Details
Secret Lair x MSCHF: The Zeta Set is a fittingly chaotic chrono-cruise down memory lane, bringing back the spirit of the game's earliest days. Players will receive a Zeta Booster, a new creation from MSCHF containing 7 randomized Magic cards that look a bit different than what they're used to.
The Zeta Booster includes 3 Common cards, 2 Uncommon cards, and a Wildcard of any rarity. The artwork in the Zeta Booster is developed by MSCHF to look like it was pulled from the copier in 1992, with the cards inspired by the original Magic: The Gathering (A Deckmaster Game) playtest cards from the 1990s.
The release is set to arrive on September 2, 2026, only at MagicSecretLair.com for $19.92, a fitting homage to the year Magic was being playtested. This release is a chance for players to experience the game's early days and the creative process that led to the creation of Magic: The Gathering.
