Black Is Magic was a seven-card Secret Lair drop created for Black History Month, celebrating Black identity, history, culture, and community through artwork by seven Black artists. Each card explored a different aspect of Black life or Magic's own history, including family, spirituality, ancestry, fatherhood, and cultural traditions, while the artwork also featured characters such as Kaya, Teferi, and Shalai. Proceeds from the drop supported Black Girls CODE, helping fund programs in game design, digital art, and game development for girls of color.
The total value includes bonus cards only if all are guaranteed to be included.
