Magic: The Gathering crosses over with Street Fighter in new Secret Lair Drop Series

Wizards of the Coast has announced a collaboration with Capcom and the Street Fighter franchise. 

Secret Lair x Street Fighter is a limited series of ultra collectable cards which features the eight original characters from Street Fighter II. Some of the effects of the cards play nicely into the Street Fighter characters, like how Chun-Li has a multikicker effect.

The characters that will be featured in the MTG set are: 

• Blanka, Ferocious Friend

• Chun-Li, Countless Kicks

• Dhalsim, Pliable Pacifist

• E. Honda, Sumo Champion

• Guile, Sonic Solider

• Ken, Burning Brawler

• Ryu, World Warrior

• Zangief, the Red Cyclone

Mark Heggen, the Product Architect at Wizards of the Coast, said the following about the collaboration:

“Street Fighter and Magic: The Gathering come from very different genres, but we’ve both been bringing amazing characters, rich gameplay, and social connections to our fans for decades. We’re lifelong fans of Street Fighter, and this partnership has been a dream come true.”

The Secret Lair x Street Fighter sets will set you back USD 49.99 or USD 39.99 for the foil and non-foil sets. 

On top of this collaborative news, Wizards of the Coast also announced a handful of other Secret Lair projects to tie into the recently released Kamigawa set.
