Magic: Gathering's SpongeBob-themed Cards Embody the Essence of the Ultimate Internet Joke

In an unexpected yet delightful collaboration, Magic: The Gathering is teaming up with the beloved animated series SpongeBob SquarePants for a product launch like no other. The launch, named "Secret Lair x SpongeBob SquarePants", is set to hit the shelves on March 24 at 9 a.m. PT.

This exciting venture brings together the magic of card gaming and the charm of Bikini Bottom. The product line includes three distinct parts: "Secret Lair x SpongeBob SquarePants: Internet Sensation", "Secret Lair x SpongeBob SquarePants: Legends of Bikini Bottom", and "Secret Lair x SpongeBob SquarePants: Lands Under the Sea".

"Secret Lair x SpongeBob SquarePants: Internet Sensation" features a symbolic image from the episode "That Sinking Feeling", originally aired in 2010. This particular artwork, which has become a source of meme material for many, is created by artist Tyler Walpole.

"Secret Lair x SpongeBob SquarePants: Legends of Bikini Bottom" showcases characters from the show with art by Caleb Meurer and Gregg Schigiel. On the other hand, "Secret Lair x SpongeBob SquarePants: Lands Under the Sea" explores familiar locations from the show through art by Jon Vermilyea.

While "Secret Lair x SpongeBob SquarePants: Internet Sensation" is not part of the "Legends of Bikini Bottom" or "Lands Under the Sea" product launches, fans can enjoy it in both foil and regular editions. The set also includes an image from the episode "That Sinking Feeling" as part of the collection.
