Tomb Raider and MTG crossover includes an all-new Lara Croft commander card

Lost Caverns of Ixalan isn’t even officially released, but that won’t stop Magic: The Gathering from dropping a surprise crossover with a major video game franchise, such as Tomb Raider. IGN revealed a seven-card Secret Lair drop that includes a mechanically unique Lara Croft creature that’s sure to delight commander players. The Secret Lair Secretversary Superdrop launching next week will include five cards reprinted with new art and names pertaining to locations and items from the popular action-RPG video game series that most recently rebooted in 2013 and has been ongoing since then. These include Seach for Azcanta as Heart of the Explorer (Azcanta, the Sunken city becomes The Lost Valley on the reverse side), Anger of the Gods as Storms of Yamatai, Bow of Nylea as The Grim Whisper, Shadowspear as Totec's Spear and Academy Ruins as Kitezh, Sunken City. Rounding out the drop is a unique Treasure token that will pair perfectly with Lara Croft, Tomb Raider - a mechanically unique card that will only be available as part of the Secret Lair drop. A 3/4 legendary creature in Temur's Red, Green and Blue Mana colours, she can exile a legendary artefact or land from the controlling player's graveyard when she attacks and slap a discovery counter on it. That player can play cards from exile as long as they have discovery counters on them, evoking Lara's preternatural ability to dig up treasures often thought lost to time. Just to round out the kit, she also carries a tongue-in-cheek Raid ability. Read more
