Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair x Sonic the Hedgehog Collaboration Announced by Wizards of the Coast and SEGA

Wizards of the Coast, a subsidiary of Hasbro and the creators of Magic: The Gathering, has officially teamed up with SEGA to launch an exciting new collaboration: Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair x Sonic the Hedgehog.

Announced today, this partnership brings together the legendary trading card game and SEGA’s beloved Sonic universe in a trio of exclusive Secret Lair drops.

Designed to celebrate both long-time Magic: The Gathering players and the vibrant Sonic fanbase, these unique card collections present a fast-paced crossover experience with new, original artwork and creative card designs.

The limited-time releases will be available for purchase beginning July 14, 2024, while supplies last. The Secret Lair x Sonic collection encompasses three specially curated drops—Friends & Foes, Chasing Adventure, and Turbo Gear—each offering a fresh perspective on both Magic: The Gathering and Sonic the Hedgehog staples.

Let’s break down what fans can expect from each drop. Secret Lair x Sonic: Friends & Foes This inaugural set features seven brand-new card designs showcasing iconic Sonic the Hedgehog characters.

Wizards of the Coast has collaborated with acclaimed artists, including several making their Magic: The Gathering card debut, to portray characters such as Sonic himself, Knuckles the Echidna, Amy Rose, Dr.

Eggman, Miles “Tails” Prower, Shadow the Hedgehog, and a special Super State card.

The result is a vibrant fusion of the Sonic universe’s charm with Magic’s iconic gameplay. Secret Lair x Sonic: Chasing Adventure The second drop, Chasing Adventure, reinvigorates seven classic Magic: The Gathering cards—each reimagined with a Sonic twist.

Fans can look forward to unique takes on cards like Generous Gift, Open the Armory, Fabricate, Deadly Dispute, Unexpected Windfall, and the ever-popular Sol Ring, along with a specially illustrated Treasure token.

These collectible cards promise innovative deck-building options and a playful nod to Sonic’s adventurous spirit. Secret Lair x Sonic: Turbo Gear Turbo Gear explores the world of Sonic by reinterpreting some of Magic: The Gathering’s legendary artifact cards.

This collection not only stands on its own but is also designed to be thematically paired with the Friends & Foes drop.

Highlights include The Reaver Cleaver transformed into “Knuckles’s Gloves,” Swiftfoot Boots as “Air Shoes,” Myr Battlesphere as “Egg Hammer,” Hammer of Nazahn as “Piko Piko Hammer,” Lightning Greaves as “Power Sneakers,” Weatherlight as “Tornado, Sonic’s Biplane,” and a Myr token styled as “Egg Pawn.” With this announcement, Wizards of the Coast continues its tradition of innovative collaborations through the Secret Lair program, offering players and collectors limited edition Magic: The Gathering cards with celebrated pop culture brands.

SEGA’s participation further underscores Sonic the Hedgehog’s enduring cultural legacy, which has spanned multiple hardware generations—from classic consoles to the Nintendo Switch—and captivated millions of players across the globe.
