Despite Marathon’s status as the hot new game everybody seems to be talking about, Bungie still has a lot of developmental power invested in Destiny 2’s ongoing support. In addition to announcing the upcoming Guardian Games that begin on March 24, Thursday’s This Week in Destiny blog post also confirmed a surprising new collaboration for the game. But Destiny 2 x Magic: The Gathering is not the specific crossover content I am personally looking for.
“Destiny 2 is teaming up with Magic: The Gathering for a very special crossover that introduces armor sets inspired by legendary Planeswalkers alongside a collection of Exotic cosmetics celebrating both worlds,” Bungie says.
Titans get the Flamecaller Set inspired by Magic’s firebrand Planeswalker Chandra Naalar. It’s an inspired look, particularly with the goggles and the flaming hair. If I were a Titan, I would rock this in a split second and never take it off. For the Hunters, there’s the Mindsculptor set inspired by Jace Beleren, one of Magic’s major power-players who seems like he’ll wind up being a major villain later this year as part of the Reality Fracture set due out in October. Finally, Warlocks get the Death’s Majesty Set inspired by the necromancer Liliana Vess.
Also available as part of the crossover will be the Promised End exotic ghost shell inspired by Emrakul; Grand Praetor exotic ship; Voice of Hunter 7/6 exotic sparrow inspired by the Phyrexian Vorinclex; a finisher inspired by Magic’s iconic Overrun spell; a Sol Ring exotic emote; another emote that simulates igniting a Planeswalker spark; and a shader pack that focuses on Magic’s five land colors.
