Beadle & Grimm’s have announced the unveiling of five luxury Magic: The Gathering mana token sets inspired by the five mana colors. Having previously released the HERE BE DRAGONS Secret Lair Drop and token sets for The Wilds of Eldraine and Bloomburrow, the Beadle & Grimm’s team plans to bring these Mana Token sets for DTC and Game & Hobby Retail sales this fall. The sets feature dice, counters, and a life tracker themed around each color as well as unique art by Magic artist Justine Jones.
Tap into the mana of Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains and Forests with these officially-licensed sets housed in tins featuring original art by Magic: The Gathering artist Justine Jones. Grab your set of choice and bring all the accessories you need to the table for an epic battle of spells and creatures.
“As a devoted Magic: The Gathering player, I love being able to bring accessories to the table that both help me manage the game and immerse me in the amazing art of the talented artists who make Magic more than just a card game,” said Paul Shapiro, Beadle & Grimm’s lead on the series. “These sets give players another way to show off what kind of player they are and the mana they tap into for their power!”
Justine Jones is the fan favorite Magic: The Gathering artist best known for her Kaleidoscope Killers Secret Lair Drop from 2019. Creating some of the most memorable card art of the last few years, her intensely-detailed, hyper-colorful style was the perfect choice to bring the five iconic mana symbols to full and vibrant life.
“When Beadle and Grimms reached out to me for this project, I was so excited! ,” said Justine Jones, the illustrator. “It was a very fun challenge to try and focus each tin on its respective color, while still staying true to my style that usually uses a LOT of different colors. I tried hard to sneak in little elements on each piece that represent the corresponding mana, and had a really fun time with it! I hope you enjoy these, and feel that I was able to do your favorite color justice!!Thanks for letting me be a part of your game.”
