cards inspired by the notorious Slimer. This mischievous character from the Ghostbusters franchise brings a unique kind of dread that fans are sure to appreciate.
These cards are not new creations but rather alternate versions—think of them as “skins”—for existing cards in the game. This series has previously collaborated with various franchises like League of Legends and Lord of the Rings. Now, Slimer joins the ranks alongside other notable characters, bringing his distinct charm to the table.
The card names alone evoke a mix of amusement and discomfort:
- Slimer, Voracious Apparition (The Mimeoplasm)
- Slimed (Trickbind)
- Escape Containment (Incarnation Technique)
- Slimer’s Feast (Windfall)
- Pernicious Deed (which retains its original name, fitting perfectly with Slimer’s gluttonous persona)
The artwork for these cards is designed to be vividly grotesque, capturing Slimer in all his unfiltered glory. From his enthusiastic consumption of a chicken leg to his excessively drooly tongue, the illustrations don’t hold back. You’ll witness everything from his cheeky expressions to cake smeared across his face, emphasizing his unapologetic love for food.
In addition to Slimer, this drop will also feature Chucky from the classic horror film Child’s Play, appealing to those with a fear of dolls. Fans can look forward to this quirky and slightly unsettling collection arriving on September 30.
