Nerf, or NERF, is a toy brand currently owned by Hasbro. Most of the toys are a variety of foam-based weaponry, with other Nerf products including balls for sports such as American football, basketball, and baseball. Their best-known toys are their dart guns (referred to by Hasbro as "blasters") that shoot ammunition made from "Nerf foam" (partially reticulated polyether type polyurethane foam). Their primary slogan, introduced in the 1990s, is "It's Nerf or Nothin'!"

Nerf Lightning Bolt blaster

The Nerf LMTD Lightning Lair dart blaster

In 2023, Nerf teamed up with Magic: The Gathering's experimental sub-brand Secret Lair by creating a special edition Nerf blaster.[5] The Nerf LMTD Lightning Lair dart blaster includes 2 exclusive playable Lightning Bolt Secret Lair promo cards. Inspired by the classic art from these cards, the blaster features lightning bolt deco and unleashes a triple-dart blast to duplicate the 3 damage dealt by the Lightning Bolt card. The Lightning Lair blaster includes 2 shells that each hold 3 darts. When you fire the blaster, the shell releases all 3 darts simultaneously. The blaster has a break-open barrel to load the shell and a pull-back priming handle. Everything comes in premium packaging that’s perfect for display, if you choose to showcase this bolt of blaster brilliance in your Magic collection instead of breaking it out for Nerf dart outdoor battles. The cards are housed in their box, which is designed to capture the look of Magic deck boxes.
