In an exciting announcement for fans, Magic: The Gathering has teamed up with Ubisoft Singapore to celebrate the release of their new Assassin’s Creed-themed set. An exclusive play session is scheduled at Ubisoft’s office on 19 July at 7pm, following the set’s release on 5 July.
Participants in this unique event will have the opportunity to engage with the new Magic: The Gathering – Assassin’s Creed set first-hand. To qualify for one of the limited 50 invites and win an incredible prize pack, participants must:
- Crack a minimum of three #MTGACR packs and play a game in-store.
- Share a photo of their gameplay experience with the opened packs on Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #MTGACRSEA.
The deadline for entries is 15 July, 11.59pm SGT. Attendees are required to bring their own Commander decks to the event. All invitees will receive a special playmat designed by artist Lie Setiawan and four Beyond booster packs.
The Assassin’s Creed set, part of Magic’s Universes Beyond series, promises to incorporate characters from across the franchise’s storied universe. Notable assassins from titles like Black Flag and Assassin’s Creed III are expected to be featured, bringing a blend of historical and fictional narratives to the playing field.
Controversy often surrounds reprints, but they provide new players the opportunity to acquire pivotal cards, now reimagined with fresh artwork and themed after Assassin’s Creed‘s iconic weaponry. This set will not only revisit fan-favourite characters but also introduce cards in several languages, including Greek script for characters like Cleopatra, enhancing the authenticity and collectibility of the cards.
A standout feature of the set is a six-card montage that recreates a classic vista of Rome with the character Ezio, a nod to the game’s rich visual storytelling. This ambitious design aims to surpass previous thematic sets like Outlaws of Thunder Junction, offering fans a uniquely immersive experience.
Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts and Assassin’s Creed fans alike can look forward to a blend of nostalgia and novel gameplay as this event at Ubisoft Singapore brings the best of both worlds to the table.
Interested parties may purchase the new Magic: The Gathering – Assassin’s Creed set on Amazon.
