Magic: The Gathering fans can look forward to a new Secret Lair drop featuring the iconic video game character Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider series. This special crossover set includes a total of seven cards, with a mix of reprints featuring new Tomb Raider artwork and a mechanically unique card representing Lara Croft herself. Wizards of the Coast have cleverly designed these cards to complement each other, allowing Lara Croft's card to potentially serve as a Commander in the game.

More collaboration sets are on the horizon for Magic: The Gathering, with partnerships involving big names like Fallout, Final Fantasy, Jurassic World, and even the Marvel Universe slated for future release. The decision to integrate unique cards into drops is influenced by community feedback, and Wizards of the Coast continues to experiment with the Secret Lair product line, adding a layer of excitement for players and collectors alike.

There is a clear trend of Magic: The Gathering expanding its cross-promotional efforts, which have been met with both enthusiasm and skepticism from the community. The company notes they are actively listening to feedback and the inclusion of unique cards in future drops is always a possibility up for consideration.
