Magic: The Gathering is getting another big Secret Lair collaboration with a major video game franchise, this time with Monster Hunter.
announced today In a very strange press release, the Monster Hunter Secret Lair Super Drop will be available from December 1st at 9am (PT) to December 22nd at 11:59pm (PT), but while supplies last, and these things tend to sell out quickly.
The collaboration includes four individual products, each priced at $29.99, with the foil version priced at $39.99. All of the cards involved are copies of existing Monster Hunter themed cards, with nothing mechanically unique or new. The press release contains some basic information about each drop, titled “Hunt,” “Hunter,” “Monster,” and “Monster II,” but there are no images of the cards yet.
hunting Focusing on non-creature spells, the theme revolves around “the horrific attacks that monsters from the Monster Hunter series can unleash.” Each color has a spell:

- 1x Snapshot: from Kushala Daora monster hunter 2
- 1x Village Ritual: Magnamalo and Tobi-Kadachi from monster hunter rise
