MagicCon: Chicago--the latest Wizards Of The Coast's Magic: The Gathering-themed convention--kicked off today, and at the traditional day one preview panel, Wizards Of The Coast showed off new cards for multiple sets due to launch in 2024. One of them is a collaboration with Assassin's Creed, and we got a first look at Ezio, Altair, and more.
Multiple cards were revealed featuring characters from Ubisoft's stealth-action franchise, with Ezio Auditore da Firenze, Altair Ibn-La'Ahad, and Eivor from Assassin's Creed Valhalla among them. The set will also feature cards based on the game's interpretations of real-world historical figures, with Cleopatra and Leonardo da Vinci shown as examples.
Other cards revealed include the Animus, which is used to travel back in time and re-live the life of the Assassins, and the Hidden Blade, an Assassin's favorite weapon. The panel also revealed a card called Haystack, a reference to an Assassin's favorite hiding spot.
