Magic The Gathering: Transformers Secret Lair Superdrop – Here’s What’s Inside

Magic The Gathering’s Secret Lair drops allow players to pick up specialty cards at a premium. Many times, they are reprints of older cards with new art, and other times, they are entirely brand-new cards. However, launching on the Secret Lair site, beginning on December 5, is a brand-new Secret Lair set that feels like an extension of variant cards from the recent set The Brothers’ War. That’s right, Magic is dipping back into Transformers, and here’s everything in the new Secret Lair drop.

The Superdrop consists of three Secret Lair drops: One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall; Optimus Prime vs. Megatron; and Roll Out or Rise Up. Individually, these packs cost $30 for regular and $40 for foil. You can also buy all three together for $89 for normal or $119 for foil.

But it’s all about what’s inside the box, right? Like typical Secret Lair drops, the Magic the Gathering cards contained in the drop are separated into the three previously mentioned sets. First up is the land cards, and a quick look at the packaging inside..

There are six cards in total in this set: Mountains, Swamp, Forest, Island, Plains, and a secret card (not shown). It features art from David Sondered and Joana LaFuente.

The next set is Roll Out or Rise Up, a six-card set featuring instant, sorcery, and enchantment cards–plus one secret card (again, not shown). Check out the images below–featuring art from Volta Creation–and we’ll go over what each one does.

Finally, there’s Optimus Prime vs. Megatron, which features three double-sided cards–and that one previously-mentioned secret cards. The card stats and information are the same on both sides. It’s all just about if you want your card to be an Autobot or automobile. Check them out.
