What is Post Malone's favorite MTG card?
Post Malone is no stranger to displaying his enthusiasm for Magic: The Gathering. He'd previously paid $800,000 for an Alpha Black Lotus Card, Christopher Rush's rarest and most precious MTG card.
The Black Lotus is commonly recognized as the most expensive and desired non-promotional card in Magic: The Gathering history. In the early Alpha and Beta set days, it was common for players to build decks with 20 Black Lotus cards because they cost no mana to play and let players add three mana of any hue to their mana pool before discarding them.
Malone has previously appeared in an episode of the YouTube series Game Knights and hosted the Mana Y Mana tournament, in which the artist battled against a random opponent on a live broadcast for $100,000.
