'We Believe We Can Do Better' — Wizards of the Coast Goes 'Back to the Drawing Board' With Magic: The Gathering's Monster Hunter Collaboration
Wizards of the Coast will rework the Magic: The Gathering x Monster Hunter Secret Lair Superdrop after criticism of card choices and lore mismatches, delaying release to 2026.
- Wizards of the Coast halted the planned Secret Lair Monster Hunter Superdrop, originally scheduled for Dec. 1, and announced a delay to 2026 for a full rework.

- Players pointed out many selections were low-value reprints below typical Superdrop price points, with several having second-hand values under the $30 and $40 Superdrops and mismatched Monster Hunter elements vs. Magic card roles.
- Capcom has agreed to let Wizards rework the Superdrop; Wizards warned pulling Superdrops back isn’t common and said details won’t be re-revealed until next year.
- The misstep could reduce player receptiveness to future Universes Beyond tie-ins, as Wizards has never before delayed a Superdrop due to backlash from Magic players and Monster Hunter fans.

A Hunter strives to be the str…
