Wizards of the Coast trots out a brand new MTG Secret Lair on a month-to-month foundation at this level, and whereas crossovers aren’t something new for the franchise, this new ‘superdrop’ brings Jim Henson’s Labyrinth and KPop Demon Hunters to the cardboard sport for the primary time.
Wizards of the Coast has simply introduced the Corn Maze Superdrop, clearly in time for Halloween, however as a substitute of going with a darker horror twist prefer it did with the Junji Ito drop, all of those collections are comparatively lighthearted. After all, for most individuals, the largest attracts would be the KPop Demon Hunters and Labyrinth drops – the latter of which has three collections – together with a Marvel Zombies assortment.
The three Labyrinth drops are the spotlight of the Corn Maze Superdrop, although. The Secret Lair x Jim Henson’s Labyrinth Concern Me, Love Me drop is solely centered on Goblin kindred playing cards, and is headlined by Muxus, Goblin Grandee, a Goblin Staple, posing as Jareth, Goblin King with an exquisite illustration of David Bowie. After all, there’s additionally a duplicate of Declare the Firstborn as The Kidnapping of Toby. For some cause, although, this drop additionally has a duplicate of Trinisphere, which does not actually match into any conceivable goblin deck, however no less than it has some cool artwork of Bowie holding a bunch of orbs.
It would not be a Secret Lair Superdrop with out some nigh-unreadable playing cards, and that is the place the Secret Lair x Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: By means of the Labyrinth is available in. The artwork on these playing cards are all attractive, although I might completely see a few of them being arduous to parse from throughout the desk. Nonetheless, Wizards determined to print Leveler on this drop, which you’ll be able to mix with The Beamtown Bullies or Thassa’s Oracle to make your pod want they have been dropped within the Labyrinth.
There’s additionally a KPop Demon Hunters drop, which has some unimaginable playing cards with combo potential. This one comes with a duplicate of Freed From The Actual and Underworld Breach, each of which will likely be infamous in decks which might be constructed round them. There is a cause Breach has been banned in a number of codecs, in spite of everything.
And Wizards remains to be attempting to work extra Marvel content material into Magic, this time with a Marvel Zombies drop that is centered on Zombie kindred playing cards. However, as cool as it will be to have a commander deck helmed by Zombie Thor or Zombie Scarlet witch, not one of the playing cards on this drop are actually well worth the excessive worth you would be paying for them, until you actually love Marvel Zombies.
A number of the different drops are severely cool, too. The Manufactured Grounds by See Machine drop brings some unimaginable artwork to the unique artifact land cycle from Mirrodin. That drop in all probability would not make numerous sense from a purely monetary perspective, however rattling, does it look cool. Then there’s the Peace, Love and Treefolk drop, which supplies Timber Protector its first significant reprint moreover the Lord of the Rings commander decks.
I am in all probability going to choose up all the Labyrinth drops, and if you wish to seize one (or all) of them too, the Corn Maze Superdrop will likely be obtainable beginning at 9am PT / 12pm ET on October 12. Wizards of the Coast will even toss in a Labyrinth-flavored copy of Maze of Ith on any order over $199.
