Mitsuhiro Arita's Legendary Artistry Expands to Magic: The Gathering
Renowned for his iconic Pokemon TCG illustrations - including the legendary Charizard card - Mitsuhiro Arita now brings his artistic vision to Magic: The Gathering through a stunning new Secret Lair collection. We're excited to reveal all four cards from this special release.
Explore the complete card gallery below:
While Arita previously contributed a borderless Lumra, Bellow of the Woods illustration for Magic's Bloomburrow set last year, this release marks his first multi-card showcase for the game.
The selection features impactful cards across multiple formats. Lightning Bolt remains a format staple wherever legal, while Murktide Regent continues dominating Modern and Legacy since its 2021 debut. Light-Paws enjoys popularity as a Commander favorite, and Shorikai ranks among the top 20 most-played commanders while being a Vintage Cube staple.
Wizards of the Coast describes the collection: "With three decades of trading card artistry, Mitsuhiro Arita's work has become globally recognizable. Following his acclaimed borderless Lumra in Bloomburrow, this Secret Lair Drop showcases his signature creature designs across four exceptional Magic cards."
Following standard Secret Lair practices, this limited release will be available in:
- Non-foil version: $29.99
- Foil version: $39.99
