Key Takeaways
- Chucky is joining Magic: The Gathering‘s horror-themed Duskmourn set for Halloween.
- The murderous doll will be featured as Kardur, Doomscourge in a Secret Lair drop.
As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the recent announcement by Wizards of the Coast about Chucky joining Magic: The Gathering’s Duskmourn set for Halloween is nothing short of exhilarating! Growing up watching slasher movies and playing Magic: The Gathering, I never imagined the two would intersect.
Wizards of the Coast has unveiled that Chucky, the famous doll from the Child’s Play horror series, will be part of the upcoming spooky-themed Duskmourn set in Magic: The Gathering. This notorious toy character is created by Don Mancini and joins a partnership with Ghostbusters for Halloween, as Chucky teams up with Magic: The Gathering.
Developed by Richard Garfield, this tabletop and digital collectible card game made its debut in 1993 as the pioneer of trading card games. Over the past three decades, it has released more than 100 sets, and its popularity continues to expand with the help of collaborations such as those with Fallout, Jurassic World, and The Lord of the Rings. However, concerns have been raised among fans regarding AI usage in products from Wizards of the Coast, a subsidiary of Magic: The Gathering’s owner Hasbro, which has sparked some controversy.
In a recent development, Chucky has been introduced as a character crossover for Magic: The Gathering, set to appear in a Secret Lair drop within the horror-themed collection. Wizards of the Coast unveiled the Duskmourn expansion in August, which draws on horror themes dating back to the 1980s. The upcoming Chucky Secret Lair set will rework five original Magic cards with references to Chucky. One such example is a double-faced card featuring the doll as Kardur, Doomscourge. Additionally, Tiffany, Bride of Chucky will be given a card in the form of Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire, and the artwork on the cards will depict iconic scenes from the slasher films.
Magic: The Gathering Adds Chucky to the Duskmourn Set
In the world of “Child’s Play”, Chucky is the central villain, transforming from an ordinary doll into a lethal toy when possessed by the spirit of a murderer following a voodoo ceremony. Since its initial release in 1988 under the direction of Tom Holland, this franchise has expanded to include six sequels, comic books, video games, and a TV show featuring Brad Dourif reprising his role as the menacing doll. Mark Hamill provided Chucky’s voice in the 2019 remake. This year, “Child’s Play” isn’t just crossing paths with “Magic: The Gathering”; it has also made an appearance in Behaviour Interactive’s multiplayer survival horror game, “Dead by Daylight”, with a new charred Chucky skin, and once again, Dourif lends his voice to the character.
This year, Wizards of the Coast is offering horror enthusiasts a treat, while gamers are not being left out either. The latest collaboration between Magic: The Gathering and Assassin’s Creed has sparked excitement for Ubisoft’s upcoming November launch of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. In August, an Assassin’s Creed deck was released that showcases well-known characters, settings, and artifacts from the video game series.
