Wizards Delays MTG–Monster Hunter Secret Lair to 2026 After Backlash

Wizards will rebuild the crossover with Capcom's support, with updates due early next year.

Overview

  • The December 1 sale has been pulled, with the crossover pushed to 2026 for a complete rework.
  • Wizards said the reveal "fell short of expectations," citing missed Monster Hunter theming and quality issues, including a Kokoto misspelling and the absence of Equipment cards.
  • Fans criticized low-value reprints and mechanically mismatched pairings, fueling broad pushback across Reddit and other social platforms.
  • Reporters noted the delay is unprecedented for a Secret Lair Superdrop in direct response to community reaction.
  • Capcom is on board for a new version, and Wizards says more information will arrive early next year.
