Secret Lair
Secret Lair is the party inside the party at Magic: The Gathering, combining everything we love about MTG with all the stuff in pop culture that inspires us. Each product puts a new spin on fan-favorite cards and might even be something entirely new. Think collabs with all kinds of artists, styles you’ve never seen on a Magic card before, and crossovers with characters and partners from across pop culture bringing their stories into Magic (we call these products Universes Beyond).
