'Calling All Hydra Heads: MtG Secret Lair Arriving at Local Stores for the Holiday Season'

Wizards of the Coast announces limited edition Secret Lair for Magic: The Gathering featuring unique hydra cards. Find them at select retail stores.

Wizards of the Coast has recently made an exciting announcement for Magic: The Gathering fans. They have unveiled a new Secret Lair called Calling All Hydra Heads. However, unlike previous Secret Lair releases, this one will not be available for purchase online. Instead, it will be exclusively sold in limited quantities at select retail stores.

The official Magic blog post by Wizards of the Coast provides some insight into what players can expect from the Calling All Hydra Heads Secret Lair. According to the post, local WPN (Wizards Play Network) stores will be stocking this unique collection.

True to its name, Calling All Hydra Heads is a Secret Lair that features a variety of powerful hydra cards, each with its own distinctive alternative artwork. The artist behind this Secret Lair is none other than CatDirty, whose artwork can be described as delightfully eccentric, with vibrant psychedelic colors and surreal visuals. The style of these illustrations may remind some of the old blacklight posters from the past.

One notable aspect of the cards in this Secret Lair is that their descriptive text incorporates the same trippy visuals found in the artwork. While this adds a unique flair to the cards, it may also pose a challenge when it comes to readability and ease of use during gameplay. Players will need to consider this aspect before deciding to add these cards to their decks.

It is important to emphasize that the availability of the Calling All Hydra Heads Secret Lair will be extremely limited. Typically, players have the option to pre-order Secret Lair sets online, especially those that involve popular crossovers like Ponies: The Galloping 2 or feature artwork by renowned artists like Junji Ito. However, in the case of Calling All Hydra Heads, the best course of action for interested players is to visit their local WPN store and inquire about the availability and any additional details. It is worth noting that the stock of these Secret Lair sets will vary from store to store, and once they are sold out, they will not be restocked.

For collectors and enthusiasts, it is important to know that the Calling All Hydra Heads Secret Lair will only be released in English and in the traditional foil format. Mark your calendars, as this Secret Lair is set to drop on December 8th, offering an opportunity to acquire a truly unique and limited edition addition to your Magic: The Gathering collection.
