An official Magic: The Gathering Monster Hunter Secret Lair is happening. The iconic characters from Capcom’s acclaimed action RPG series are making the jump to Wizards of the Coast’s acclaimed card game, bringing some monstrous fury to the table.
The Magic: The Gathering Monster Hunter Secret Lair Announcement
In a press release, Wizards of the Coast confirms that they will be releasing a Magic: The Gathering Monster Hunter Secret Lair superdrop that will go on sale starting on December 1, 2025, and ending on December 21, 2025. That superdrop will include four drops of cards featuring the ferocious beasts of the Monster Hunter series.
The first drop, aptly named Secret Lair x Monster Hunter: The Hunt, focuses on the devastating attacks the terrifying monsters can unleash. As such, it reimagines noncreature spells with some larger-than-life characters. The cards in the drop are as follows:
- Blind Obedience (Featuring Malzeno and Qurio)
- Snap (Featuring Kushala Daora)
- Village Rites (Featuring Magnamalo and Tobi-Kadachi)
- Mizzium Mortars (Featuring Yian Garuga)
- Tooth and Nail (Featuring Azure Rathalos and Seregios)
Drop number two of the Magic: The Gathering Monster Hunter Secret Lair superdrop focuses on the brave ones who hunt these monsters. Each card features a unique set of armor and weapons, which are the key to progression throughout the Monster Hunter series. The drop contains the following:
- Grand Abolisher as Dual-Bladed Hunter
- Archeomancer as Hero of Hoarfrost Reach
- Grim Haruspex as Nargacuga Stalker
- Imperial Recruiter as Bherna Huntmaster
- Champion of Lambholt as Champion of Kotoko
The third and fourth drops place the monsters centerstage, reimagining nine of the franchise’s most iconic beasts as Legendary Creatures. Those cards are the following:
- Nezahal Primal Tide as Lagiacrus, Lord of the Seas
- Drakuseth, Maw of Flames as Rathalos, King of the Skies
- Ziatora the Incinerator as Fatalis, the Black Dragon
- Vaevictis Asmadi, the Dire as Nergigante, Herald of Destruction
- Sarulf, Realm Eater as Zinogre, Lord of Lightning
- Razaketh, the Foulblooded as Gore Magala, Dark Eclipse
- Kalamax, the Stormsire as Brachydios, Brutish Indigo
- Wasitora, Nekoru Queen as Nargacuga, Ever-Present Shadow
- Amareth, the Lustrous as Velkhana, Silver Sovereign
At the time of writing, no MSRP has been displayed for the Magic: The Gathering Monster Hunter Secret Lair drops. Though given how consistent other Secret Lair crossovers (Sonic The Hedgehog, The Office, etc.) have been priced, there’s a good chance non-foil will be around $30 and foil will be around $40.
