Magic: The Gathering finally gave players their first look at the complete Stranger Things Secret Lair drop.
The limited-edition set features a variety of characters from Netflix's beloved original series. Fans of both franchises who purchase the Secret Lair drop can look forward to characters like Will the Wise, Mike, the Dungeon Master, Lucas, the Sharpshooter and Eleven, the Mage. Each character is given a small title to denote one of their unique moments seen within Stranger Things. Everyone except for Chief Jim Hopper who is simply named as such. Beyond the show's core cast of characters, the latest Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair also includes a card dedicated to the Mind Flayer, a creature that derived its name from Dungeons & Dragons, and Joyce Byer's wall of Christmas lights.
"The mysteries of Hawkins and the Upside Down have come to Magic: The Gathering! This drop features eight brand-new cards and a unique Clue token," reads the official description of the Secret Lair. "Call upon some of your favorite characters from the show and apply their unique talents in unforgettable games. Whether you view them as Commanders or collectables, this drop is perfect for the biggest Stranger Things and/or Magic fan in your life—especially if that fan is you!"
Magic: The Gathering previously promised fans that they would be treating the Stranger Things Secret Lair drop differently from previous crossovers. Since the new cards belong to a limited-edition set, the publisher will be printing in-world Magic: The Gathering versions of the cards to ensure fair play in most formats of the game.
The Stranger Things crossover is part of Magic: The Gathering's "Universe Beyond" series, which takes popular franchises and turns them into unique cards. Previous crossovers include The Walking Dead and Godzilla. Fans wanting more Secret Lair drops have plenty to look forward to as Wizards of the Coast previously confirmed that franchises like Street Fighter, Fortnite, Lord of the Rings and Warhammer 40,000 will feature in the collectible card game.
The Stranger Things/ Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair drop is available to pre-order now. Fans looking to get their hands on the special set will need to head to Wizards of the Coast's official website between 9 a.m PT Oct. 18 and 9 a.m. PT Nov. 15 if they wish to secure their set.
