Magic the Gathering‘s upcoming Pride Across the Multiverse expansion will celebrate its queer community, also donating 50% of its purchase price to LGBTQ suicide prevention and crisis intervention organisation The Trevor Project.
“Pride Across the Multiverse is a celebration and reflection of how far we’ve come, what it took to get here, and what still lies ahead,” said Art Director Stephanie Cheung.
“From the start, we wanted this Secret Lair to celebrate the LGBTQIA2S+ community’s relentless creativity. There was no way this collection of eight cards would represent EVERY aspect of the community, but we wanted to honor the hope and joy found in our multifaceted identities,” Cheung continued. “It is our hope that people find some part of their own unique selves reflected in these cards.”
Each card in the drop not only celebrates the queer community, but was illustrated by a queer artist.
“I looked for artists across the spectrum of LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC identities; having a breadth of artists is an important part of celebrating the diversity of our community and experiences,” Cheung added.
The cards are part of Wizards of the Coast’s Secret Lair collection, which offers up alternate versions of existing cards. They’re priced at $39.99 USD (non-foil) or $49.99 USD (traditional foil) and include a total of eight cards as follows:
- 1x Borderless Alesha, Who Smiles at Death
- 1x Borderless Bearscape
- 1x Borderless Collective Voyage
- 1x Borderless Heartbeat of Spring
- 1x Borderless Mana Confluence
- 1x Borderless Savor the Moment
- 1x Borderless Sol Ring
- 1x Borderless Triumphant Reckoning
The set will begin to take orders from 5 May; it will be available for purchase from that time until 30 June.
