Magic: The Gathering Launches Surprise Deadpool Secret Lair For “April ‘Pools Day”

Occasionally, an announcement that seems like it could be an April Fool’s prank actually turns out to be true. For instance, just a week after they released limited-time drops featuring SpongeBob SquarePants, Wizards of the Coast unexpectedly announced a new Secret Lair drop centered around Deadpool, the talkative anti-hero from Marvel Comics.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that this exclusive five-card bundle offers a fresh take on four classic MTG cards, each adorned with Deadpool’s iconic art and witty dialogue, breaking the fourth wall just like our favorite Marvel hero does! The fifth card in this set is truly special – it’s a one-of-a-kind creature card designed specifically for Deadpool, marking the first mechanically unique Secret Lair card since Lara Croft, Tomb Raider back in 2024.

The five cards in the Deadpool Secret Lair drop are as follows:

  • Deadpool, Trading Card (Legendary Creature – Mutant Mercenary Hero)
    • Costs two generic, one red, and one black mana to cast
    • 5 power/3 toughness
    • As Deadpool enters, you may exchange his text box and another creature’s.
    • At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 3 life.
    • Pay three generic mana and sacrifice this creature: Each other player draws a card.
  • Deadly Rollick
  • Blasphemous Act
  • Saw In Half
  • Vandalblast

In this new partnership between Marvel and Magic: The Gathering, Deadpool is included among the superheroes getting special themed releases from the Secret Lair collection. Alongside Captain America, Wolverine, Black Panther, Storm, and Iron Man, Deadpool will have a unique drop. On the other hand, Spider-Man is set to receive a complete standard set in September, which comes with booster packs, Welcome Decks, and additional items.

The Magic: The Gathering Deadpool Secret Lair is available now on the Secret Lair website.
