Magic: The Gathering Is Getting Four Hatsune Miku Secret Lair Drops This Year
30.04.2024 - 00:21 / thegamer.com
Magic: The Gathering has revealed its next Secret Lair crossover. Joining the likes of Fallout, Warhammer 40,000, and Lord of the Rings is none other than Vocaloid superstar Hatsune Miku.
Miku will be a recurring theme of this year’s Secret Lairs, with four drops planned to reflect the four seasons. The first drop, Secret Lair x Hatsune Miku: Sakura Superstar, will come in the Spring Superdrop in May, and includes six cards.
Secret Lair x Hatsune Miku: Sakura Superstar
Miku, the Renowned (Feather, the Redeemed)
Miku, Lost But Singing (Azusa, Lost But Seeking)
Miku's Spark (Chandra's Ignition)
Harmonize
Inspiring Vantage
Shelter
Though none of the cards here are super valuable, they all see play in Magic’s Commander format. Azusa, Lost But Seeking (here as “Miku, Lost But Singing”) is one of the go-to mono-green commanders thanks to her ability to ramp out lots of land each turn. Meanwhile, Feather, the Redeemed is a fantastic red/white combat tricks commander, and the addition of an anime girl to the art only makes the pain she can inflict all the funnier.
Although Miku’s Spark; Miku, Lost But Singing; and Miku, the Renowned all have different names to their regular versions, the game rules treat them all as identical to Chandra’s Ignition; Azusa, Lost But Seeking; and Feather, the Redeemed. You can only have up to four copies of any of them in your deck, or only one in Commander.
Joining the commanders are Shelter, Harmonize, “Miku’s Spark” (Chandra’s Ignition), and Inspiring Vantage. Again, none of them are big hits regularly – Shelter in particular was just printed at common in Commander Masters. But they’re all played, with Miku’s Spark being the highest-profile card and a great way to finish out a game if you have enough mana.
If you don’t know Hatsune Miku, she started out as a Vocaloid voicebank – an artificial voice synthesiser used in music production. Her popularity has turned her from a Vocaloid mascot into one of the most recognisable characters in the world, and is described as the “world’s first virtual singer”. She’s made countless appearances in other media, and even has her own games, manga, and even live concerts.
I think Alvin and the Chipmunks would have something to say about Hatsune Miku being the first virtual singer.
Oddly, this isn't the first time Hatsune Miku and Magic: The Gathering have teamed up. For 2022's Japanese-inspired cyberpunk set Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, Miku contributed a single called Connected.
The Sakura Superstar drop will be available from May 13 from 9AM PST as part of the Spring Superdrop. Like other recent drops, this will only be on offer as stock is available, rather than being printed to demand like the Secret Lair drops

The Newest Magic: The Gathering Card is… Hatsune Miku?!
While many card games come and go, one that has remained relevant for over two decades is Magic: The Gathering (herein, Magic). Magic has survived the test of time as both a physical and digital tabletop game, with fans that play around the world. One of the reasons it has managed to outlast other card games is that it has managed to stay interesting by adding new cards, including special crossover packs that draw from other popular media. These expansion sets especially keep players interested in the game, releasing them regularly and adding exciting new cards to the game.
