Next Monday, on June 9th, the next Secret Lair Superdrop will go on sale. Aptly dubbed the Secret Lair Summer Superdrop 2025, this release has a lot to look forward to. Between incredible art, as always, and Final Fantasy flavored drops, there’s something for everyone. As if that wasn’t enough, however, Wizards of the Coast has just announced a new Secret Lair product.
Titled Secret Lair x National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures: Nuestra Magia, this drop is Wizards’ latest charity venture. Supporting the NALAC non-profit, this Secret Lair drop contains nine unique cards. While two of these are tokens, there’s a great selection of cards here. Not only do these offer stellar reprint value, but most cards have been given “alternate names in Spanish and Portuguese,” as Wizards describes.
As if one drop wasn’t enough, Wizards will be selling two different versions of this drop. One version will have English rules text, while the other features Spanish and Portuguese text throughout. Both these drops will have a non-foil and rainbow foil variant.
The Secret Lair x National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures: Nuestra Magia drop will be on sale from June 16th to July 13th. Unlike most Secret Lair drops nowadays, this drop will be printed to demand. In the reveal article, Wizards states that 50% of the product price from each sale will be donated to the NALAC.
Secret Lair Presents: Nuestra Magia
To kick things off, there are a few standout cards in this new Secret Lair drop. For starters, Sylvan Library, renamed to “La abundancia de Yúcahu” is clearly the standout leader. Currently, copies of Sylvan Library sell for around $25 on average. Considering this card was fairly recently reprinted in Dominaria Remastered, it seems this price is rather robust.
In case you’ve somehow not seen it before, Sylvan Library is a fantastic draw engine and a true Commander staple. While it can hurt to use at times, this isn’t a problem with Commander’s higher life totals. Even if you do need to avoid that downside, Sylvan Library still provides stellar card selection for minimal cost. Well, mana cost, at least.
Sadly, the rest of the Secret Lair is a big step down from Sylvan Library, as Ancient Greenwarden is the next most expensive reprint. Renamed as “Pastor da Selva”, this card typically sells for around $8 on average. Once again, this is thanks to Ancient Greenwarden being a fantastic card in Commander lands decks, as it doesn’t see any competitive play.
While they are still popular in Commander, Xenagos, God of Revels bucks the ongoing trend by seeing play in Modern and Pioneer. Appearing regularly in Modern Neoform decks and rarely in Pioneer Indomitable Creativity decks, Xenagos tends to sell for around $6 most of the time. For this Secret Lair, Xenagos has been renamed to “La Madre Tierra.”
Sadly, Lightning Greaves, appearing as “Chancla Relámpagos,” is the last of the notably expensive reprints for this Secret Lair drop. Typically selling for around $4 on average, this card is, once again, a true Commander staple. Notably, while the average price for a normal printing of this card is $4, the cheapest Secret Lair copy is worth twice that. The other Secret Lair variant for this card, meanwhile, is selling for $26 at the moment.
The Best of the Rest
As usual, after a few good cards, admittedly more than normal, the individual card values fall off somewhat. The next most expensive card is Tireless Provisioner, which is only worth around a dollar. Despite being cheap, this well-reprinted card does see a lot of play in Commander, so this Secret Lair variant, named “La abuela, siempre generosa,” could be rather expensive.
The same is true of Expressive Iteration, which sees a healthy amount of play in both Commander and Modern. Currently, copies of this card sell for as little as $0.32, but it does have some expensive variants. The Special Guests printing, for instance, sells for around $6, which is just a little bit less than the Secret Lair Showdown variant.
Given the art on this new Secret Lair printing, named “La danza del pueblo,” it’s possible this new variant could be even more expensive. Where its price ends up, however, depends on how well this Secret Lair drop sells. Since it’s printed-to-demand, anyone who wants a copy can theoretically pick one up. This could lead to a flood of supply, but the Nuestra Magia drop is only on sale for so long.
For better or worse, the scarcity of the Nuestra Magia drop will heavily affect the price of the last three cards. Sol Ring, Food Tokens, and Treasure Tokens are all incredibly popular in Commander, and rare variants are prized. Due to this, the pricing for these new Secret Lair variants could vary massively, depending on the amount sold.
Of course, on top of general scarcity, the art on Secret Lair drops also plays a big factor in value. If you ask us, the artists for this drop have absolutely knocked it out of the park in this regard.
One Misstep
Sadly, while the Nuestra Magia Secret Lair drop has fantastic art, value, and supports a good cause, MTG players aren’t entirely happy. In their article, Wizards’ use of the “Latinx” terminology frustrated some. While Wizards Art Director Ovidio Cartagena used this terminology when explaining the drop, some feel it’s overly corporate political correctness.
“Great Secret Lair. Great card inclusions. Great art (for the most part). Love the Chancla Relampago.

WotC, just don’t use “Latinx”. That’s dumb and we hate that. Latinos/Latinas is perfectly fine.
This is a pretty neat SL.” –
On top of this faux pas, it doesn’t help that Wizards stopped printing Magic in Portuguese back in 2024. For some, this makes this supportive Secret Lair drop feel somewhat hollow. That said, it’s still nice that Wizards is supporting this cause at all.
Ultimately, with supporting a good cause in mind, this is a fantastic Secret Lair drop. The art and value here should ensure that it sells very well, resulting in more money for charity. While we’d like the value of Secret Lair drops to be higher across the board, Nuestra Magia is definitely worth celebrating.
