Sonic fans and Magic players, it’s finally here, Wizards of the Coast and SEGA have teamed up for a full-on Secret Lair x Sonic the Hedgehog crossover. This is the first time Sonic and his world appear in Magic: The Gathering, and the result is a fun, colorful mix of new cards and reimagined staples.
The full drop goes live July 14th at 9 AM Pacific / Noon Eastern, available through the Secret Lair website. Each drop comes in non-foil ($29.99) and foil ($39.99) options.
What’s in the Drop?
There are three separate bundles, each offering something different for collectors and players:
1. Friends and Foes

New card designs include:

A custom Treasure token featuring Sonic flair.
3. Turbo Gear
If you love artifacts, this drop is for you. Classic Magic equipment and artifact creatures get a Sonic universe makeover.
Reprints include:

Pre-orders run for a limited time starting July 14, so if you’re a Sonic or Magic fan (or both), it’s probably worth jumping on.
