Runeterra's Magic - The Final Cards in the Arcane Secret Lair

Gaming of all kinds is a deep love for us here at Apotheosis Studios. When we say bye to our friends after a tabletop roleplaying session, and there isn't too much work to do, we can fire up our PCs and consoles for adventure, action, and anything in between. Or, if you're like me, delve deep into the strategy of trading cards.

We've talked at length about the titan of TCG's on this blog before. Magic the Gathering has informed my imagination as a writer and mechanical know-how as a gamer. The frequency of my playing it has come and gone, but it will always be there. When Magic brings in an IP I love as much as Riot Games' Arcane series, how could I not love it?

Arcane Secret Lairs

In a past article, I've talked about the characters and scenes from the Arcane TV series making their way onto upcoming Secret Lairs Magic cards. To sum up, Secret Lairs are a small collection of cards that get a special collector's reprint and design rework.

The themes have been mixed from historic, to iconic, to hilarious. This time, scenes depicting our favourite Arcane characters and scenes have arrived.

We saw the majority of the cards before, but the final three are here, and I can understand why they chose to hold these back. Two of the three of them depict Vi, our favourite future law enforcer, in her signature power gloves. We didn't see these until the final drips of the show, and it makes sense to want to hold off on them.

Seize the Day has its place in Red aggressive Commander decks, while Krosan Grip is tech against pesky Artifacts and Enchantments.

Duress, with the shattered mirror, is an excellent depiction of Jinx's madness. She puts herself under mental duress until the dramatic conclusion of the show brings her into a state where she embraces the crazy.

This Secret Lair is on sale right now, and I really cannot resist.

Now we want to hear from you. What other IP do you want to make into Secret Lairs? Have you dabbled in the League of Legends card game, Legends of Runeterra? Let us know in our discord server or in the comments below.
