Wizards of the Coast has officially announced an exciting crossover that brings two fan-favorite worlds together — Magic: The Gathering and Sonic the Hedgehog. This collaboration is part of the Secret Lair drop series and introduces high-speed nostalgia into the classic card game format. For longtime fans and collectors, the Sonic the Hedgehog Secret Lair set promises to be both a powerful addition to decks and a must-have collectible.
What’s Inside the Sonic the Hedgehog Secret Lair?
The Sonic the Hedgehog Secret Lair collection features iconic characters from the Sonic universe, including Sonic himself, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Dr. Eggman, and Shadow. These beloved characters are reimagined as playable Magic cards with custom artwork that reflects their vibrant, energetic personalities.
The set includes reprints of existing MTG cards but with brand-new Sonic-themed artwork and names. While no new mechanics are introduced, the reskins make these cards visually unique and appealing to both players and collectors. The flavor text and card names are full of clever Sonic references, from chili dogs to Chaos Emeralds.
Crossover Details and Collector Options
The Sonic the Hedgehog Secret Lair will be available in both foil and non-foil editions, giving collectors flexibility based on their preferences and budget. As with other Secret Lair drops, this release will be time-limited, so fans will need to act fast — just like Sonic.
The cards won’t be tournament-legal under new design rules, but they remain fully playable in casual formats like Commander. For those more interested in displaying them than playing, the unique card art and slick packaging will make for a stunning showcase.
When and Where to Buy
Pre-orders for the Sonic the Hedgehog Secret Lair go live soon on the official Secret Lair website. As usual, the print window will be limited, typically for a few weeks, after which the set will no longer be available for direct purchase. Prices vary by edition, but expect it to follow previous Secret Lair trends.
Shipping is expected to begin a few months after the pre-order window closes, which is standard for all Secret Lair drops.
Why This Drop Matters for Fans
This collaboration isn’t just about adding cards to a deck — it’s a celebration of decades of Sonic history. For fans of Magic: The Gathering, this is a chance to inject some personality into their decks. And for Sonic fans, it’s a collectible piece of the franchise’s expanding legacy.
The Sonic the Hedgehog Secret Lair marks another creative fusion of pop culture and trading card gaming, further solidifying Secret Lair as a hub for fan-driven crossovers.
