Brain Dead introduces its latest collaborative project that is designed alongside [Wizards of the Coast's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-the-gathering-1) Magic: The Gathering for the latest Edition 3 collection. The capsule is made up of seven silhouettes in total -- this comprises five [graphic tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-and-sea-x-uno) and two caps.

The brand dives into the themes of the magical game, which is essentially a [trading card game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-the-gathering-x-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles) that uses a plethora of iconography and rules that are seen by the Turn Structure, the Stack tee, and the Hypergraphic. The new collection delivers tees that have a beige, black, or white base foundation. These are then detailed with graphics over the front that highlight the game. The two caps are done in black and have detailed over the front -- these are now all available to shop online.
