  "account": "Magic: The Gathering is reintroducing a powerful sword from its past with pixel art that pays homage to classic video game consoles. The Sword of Truth and Justice, first released in 2019, is returning as part of the new Secret Lair collection, Rise of the Polygons | Extra Life 2026. The collection, announced on November 3, features four reprinted cards and an Elemental token, with half of the purchase price going to children's hospitals. The $39.99 non-foil collection includes Balefire Dragon and other valuable reprints, making it an appealing option for collectors and players. Sword of Truth and Justice, a three-mana artifact, grants its equipped creature +2/+2 and protection from white and blue, plus the ability to proliferate counters whenever it deals combat damage to an opponent. Balefire Dragon, a seven-mana, 6/6 flying Dragon, deals damage equal to its combat damage to all creatures controlled by the player it attacked. Both cards together are worth around $45, exceeding the $39.99 price of the collection. Collectors can purchase the collection online from November 16 to November 30, with proceeds supporting Extra Life and Seattle Children's Hospital.",
