MTG: Grab Your Coconuts and Join An Epic Quest With The ‘Monty Python’ Secret Lair
From the Black Knight to Tim the Enchanter, we’ve got the lowdown on all the cards in this hilarious Superdrop!
Welcome in, Praetors and Planeswalkers! Magic: the Gathering has had a ton of special guests in recent years, from “The Walking Dead” to “Street Fighter”. However, none have hit the epic scale of perfection quite like the upcoming Superdrop.
At long last, all the references to “Tim” when referring to Prodigal Sorcerer will finally make sense. I’m talking, of course, about the Monty Python Superdrop!
Today, Wizards of the Coast announced its debut collaboration with the British comedy classic, Monty Python and the Holy Grail and revealed two separate Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair sets, Monty Python and the Holy Grail Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. Both volumes will have a limited quantity on sale at MagicSecretLair.com starting Monday, July 29 at 9:00 AM Pacific through Sunday, August 18 at 11:59 PM Pacific, while supplies last. A limited quantity of both drops in Foil Edition will also be available at the Hasbro Pulse booth #3213 during this year’s San Diego Comic-Con 2024. More information on each volume of the timeless drops is below:
Secret Lair x Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Vol. 1
The first drop is a phenomenal get for any fan of “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”. From epic moments like the encounter with the Black Knight to the endless debate of migrating coconuts, this set has it all. I am a big fan of the Birds of Paradise Double-Faced card. In fact, I may have to get two copies of this drop just so I can display both sides.
Five decades ago, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table set off on a sacred quest to reclaim the Holy Grail. They… still haven’t found it. But they stopped by Secret Lair and told us all about their escapades, immortalized in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Go watch it! We liked it so much that we made two drops inspired by it. This drop even has a double-sided Birds of Paradise that lets you choose between an African and European Swallow. How do we know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you’re a king.
Secret Lair x Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Vol. 2
Volume 2 of the Superdrop contains more iconic set pieces from the hilarious film. We can see the wise Sir Bedivere conducting his witch trial, the harrowing Bridge of Death, and the deadly Castle of AAAARGH. We even get a look at the terrible beast that lives in the Castle. My only complaint…the terrible rabbit is nowhere to be seen.
The volume of this drop shall be “2,” no more, no less. If thou proclaim it “1,” thou speakest of our other drop. The cards herein are different. If thou pronounce the volume to be “3,” thou speakest falsely for there is no such thing. “2” shall be the volume of this drop. And in this drop, thou shalt discover cards featuring scenes and quotes from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. And perchance thou shalt lobbest thine cards against thy foe to gain victory most sweet.
Both of these Secret Lairs are available as part of the Inside an Elevator Superdrop, which goes on sale July 29th. For more information, check out the Secret Lair website.
