Cardsmiths Series 4 – Black Lotus #40 – Ruby 14/25
The Ruby variant of Black Lotus from Cardsmiths Series 4 immortalizes the crown jewel of trading card history — the most iconic and valuable non-sports card ever printed. Numbered 14/25, this piece radiates rarity and prestige with its deep ruby finish, representing the pinnacle of collectible power.
Originally appearing in the Magic: The Gathering Alpha Set (1993), the Black Lotus quickly achieved mythical status for its unmatched gameplay advantage — allowing players to generate three mana of any color instantly. Its immense power led to an early ban from official play, only heightening its legendary status among collectors.
High-grade authentic copies of the Black Lotus have commanded auction prices exceeding $3 million, making this tribute card a fitting celebration of gaming’s ultimate grail.
