Magic: The Gathering and Monty Python Join Forces in New Secret Lair Drops

Magic: The Gathering fans and Monty Python enthusiasts have reason to celebrate! Wizards of the Coast has announced two Secret Lair drops featuring cards inspired by the iconic movie Monty Python and the Holy Grail .

The Secret Lair x Monty Python and the Holy Grail Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 drops will be available as part of the Inside an Elevator Superdrop 2024. These limited-edition sets will go on sale starting July 29th at 9:00 AM Pacific through August 18th at 11:59 PM Pacific, available while supplies last.

For those attending San Diego Comic-Con 2024, a limited quantity of both drops in Foil Edition will be available at the Hasbro Pulse booth #3213. This exclusive opportunity allows fans to get their hands on these unique cards before the official release.

The Vol. 1 drop includes five cards, one of which is a double-sided Birds of Paradise featuring both African and European Swallows. This clever nod to one of the film’s most memorable scenes is sure to delight fans of Magic: The Gathering and Monty Python.

Vol. 2 contains three more cards based on the world of The Holy Grail, along with a token , each capturing the essence of the film’s absurdist humour. From the Bridge of Death to the Castle of Aaargh, these cards bring the world of The Holy Grail into the Magic: The Gathering universe in a way that’s both faithful to the source material and playable within the game.

The collaboration between Magic: The Gathering and Monty Python and The Holy Grail is a natural fit. It combines the strategic depth of the trading card game with the irreverent humour that made Monty Python a cultural phenomenon.
