As a long-time fan of both Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming MTG Secret Lair x D&D 50th Anniversary Superdrop! For nearly five decades, these iconic games have transported us to fantastical realms, fostering countless hours of camaraderie, strategy, and escapism.

Wizards of the Coast has revealed that the MTG Secret Lair x D&D 50th Anniversary Superdrop will be released on the 27th of August, 2024. Here’s some crucial information for fans considering a purchase of this unique drop.

MTG Secret Lair x D&D 50th Anniversary Superdrop

The upcoming MTG Secret Lair x D&D 50th Anniversary Superdrop includes five exclusive limited editions, each commemorating 50 years of Dungeons & Dragons. These special releases highlight the game’s rich history by showcasing beloved characters such as the bloodthirsty vampire rogue Astarion, the valiant warrior Karlach, and the vigilant Beholder.

Without further ado, here’s a full list of all five drops coming out by the end of August:

Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons: An Exhibition of Adventure
Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons: Astarion’s Thirst
Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons: Karlach’s Rage
Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons: Death is in the Eyes of the Beholder I
Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons: Death is in the Eyes of the Beholder II

For almost 50 years, Dungeons & Dragons has captivated fans with its unique gameplay, bringing friends and family together in fantasy adventures. The World’s Greatest Roleplaying Game has amassed over 50 million fans, who have enjoyed it through video games, novels, comics, roleplaying games, and accessories. Now with this epic celebration, fans can look back at the past five decades of D&D through Magic: The Gathering cards.

Price

As a game enthusiast, I’d like to share some insights about the drops. Each one comes with its unique collection of cards. So, you’re looking at roughly five to six cards per drop. Take the Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons: Astarion’s Thirst drop for instance, it’s likely to include cards that depict Astarion or are associated with the vampire. Yet, there might be a few cards in the mix that aren’t connected to the drop itself. For now, we can only anticipate as Wizards of the Coast unveils all the cards.

Regarding the pricing, a single drop costs $29.99, while the Foil Edition of each drop is priced at $39.99 per piece.

Fans of Magic: The Gathering (MTG) can check out the official website of MTG Secret Lair for information regarding the release date and methods to buy the commemorative collection.

Revealed Cards

Currently, at the point of this explanation, Wizards of the Coast has disclosed that there will be merely two new cards joining the upcoming set. Interestingly enough, these two cards are reissues from the Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s Gate collection, which was released in the year 2022.

Over time, I can’t help but feel a sense of anticipation as we, the fans, uncover more secrets. For now, let me share a sneak peek at the two cards that will be making a comeback in the MTG Secret Lair x D&D 50th Anniversary Superdrop.

Astarion, the Decadent

Astarion, the Corrupt, is a powerful legendary being that costs 6 resources (4 common, 1 white, and 1 dark), possessing Deathtouch and Lifelink abilities.

At the beginning of your end step, choose one —

Feed — Target opponent loses life equal to the amount of life they lost this turn.
Friends — You gain life equal to the amount of life you gained this turn.

Karlach, Fury of Avernus

In simpler terms, Karlach, Wrath of Avernus is a legendary creature that costs five mana (four of any color and one red). When you attack during the very first combat phase of your turn, all attacking creatures become untapped. They possess the ability called “first strike” until the end of that turn. Notably, following this initial combat phase, an extra combat phase is added to the turn.
