Magic: The Gathering Officially Unveils 3 New Major Crossovers For October 2026

Ben Brosofsky has been writing for Screen Rant since 2022 and editing since 2024. He graduated from Vanderbilt University with a Bachelor's in Cinema & Media Arts. Writing serves as a much-needed distraction from tackling a backlog of Steam games that will never be surmounted.
If there's anything that's certain in life, it's that Magic: The Gathering always has another crossover or two just around the corner. In this case, it's three, as the game is going all-out for the month of October with some appropriate collaborations for the season.
The new card releases will all be part of Magic: The Gathering's Secret Lair series, which focuses on limited drops with unique card art for collectors to consider. Eight new drops are coming in total, with cards spread out across three major brand crossovers, along with some unique Magic: The Gathering cards focused on artistic reinterpretation.

As revealed on the official Wizards of the Coast website, Magic: The Gathering's Secret Lair: Corn Maze Superdrop will arrive on October 12. The superdrop contains the following eight drops:
- Secret Lair x Jim Henson's Labyrinth: Fear Me, Love Me
- Secret Lair x Jim Henson's Labyrinth: Should You Need Us
- Secret Lair x Jim Henson's Labyrinth: Through The Labyrinth
- Secret Lair x KPop Demon Hunters: How It's Done
- Secret Lair x Marvel: Zombies
- Artist Series: Veronique Meignaud
- Manufactured Grounds by See Machine
- Peace, Love, & Treefolk
For Jim Henson's Labyrinth, the "Fear Me, Love Me Drop" largely focuses on David Bowie in the role of Jareth, while "Should You Need Me" and "Through The Labyrinth" expand to other characters and moments from the film. The KPop Demon Hunters collaboration features a lot of Rumi and Jinu, with the other members of HUNTR/X and the magpie Sussie also making appearances. Marvel: Zombies zombifies characters like Wolverine, Thor, Captain America, and Hulk, slotting them into the positions typically occupied by undead Magic: The Gathering threats.
As for the rest, the Veronique Meignaud cards bring back an illustrator who's worked on beautiful Magic: The Gathering cards before to deliver several vivid, stylized depictions of characters and locations. The Manufactured Grounds cards take on a unique industrial poster style, while Peace, Love, & Treefolk renders Magic: The Gathering's treefolk in a more psychedelic style.
With a lot of cards on the table, going all-in on the Superdrop will be pricey. A foil bundle of everything on offer rings up as $319.92, while a non-foil bundle cuts the price to $239.92. Individually, each drop will cost $29.99 for a set of non-foil cards and $39.99 for a foil set.
Magic: The Gathering's current focus on crossovers isn't to everyone's taste, but it doesn't seem like that approach will be changing any time soon. At any rate, it's nice that all of these Secret Lair releases are leaning into the Halloween season, and some of the cards for the Jim Henson's Labyrinth collaboration feature especially tasteful designs that earn them a rightful place in the game.
