Last February, Wizards of the Coast launched the Secret Lair: Black is Magic drop, a limited-time print-on-demand Magic: The Gathering product designed for Black History Month. The Secret Lair was made available for preorder from February 22 to March 31, 2021 with proceeds benefitting the digital art, game design, and game development programs of Black Girls CODE, an organization that empowers girls of color in game design and other coding programs. Some fans are already expecting to receive their Secret Lair copies this month, but it looks like they will have to wait a bit longer.
Over on Twitter, Logan a.k.a. Seraph Six has shared a message from Wizards of the Coast in which the company informs him that the preorder is taking longer than anticipated and it is now planned to release on May 13, 2021.
Secret Lair: Black is Magic delayed!
Black Girls CODE aims to increase the number of women of color in the digital space by empowering girls of color between ages seven and seventeen to become innovators in STEM fields, leaders in their communities, and builders of their own futures through exposure to computer science and technology.
The Secret Lair: Black is Magic was available in both foil and non-foil, and it features 7 unique alternate-art cards depicting Black culture. Each copy of the Secret Lair includes Shalai, Voice of Plenty, Ponder, Path of Ancestry, Sol Ring, grosse decke, Teferi, Hero of Dominaria, Kaya, Ghost Assassin, and Cultivate.
