Magic: The Gathering’s Secret Lair Drop Series is a collection of limited-edition special print featuring cards with exclusive artwork and designs from outside the general Magic universe. The cross-property collaboration has become quite common for Magic. Earlier this year, Godzilla monsters turned up in the Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths set. In March 2020, it celebrated International Women’s Day with five borderless cards curated and created by women. They also feature My Little Pony and Transformers. Magic will be releasing an official Dungeons & Dragons set in 2021.
