Summary

  • Magic: The Gathering will release a Ghostbusters-themed Secret Lair with Slimer-focused cards later this month on September 30.
  • Five cards are included in the Secret Lair, which are Slimer, Voracious Apparition; Slimed; Slimer's Feast; Escape Containment; and Pernicious Deed.
  • Given that the title is Ghostbusters: Slimer, it also feels as though Wizards is setting up more Ghostbusters-themed Secret Lairs for the near future.

Magic: The Gathering is getting primed and ready for the spooky season. We have the Duskmourn: House of Horror expansion just over the horizon, an expansion which is strongly themed around 80s - 00s horror, which had fans speculating if a Secret Lair with some iconic horror franchises could be announced at this year's Hasbro Pulse Con showcase.

Turns out, that speculation was right on the money, as Wizards of the Coast has announced that a Ghostbusters Secret Lair will launch on September 30 later this month as part of the Camp Totally Safe Superdrop. The Secret Lair is called Ghostbusters: Slimer and includes five different cards, unsurprisingly focused on the weird but lovable green ball of slime himself.

Each of the cards in the Secret Lair were shown off on stream (and can be seen in the Twitter embed above), which include Slimer, Voracious Apparition (The Mimeoplasm); Slimed (Trickbind); Slimer's Feast (Windfall); Escape Containment (Incarnation Technique); and finally Pernicious Deed.

Magic: The Gathering To Release A Ghostbusters Secret Lair This Month

We can also tell from this Secret Lair's name that more Ghostbusters drops might be coming in the future too. With a title like Ghostbusters: Slimer, it feels as though Wizards of the Coast is preparing for several drops that focus on particular characters, otherwise it would surely just be called Secret Lair x Ghostbusters.

We don't know for sure though, so it's best not to get your hopes up too high. We'll likely learn about any other potential Secret Lairs the closer we get to the Halloween season, so all we can do for now is make sure we're getting notifications for when drops are available and cross our fingers that this one doesn't sell out in mere hours this time.
