    In Mystery Booster 2, one of the playtest cards refrences Drake Stone, named 'Stone Drake'. It's two abilities upon entering are Distract and Enthrall, both being one for one to cards made for the film. The Stone Drake is even Blue/Black color wise, matching it's namesake's fictional Planeswalker card.

    With stuff like the hot pocket and ihop "collab" I was always surprised they never did anything like that sooner. Like back in the day, I remember seeing pokemon soup, pokemon blankets, pokemon mcdonalds toys. So I don't see why magic couldn't get have some weird grocery store collab

    If you don't count alpha flavor text and Arabian Nights (especially City in a Bottle being a Sandman reference), the first crossover would have been Nalathni Dragon (as a reference to Dragonriders of Pern).
    Library of Leng is also a reference to Lovecraft, and Frankenstein's Monster to Frankenstein. Albert Einstein also appears on Presence of the Master in Legends. Oh, and Portal Three Kingdoms is also based on a novel (and, at this point, cultural cross-franchise). There's also quite a few random video game references in Odyssey block (Mortal Combat, Need for Speed, etc...), but those are just veiled references.

    Another odd collab that appeared relatively recently was the one with Gong Cha, a boba tea chain store that started in Taiwan.
    For the release of Dominaria United a couple of years back, the Australian branches of Gong Cha did a promo where they had boba tea flavors themed after characters like Ajani, Jaya and Liliana. I'm personally not crazy about boba myself, but I have a friend of mine who loves it and lamented not being able to get it because we live in New Zealand.

    MTG crossover with Lego. Lego has D&D; now Magic will have a Bloomburrow style set where characters are minifigures in the Lego multiverse. All Lego cards have "bulid" mechanic where they can combine like mutate and enchantment creatures. A deconstruct mechanic sacrificing creatures to give brick counters that can be used for +1+1 counters or mana to cast spells. Lego already has tons of legendary characters that could be made into cards. The basic setting is Lego city but there will be precon Commander decks of Lego Space, Castle, Ninjago some other popular series. Some reference cards to technic sets like Bionicle and mini dolls sets Friends and Bellville. The potential for easter eggs is unlimited.

    • @ernestlam5632

      I don't think this would ever actually happen because magic the gathering is not kid friendly enough. Lego doesn't mind a little fantasy violence but they don't like blood and gore and they don't allow guns for the most part. The huge difference in art style is a little bit of a challenge and I don't think you'd ever want to change the Lego art style because whenever you do it looks terrible . A universe is beyond would make more sense than actual. I probably wouldn't want it on shelves next to Pokemon cards because I don't think that they want to confuse little kids. Unless they leaned into the kid friendly elements. You did a whole Lego set with a beginner mindset for the younger player. Turn the basement comes its own thing like a magic the gathering Little League. Compounding the feeling of separation from the whole game that the art style would already have created. And lastly the Lego building mechanic would logically only work with other Lego cards creating a sliver type of situation. But that would also make it hard to use them with other decks separating it even more.
