Magic: The Gathering Announces "Secret Lair: Smitten", And We Are!

On February 10th, Wizards of the Coast announced their newest Secret Lair superdrop for their ever-popular trading card game Magic: The Gathering, just in time for Valentine's Day. It's called Secret Lair: Smitten, and, as expected, we are in love with it! Alongside this announcement came a surprising sub-announcement nestled within, and we will get to that announcement when it becomes pertinent, but for now, here's what the Smitten superdrop as a whole entails!

Secret Lair: Faerie, Faerie, Faerie Rad

This drop is only available in foil, but looking at the cards and how their art corresponds to a certain ethereal iridesence, it's not hard to see why. This is similar to how during the previous superdrop some drops were only available in foil with others only in nonfoil.

Faerie, Faerie, Faerie Rad comes with foil versions of the following cards, at a price-point of $39.99 USD:

  • Glen Elendra Archmage
  • Mistbind Clique
  • Spellstutter Sprite
  • Vendillion Clique

Secret Lair: The Unfathomable Crushing Brutality of Basic Lands

This set of five basic lands* shows the unbearable metal heaviness of Kaldheim's environment and brutalist culture. Available in nonfoil for $29.99 USD or foil for $39.99 USD, these basic lands will be a centerpiece for most any dedicated landbase. Players may want to acquire multiples of this set for that reason.
