Wizards of the Coast has announced that its next Secret Lair <\/i>event will be an unusual crossover with AMC’s The Walking Dead<\/i>. From October 4th<\/sup> to 12th<\/sup>, players can pre-order a set of limited-edition, unique Magic <\/i>cards with exclusive art that depicts TWD<\/i>‘s cast of characters.<\/p>\n

The cards are said to bring “unique gameplay and text,” so this won’t simply be a batch of relabeled standard Magic <\/i>cards with TWD <\/i>characters instead of angels or wizards. (Which is a shame, as Daryl Dixon would make a great Llanowar Elf<\/a>.) The cards will even be tournament-legal in Magic<\/i>‘s Legacy, Vintage, and Commander formats.<\/p>\n

Wizards of the Coast calls its monthly-ish Secret Lair <\/i>events the “best worst-kept secret” in Magic<\/i>. Each pack of cards in a Secret Lair <\/i>is a single print run of cards based on a particular theme, with alternate art provided by either new artists, or returning Magic <\/i>artists working in different ways. Previous Secret Lairs <\/i>have included curated groups of cards with themes like cats, dogs, slimes, and International Women’s Day.<\/p>\n

The Walking Dead<\/i>-themed Secret Lair <\/i>is scheduled to open for pre-order on October 4th<\/sup>, which is intended to coincide with the start of AMC’s “We are the Walking Dead Weekend,” a three-hour event that includes the long-delayed finale<\/a> to TWD<\/i>‘s tenth season, the premiere of the new TWD <\/i>spinoff World Beyond<\/i>, and a new episode of Talking Dead<\/i>. One of the topics of discussion on Talking Dead <\/i>will be the TWD Secret Lair<\/i>, which includes an unboxing and preview of the included cards.<\/p>\n

The actual cards in TWD<\/i>‘s Secret Lair <\/i>are planned to be revealed one at a time over the next few weeks, leading up to the night of the 4th<\/sup>, although one card will be kept a secret until such time as fans are able to buy the set and discover it for themselves.<\/p>\n

This is a relatively rare event for Magic<\/i>, which doesn’t do a lot of official crossovers. A previous Secret Lair <\/i>event in May was a collaboration with the Toho Corporation themed around Godzilla, which carried on from Godzilla’s appearances in the new 2020 Magic <\/i>set<\/a> Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths<\/i>. The “Godzilla Lands” pack contained a new set of Magic<\/i>‘s five basic land cards, with Japanese text and kaiju-themed illustrations.<\/p>\n

Wizards of the Coast also produced a promotional set of three Magic <\/i>cards last October that were based on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic<\/a>, <\/i>with all proceeds from it going to the Seattle Children’s Hospital via Extra Life. There are also three cards created for the HasCon fan convention in 2017 that feature a Nerf gun, Grimlock from the Transformers <\/i>franchise, <\/i>and a d20-themed “Sword of Dungeons & Dragons<\/i>” artifact. Unlike the TWD <\/i>set, all six cards are silver-bordered, which indicates they aren’t tournament-legal and are just for fun.<\/p>\n

This is only the second real crossover for The Walking Dead <\/i>as a franchise, which usually keeps to itself. Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s Negan<\/a> is a DLC character for Tekken 7, <\/i>however, which is still kind of weird to contemplate a year later. Of course, with the TWD-<\/i>themed Secret Lair, <\/i>this offers the very real possibility that some of the big names in TWD<\/i>‘s cast might end up as legendary creatures in Magic<\/i>. As the play conceit of Magic <\/i>is that players are powerful dimension-spanning wizards who summon monsters and allies to do battle with each other, this opens up the beautiful possibility that, somewhere in the world, a game of Magic <\/i>will involve Michonne vs. Mechagodzilla. What a time to be alive.<\/p>\n

The Walking Dead<\/i>-themed Secret Lair <\/i>will be available for pre-order on October 4th<\/sup> for US$49.99.<\/p>\n
