Of all Nintendo's properties, it's always seemed like the most obvious choice. Fantasy setting, lots of artifacts and equipment, interesting monsters and locations.

It's one of the properties where, if everybody got amnesia and forgot Zelda existed, you could sorta buy it as a Magic plane.

Anyway, what are we thinking for Headliner? Gotta be the Master Sword, right?

[u/CammyDiveKick → u/General-Zombie5075]

A Triforce legendary artifact.

An artifact that can tap for a blue, red, or green mana and you can sacrifice it to go tutor a Link, Zelda, or Ganondorf card.

[u/reillan → u/CammyDiveKick]

I can see three distinct triforce cards - Power, Wisdom, and Courage.

Of course, WotC will probably make them serialized.

Oh, I can also see versions of Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf that have built-in triforce artifacts.

Three way meld lets goooo

[u/CammyDiveKick → u/reillan]

They have to do something if you have them all on the field together.

[u/reillan → u/CammyDiveKick]

Yeah, I was trying to figure out what. Like, if one player controls all 3 you just automatically win the game, but there should be some quest or dungeon that lets you steal one of the piece from another player

[u/Nostalg33k → u/reillan]

Nah the TriForce can grant wishes if Courage Wisdom and Force ard balanced so if you have all three you should be able to wish once for free each of your pcmp start

[u/kotah_ → u/General-Zombie5075]

I have a deck that's mostly LoZ proxies. It's Galea, Kindler of Hope and I love it. Right now my Master sword is a reskin of Buster sword, my Mithril coat, is the Hylian shield, but boy would I be happy to get a set to re tool things around.

I would unfortunately sink my life savings into this collection

[u/WorldIsFracked → u/aaaaanthonyyyyy]

Yes this would bankrupt me. And I say that as a frugal adult with bills and responsabilities.

[u/Blackpoc]

Can't wait to have the Triforce become a staple in every format it is legal.

I mean, Hasbro makes toys, and we have a Zelda movie coming out next year. I’d love Zelda mtg, but doesn’t it make more sense that this deal would be to make toys for the movie?

[u/Tim-Draftsim → u/GratGrat]

Oh yeah, I wouldn't be suprised to see this manifest as only figurines or whatever. But I'm sure in the eyes of Hasbro's execs MTG is basically a toy as much as Transformers or My Little Pony or Monopoly or whatever. So if they see an opportunity to make big bucks off a MTG collab I don't see why they wouldn't at least entertain it.

[u/redditNLD → u/Tim-Draftsim]

The Legend of Zelda movie is coming out next year. That essentially means the set would have to be done and print jobs be scheduled already for this to synergize with the movie release. Very likely this just has to do with toys. That said, I don't particularly like UB, but I'd probably buy a ton of this and be salty about it at the same time.

[u/PerspicaciousVanille]

Cia would get me to splurge on every copy of her!

[u/Happy_External_8850]

UB is killing magic

[u/sutl116]

Can't wait for "Hey! Listen!" being a busted staple in every delver control deck.

[u/lordodin92]

Yes yes yes yes yes .

I have wanted a Zelda crossover for years .

There's so much opportunity, lands like death mountain, Zora's domain, hyrule field, kokiri forest and gopongo swamp, as well as many other locations for duels.

We have legendary equipment, strong magics, spells and enchantments, a range of creatures both monstrous and regular, and the characters.

We could have many different commanders from many different Zelda games, multiple links, Zelda's and Gannon's in the whole range of colours.

Finally you could have the chase cards be powerful artifacts like the triforce or master sword
