Today, we here at Bleeding Cool have a real treat for you. From their secret lair in Seattle, Wizards of the Coast entrusted us with a secret of our own – something we wouldn’t be allowed to tell you about until now. Are you ready for this? Here we go:We are happy to announce Secret Lair’s newest drop for Magic: The Gathering: “Full Sleeves”!That’s right, folks, it’s a new Secret Lair drop for Magic: The Gathering! For the greater part of May, we’ve seen tons of people inquiring online about when this will come to light, knowing full well that we were the ones to eventually spill the ink, so to speak. This Secret Lair drop is called “Full Sleeves”, and it features five tattoo-themed illustrations on cards that have a similar theme to them. And much like a child with a new, healing tattoo, we needed to let the news mature before telling anyone publicly. But enough about our process; let’s show you some of those gorgeous cards!Spell Pierce, the first of our Secret Lair previews for Magic: The Gathering!One of our previews for Secret Lair’s “Full Sleeves” drop: Blood Artist!Another one of our previews for the “Full Sleeves” Secret Lair drop: Eternal Witness!Pithing Needle, another one of our Secret Lair previews for Magic: The Gathering!The last of our Secret Lair previews for Magic: The Gathering, Inkmoth Nexus!For this Secret Lair drop, Wizards of the Coast collaborated with Chicago-based tattoo master Joshua Howard of Pioneer Tattoo to bring this uniquely-stunning set of five cards to life.
