Sonic the Hedgehog speeds into Magic: The Gathering with Secret Lair crossover

Sonic the Hedgehog is dashing into the world of Magic: The Gathering with a high-speed crossover via Secret Lair, Wizards of the Coast’s boutique line of limited-run card drops. Following in the footsteps of SpongeBob, Deadpool and Final Fantasy, this collaboration features three themed drops, each blending iconic Sonic characters and items with Magic’s gameplay mechanics and art style.

Secret Lair is a series of direct-to-consumer Magic sets that reimagine existing cards with new art, themes and sometimes entirely new designs. These drops are not randomized and are only available for a limited time through MagicSecretLair.com.

The Sonic Superdrop: what’s included?

1. Secret Lair x Sonic: Friends & Foes

• Seven brand-new cards featuring Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, Amy Rose, Tails, Dr. Eggman and a legendary enchantment called Super State.
• Legal in Commander, Legacy and Vintage formats.
• Price: $39.99 (non-foil), $49.99 (rainbow foil).

2. Secret Lair x Sonic: Turbo Gear

• Reimagined Magic staples like Lightning Greaves as “Power Sneakers” and The Reaver Cleaver as “Knuckles’s Gloves.”
• Includes six reprints and one token card (Egg Pawn).
• Designed to pair with the character cards from Friends & Foes.
• Price: $29.99 (non-foil), $39.99 (foil).

3. Secret Lair x Sonic: Chasing Adventure

• A collection of Sonic-themed reprints like Generous Gift, Open the Armory and Deadly Dispute, all with new art.
• Price: $29.99 (non-foil), $39.99 (foil).

When and where to buy

All three drops go on sale July 14, 2025, at 9 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. ET exclusively at MagicSecretLair.com. Quantities are limited, and based on past crossovers, they’re expected to sell out quickly.

Unlike the full-set Final Fantasy crossover, the Sonic drop is a self-contained collectible that blends nostalgia with gameplay utility. With art from SEGA’s fan-favorite Sonic illustrators and cards designed to synergize across drops, it’s a love letter to both franchises—and a potential Commander deck starter kit in disguise.
