As the only vocaloid anyone can name, Hatsune Miku is a big enough star to make her way onto Magic: The Gathering's bundles of reskinned cards with new art, which they call Secret Lair drops, alongside such [[link]] luminaries as Godzilla and the cast of The Walking Dead.
And not just once. Following the previous spring-themed Hatsune Miku set that convinced our Elie Gould to finally start collecting Magic cards, there's a summer-scheduled set on the way, with two more drops to follow after that.
Called Secret Lair × Hatsune Miku: Digital Sensation, this next series of six cards is apparently all about "the power of music" and includes a rethemed version of Child of Alara from the Conflux set originally released all the way back in 2009, here called Miku, Child of Song.
You also get new versions of Diabolic Tutor, Chord of Calling, Song of Creation, Thespian's Stage, [[link]] and a Sol Ring card that makes it look like Miku is reaching for one of Sonic the Hedgehog's gold rings. (I liked the Fallout-themed version better, which depicted the ring as the circle of light when a Vault door cracks open. That's clever!)
I'm sure Hatsune Miku stans will help this Secret Lair drop just as well as the first one did, regardless of what's actually on them. It goes on sale at 9am PT on June 24, and will be available through to 11.59pm PT on July 14 if it doesn't sell out faster than that, which it almost certainly will.
Magic's next full crossover will be with Assassin's Creed, a set featuring a card that is literally just a haystack. Its current non-themed expansion is Modern Horizons 3, which won me over even though I normally don't normally play the Modern format.
