Magic: The Gathering Is Getting Four Hatsune Miku Secret Lair Drops This Year

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

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
