Mana-loving Dungeons & Dragons fan rejoice: Wizards of the Coast has recently announced that a set of five new Magic: The Gathering card sets are coming in late August 2024 as part of the ongoing 50th anniversary D&D celebration. The new DnD-themed cards will be released under the Secret Lair banner, the official MTG sub-brand that includes limited product launches (known as “drops”) featuring unique artist and brand collaborations.
Notably, this isn’t the first time that DnD has appeared in Magic: The Gathering, with Wizards of the Coast previously releasing both the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set and the Battle for Baldur’s Gate Commander expansion, as well as Secret Lair dropping a DnD set that tied into the 2023 Honor Among Thieves film.
So what can fans expect in this latest MTG DnD drop? Below, we break out all the details.
What’s included in the new MTG DnD Secret Lair drop?
There will be five total Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair DnD drops as follows:
- Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons: An Exhibition of Adventure
- Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons: Astarion’s Thirst
- Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons: Karlach’s Rage
- Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons: Death is in the Eyes of the Beholder I
- Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons: Death is in the Eyes of the Beholder II
Notably, the DnD MTG drops feature a number of characters from Baldur’s Gate 3, including the vampire rogue Astarion and the Tiefling Barbarian Karlach.
How Much Are the New MTG DnD Secret Lair Cards?
Each Secret Lair DnD drop will retail for $29.99 USD, with the Foil Edition going for $39.99 USD. Notably all of the drops will be available on the D&D Beyond marketplace as well as the Secret Lair website, and you may also be able to get your hands on them at select local game stores.
When Will the New MTG DnD Secret Lair Drop be Available?
The Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons 50th Anniversary Superdrop will be available on August 27th, 2024, coming out a week before the new 2024 Player’s Handbook early access release.
As with other Secret Lair releases, the DnD drops do have a limited quantity, so if you are interested you’ll be probably want to snag them quickly before they sell out as the cards often spike significantly in value on the secondary market and on eBay.
