Magic the Gathering and Fortnite crossover cards are out

WIZARDS of the Coast has released two new sets of Magic the Gathering cards based on the battle royale Fortnite.

The cards will be reskins of pre-existing Magic cards with art based around the popular multiplayer game.

There are two different sets of packs. One based on landmarks and locations, and one for spells.

The first set contains the five ‘basic land’ cards that are the most common cards in Magic; Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests.

Each of these are redrawn using locations from Fortnite as inspiration. 

The other pack contains seven cards based on existing spells, but renamed, and with new flavour text and art.

Wrath of God has been renamed ‘Shrinking Storms’. It has the tagline “Watch the skies”.

Dance of Many has been replaced with ‘Dance Battle’ featuring several popular Fortnite skins.

Etherium Sculptor becomes ‘Supply Llama’ which tells you, “Don’t worry, they want you to smash them”.

Grim Tutor has turned into ‘Crack the Vault’ which lets players know “You see a lock, I see an invitation”.

Triumph of the Hordes transforms into ‘Battle Royale’ saying “I don’t know how I got here, but I’ll be the last one standing”.

Smuggler’s Copter is now ‘Battle Bus’ and warns you “Don’t forget to thank the Bus Driver.”

Finally, Planar Bridge turns into ‘Cube’ and “Its power levels are off the charts”.

Both of these sets are only available to purchase for the next three days before they are gone forever.

You can get them in either regular or foil edition.

A regular set costs £30($35) while the foil packs are a bit more at £40($48).

There is also not much time left to complete this week’s Fortnite challenges which will earn you a tasty 15k XP each.

From cracking shields, to stopping the music at a rave, and even doing a sweet 360 while dismounting a wild animal there’s a lot of trials to take on.

Epic Games recently updated the battle royale with one of its strongest ever shotguns.

The Prime Shotgun became equippable in the latest patch alongside the fan favourite Stormbreak Pickaxe.
