The recently announced MTG Cowboy Bebop collaboration had anime-loving Magic players on the edge of their seats. While no one expected to see this sci-fi Western cult fav meld with one of the best card games, that certainly doesn’t mean we’re complaining either. However, that just made it all the more tragic that the Cowboy Bebop sleeves and playmats wound up only being available in Japan.
Thankfully, Wizards of the Coast have confirmed that fans elsewhere in the world will be able to get their hands on limited edition MTG Cowboy Bebop cards featuring Outlaws of Thunder Junction characters. In order to be in with a chance of getting these cards, you’ll have to win a Standard Showdown at your local WPN (Wizards Play Network) store.
Each prize card is a traditional foil of a spell from Magic: The Gathering’s history restyled with Cowboy Bebop-inspired art of Outlaws of Thunder Junction characters. They’re all mono-colored too, meaning that they cumulatively cover the entire MTG color-pie. If you have your eye on one card in particular, you’ll have to plan ahead, as each item in the promo will see a staggered release from August 2, 2024 to April 4, 2025.
