The Secret Lair × Monster Hunter™ Superdrop is one of the most exciting collaborations in Magic: The Gathering history. Bringing Capcom’s legendary Monster Hunter franchise into MTG, this Superdrop features brand-new artwork, reimagined iconic cards, and stunning thematic designs.
Announced on November 18, 2025, the collection officially launches on December 1, 2025, exclusively on MagicSecretLair.com, available only while supplies last.
What is Secret Lair × Monster Hunter Superdrop?
This Superdrop is a premium MTG release celebrating Capcom’s Monster Hunter universe. It reimagines existing MTG cards using Monster Hunter monsters, hunters, armors, and themes. Each card features brand-new art created specifically for this crossover.
The drop is part of MTG’s ongoing Universes Beyond line—special collaborations with major franchises such as Final Fantasy, Fallout, Warhammer 40K, and more.
Why is This Collaboration Important?
⭐ 1. Monster Hunter’s Global Popularity
Monster Hunter is one of the most iconic action-RPG franchises known for:
- Epic monster battles
- Deep weapon-crafting systems
- Cooperative hunting gameplay
- Distinctive armor sets and monster designs
Bringing this world into MTG is a treat for fans of both franchises.
⭐ 2. Collector & Player Appeal
Secret Lair drops are limited-print, premium-quality, and highly collectible. They often gain value over time due to:
- Unique artwork
- Limited availability
- Cross-franchise appeal
⭐ 3. Expansion of MTG’s Universes Beyond Line
Monster Hunter joins franchises like Final Fantasy and Assassin’s Creed under the Universes Beyond umbrella, bringing more players into MTG and enriching the game’s diversity.

The Monster Hunter Superdrop is divided into four themed sub-drops, each focusing on a different part of the Monster Hunter universe.

Each card captures the feel of being on an actual monster hunt.
