We just took a swing at predicting Magic’s Universes Beyond sets for 2027, but the long-running card game’s Secret Lairs are much harder to predict. Case in point, the next one stars He-Man, Skeletor, and other classic characters from the Masters of the Universe franchise.
Dubbed “The Most Powerful Superdrop in the Universe”, Wizards of the Coast teased the set at MagicCon Amsterdam in recent weeks, but now we have the full list. Here’s what’s included when they go on sale on September 14.
Magic’s Next Secret Lair Stars He-Man and Skeletor
The Superdrop contains five sets of cards, with three including five cards and two having six.
“By The Power of Grayskull” is all about He-Man and Man-at-Arms, as well as Orko. It includes the following:
- 1x Winota, Joiner of Forces as "He-Man, Champion of Eternia"
- 1x Crackle with Power
- 1x Delina, Wild Mage as "Orko, Trollan Magician"
- 1x Bruenor Battlehammer as "Man-at-Arms, Master Tactician"
- 1x Konda's Banner as "He-Man's Battle Harness"
“Nyah-ha-ha!” is all about the legendary baddie Skeletor, who is offered as a reprint of Tinybones, the Pickpocket. Props to Wizards of the Coast for leaning into the meme with Tasha’s Hideous Laughter pulling double duty as Skeletor’s Villainous Glee.
- 1x Tinybones, the Pickpocket as "Skeletor, Lord of Destruction"
- 1x Tasha's Hideous Laughter as "Skeletor's Villainous Glee"
- 1x Bottomless Pit
- 1x Necrogen Mists as "Evil Warriors' Shroud"
- 1x Breach the Multiverse as "Rally the Evil Warriors"
She-Ra gets her own set, too. “She-Ra, Princess of Power” includes the titular royal, Swift Wind, Bow, and Catra, as well as a neat-looking full-art Sol Ring.
- 1x Sisay, Weatherlight Captain as "She-Ra, Princess of Power"
- 1x Silence
- 1x Emiel the Blessed as "Swift Wind, Steed of She-Ra"
- 1x Hajar, Loyal Bodyguard as "Bow, Master Archer"
- 1x Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar as "Catra, Force Captain"
- 1x Sol Ring (Full Art, Textless)
The other six-card set includes Man-E-Faces, Beast Man, and Teela, as well as The Sorceress, Evil-Lyn, and Trap Jaw. It’s called “Allies and Enemies of Eternia”.
- 1x Sakashima the Imposter as "Man-E-Faces, Actor of Eternia"
- 1x Kona, Rescue Beastie as "Beast Man, Savage Henchman"
- 1x Ertai Resurrected as "Evil-Lyn, Evil Warrior Goddess"
- 1x Derevi, Empyrial Tactician as "The Sorceress, Heroic Guardian"
- 1x Samut, Voice of Dissent as "Teela, Warrior Goddess"
- 1x Tetsuo, Imperial Champion as "Trap Jaw, Wizard of Weapons"
Last but not least, “Sold Separately” is a fun nod to the mounts and weapons of the He-Man universe, and includes Battle Cat, the Sword of Power, and a particularly slick Command Tower that has two sides.
- 1x Fortune, Loyal Steed as "Battle Cat, Fighting Tiger"
- 1x The Gitrog, Ravenous Ride as "Panthor, Savage Cat"
- 1x Throne of the God-Pharaoh as "Bone Throne"
- 1x Sword of War and Peace as "Sword of Power"
- 1x Command Tower (Double Sided)
Each drop is $29.99 for the non-foil version and $39.99 for the foil one, but by spending $149, you’ll get an additional promo card, Swan Song, complete with He-Man art. If you want the whole lot in foil and non-foil, you’ll need to spend $334.99.
