Baldur’s Gate 3 fans are undoubtedly waiting as patiently as possible for the massive Magic: The Gathering – Secret Lair drop that’s coming later this month to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons, as two sets featuring characters from Larian Studios’ critically acclaimed game are set to release August 29th. While five reprints each with new borderless art featuring everyone’s favorite vampire spawn were revealed for the Astarion’s Thirst, Wizards of the Coast has followed up today by revealing the five cards for Karlach’s Rage through ScreenRant.
Considering Karlach is one of the major tanks available as a companion for Baldur’s Gate 3 and she’s a favorite of the player base due to her resilience and massive heart, her story constructed by Larian Studios consistently referred to as one of the of the most tragic in the game given her endings, it’s an obvious choice for Wizards to continue using the character wherever possible. It also really doesn’t get much better than seeing Karlach choking out some goblins on a M:TG card.
