In some instances, posters with art related to certain sets were released (e.g. (Urza's Saga, Champions of Kamigawa). [1]

In 2005, collectors and connoisseurs of fantasy art were be able to buy full-size, high-quality Magic art as part of the Limited Edition Collection (a.o. Shivan Dragon, Viridian Shaman). [2] Both the canvas and print pieces were hand-signed and hand-numbered by the individual artists.

Bags, belts and cuffs

In 2012, Red Monkey made several Magic-themed, hand-built leather accessories. Inspired by the rugged, lived-in character of vintage western wear and classic American motorcycle leathers, these were designed to break-in and get better with age. [3]

Several Magic calendars have been produced, featuring art from the sets. The first came out in the fall of 1994. [4]

Each coin is a one ounce 0.999 silver coin featuring iconic Magic art. [5] The back features the Niue Head of State, Queen Elizabeth II.
