Watch Post Malone play his $2 million ‘Magic: The Gathering’ card
Post Malone has stunned fellow players of Magic: The Gathering by actually laying his extraordinarily valuable "The One Ring" card down during a game, rather than keeping it locked away. The rapper and singer bought the card in 2023 for a rumoured $2 million (£1.5 million), and its worth stems from its total uniqueness as the only copy ever produced, making the decision to physically play it a genuinely startling moment for the game's community.
The card was pulled at random by a lucky player in Whitby, Ontario, three years ago before Post Malone acquired it from Canadian retail worker Brook Trafton, who said selling it was "life-changing". The moment came during his appearance on The Command Zone's Game Knights show, where co-hosts reacted with disbelief, with one noting it "should be in a museum or in a vault" and another admitting concern since "our insurance doesn't cover that card". Post Malone is a well-known Magic: The Gathering enthusiast who regularly partners with the game's publisher, Wizards of the Coast.
