Magic: The Gathering is getting a collection of PlayStation cards as part of an upcoming Secret Lair Superdrop next month.
Sony and Wizards of the Coast showed off a portion of the new gaming crossover cards coming to MTG with a PlayStation.Blog post. The announcement, which coincides with MagicCon Atlanta, comes with a first look at cards from fan-favorite video game franchises like God of War, The Last of Us, Uncharted, Horizon Forbidden West, and Ghost of Tsushima, with a release date for the latest Secret Lair collaboration set for October 27 at 9 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. ET.
“Every card from each Secret Lair pack features iconic characters, key locations, and items reimagined as Magic: The Gathering cards,” PlayStation vice president, network advertising, loyalty and licensed merchandise said. “Wizards of The Coast worked closely with Naughty Dog, Santa Monica Studio, Guerrilla, and Sucker Punch Productions to capture the spirit of each game and bring them to life with stunning art and cards with unique mechanics.”
Both The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part 2 are represented in the MTG PlayStation Secret Lair Superdrop. For the original Naughty Dog experience, MTG players can pick up the Legendary Creature cards Joel, Resolute Survivor and Ellie, Brick Master, with the second game highlighted with Legendary Creature cards Abby, Merciless Soldier and Ellie, Vengeful Hunter. Uncharted also snuck its way into the expansion, with Nathan Drake, Treasure Hunter also available.
God of War fans, meanwhile, can find cards representing both Kratos’ Greek and Norse eras. It means the god-killer himself can be seen wielding both the Blades of Chaos and his Leviathan Axe, while Atreus shows up with his bow.
The last two cards revealed as part of the MTG PlayStation Secret Lair Superdrop are the Aloy, Savior of Meridian Legendary Creature card and the Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima Legendary Creature card.
Wizards of the Coast has dabbled in other gaming universes for MTG collaborations in the past. Its Fallout set is just one of the more notable examples, with other Secret Lair sets including cards based on Assassin’s Creed, Tomb Raider, and Sonic the Hedgehog.
It’s been a big day for MTG fans. Wizards of the Coast took to MagicCon Atlanta to show off all of the sets it has planned for 2025 and 2026, showing off six of the seven expansions it has in the works. These include a return to familiar worlds with The Hobbit and Marvel Super Heroes sets, as well as a new Universes Beyond set featuring Star Trek.
