MTG has had tons of special guests over the years, but Vocaloid Idol Hatsune Miku is certainly the most intriguing.

We’ve had all manner of Special Guests in Secret Lairs and Universes Beyond over the years. From Space Marines and Tyranids from the 41st Millenium to characters from The Walking Dead and Stranger Things, non-canon characters have graced our gaming tables for a while. Now, the Spring Superdrop looks to add a bit of extra flair to our MTG games with the first entry in Secret Lair x Hatsune Miku.

Wizards of the Coast had this to say about the upcoming drop.

In a first for Magic: The Gathering® and Secret Lair®, global digital superstar Hatsune Miku will be celebrated throughout the entire year, with four special card collections dropping over the course of 2024. With each drop celebrating a season of the year, this incredible partnership begins with Secret Lair x Hatsune Miku: Sakura Superstar, which will be a part of Spring Superdrop 2024.

For 17 years, Hatsune Miku has been thrilling fans with her digital performances as an android diva living in cyberspace. And now the world’s first virtual singer has added Secret Lair to her world tour! In the first of four amazing drops, Hatsune Miku brings her undeniable electricity to a set of cards featuring stunning art from Miku fans from around the world, including Jehan Choo, Justyna Dura, Mandy Jurgens, Dani Pendergast, Yuko Shimizu, and 出利/SYUTSURI.

Honestly, I can’t wait for this Superdrop. There’s a special kind of joy that comes from taking out an opponent with a Vocaloid. If you want to learn more about this drop, you can check out either the Secret Lair website or DailyMTG for all the details.
