If you're a Magic: The Gathering player who's also a Minecraft geek, you'd love the latest content available for Minecraft players. Minecraft.net just announced the new Magic: The Gathering skin pack available now for Pocket and Windows 10 Edition, and it's heading to video game consoles soon.
The developers have designed new models depicting our favorite Planeswalkers like Jace, Ajani, Chandra, Nicol Bolas, and more. The "Spaghetti Monster", Emrakul, is even included. It's amusing to see these characters in Minecraft-style designs. It's just like seeing our favorite Star Wars characters in LEGO form.
One of the Minecraft artists who designed this pack said:
"The Magic pack was an interesting challenge reconciling the complexity of the characters with the simplicity of Minecraft, but incredibly rewarding to see them come to life in our style. Each character is intricately detailed, so it was imperative that we focused on their most iconic features in order to make them immediately recognizable as their awesome pixelated selves. I myself am a complete lore-hound (is that a real term? I'm making it one) so it was especially fun working within the extensive lore the world of Magic the Gathering had to offer."
That's cool that she's not just focused on the visual details of the characters but also cares about their lore. Some of Magic's characters are incredibly detailed, and I could imagine that making them distinguishable in Minecraft form and making sure some details aren't missed could be challenging.
