Post Malone is putting a hundred thousand dollars on the line for any MTG fan who could beat him in Magic the Gathering on Whatnot.

Post Malone, rapper and big Magic: The Gathering fan, is putting where his mouth is and challenging a fan on a one-on-one planeswalker duel for a chance to win $100,000. All of this will be happening on Whatnot through Post Malone's page. Make sure to make a Whatnot account if you want to challenge the rapper himself, as the lucky fan will be chosen through the platform.

Post Malone will be choosing his opponent through a Whatnot Livestream on August 4. If the winner is unfamiliar with Magic: The Gathering, Whatnot will enlist expert Reid Duke to help train the participant before battling Post Malone IRL. On August 11, viewers can tune into the Whatnot app for the live play-by-play narrated by Josh and Jimmy of The Command Zone to capture all the exciting gameplay.

“I absolutely love Magic: The Gathering and I can’t wait to link up with Whatnot and battle it out with the winner,” says Post Malone.

Whatnot will also be hosting Magic: The Gathering giveaways with special guests, and audience interactions in the hour leading up to the event on August 11.

The “Mana Y Mana: The Post Malone Magic Battle” will be split into 2 separate events, as shown below:
