Magic: The Gathering has been doing crossover packs with various IP, and later this year, Avatar: The Last Airbender is joining those ranks. During this weekend’s MagicCon, Wizards of the Coast showed off its first card from the set dropping in late November.
Naturally, that card is a Legendary featuring Aang manipulating water, fire, earth, and air while in the Avatar State. On the flip side is him looking up at his Avatar Spirit, with artwork for both sides drawn by Airbender co-creator Bryan Konietzko, a process you can see below. For Magic players, the “Avatar Aang” side lets them draw a card whenever they bend one of the four elements and transform into Avatar Aang if all four are drawn by the current turn. Conversely, the “Master of Elements” side lets them “gain 4 life, draw four cards, put four +1/+1 counters on him, and he deals 4 damage to each opponent” at the start of each upkeep.

In its blog post, Wizards teased the Avatar set will let players “take a ride on a sky bison, channel the memories of past Avatars, and explore a world of untold wonders.” It follows the Final Fantasy set released earlier in June, which was already successful before it even hit stores, and the Spider-Man set dropping in September.
Wizards plans to unveil more information on Magic‘sAvatar: The Last Airbender set Tuesday, August 12, including mechanics and other cards from the set. The full collaboration will hit shelves Friday, November 21.
