Magic: The Gathering has been running Secret Lair drops for a long time now, and we’re basically getting at least one per week in 2026.
These limited drops have been contentious, to say the least. Wizards of the Coast can print to demand when it wants to, but other times it feels like it’s only scalpers and scammers that win out.
Still, purchasing mechanisms aside, there’s one Secret Lair drop I can’t stop thinking about: the Monster Hunter Superdrop.
Monster Hunter likely needs little introduction to you, the discerning IGN reader, but the action RPG franchise is one of my favorites and has been since 2018’s Monster Hunter: World.
As you can imagine, the announcement of a Secret Lair for the series, including the iconic monsters, weapons, and more from the game series, had me ready to hand over my card details before you could say Palico.
It's fair to say that I, like just about everyone else in the middle of the Magic: The Gathering x Monster Hunter Venn diagram, was more than a little let down.
The cards were uninspired and reprinted cards you could find for a few cents. Some even had typos, and the whole thing felt rushed.
“Let's cut to the chase: the Secret Lair x Monster Hunter™ Superdrop we revealed last week fell short of expectations,” Wizards of the Coast’s blog post explained.
