Secret Lair x Garfield Press Release

According to a press release put out by Wizards of the Coast regarding the collaboration, cartoonist Jim Davis's beloved feline creation comes to Secret Lair on June 15th. The press release goes on to say the following:

Your life total is about to be saved by the miracle of lasagna. Today, Wizards of the Coast announced three Secret Lair x Garfield drops as part of the Cats Are the Best Superdrop. These special, limited Magic: The Gathering collections showcase many sides of Garfield—whether he's motivating you to defeat your opponents, hunting for his prey atop a saber-toothed tiger, or helping you play Magic: The Gathering exactly as it was intended.

“When Secret Lair realized that cats would get a full Superdrop sales event, we were thrilled to have the opportunity to include Garfield,” said Secret Lair Senior Director Lindsey Bartell. “Jim Davis’s Garfield comic strips inspired a whole generation of artists and creatives in a way that is truly timeless. We were so thrilled and proud to be able to work with PAWS INC. to bring this to life in a way that feels truly authentic to both Magic and Garfield.”

Secret Lair x Garfield: Motivationally Challenged pulls from some of the character’s most memorable motivational posters and pairs them with perfectly fitting Magiccards. Ever wanted to express how much you hate Mondays? Beast WithinBeast Within would love to help with that! With five cards, there are plenty of ways to express how you feel at the Magic: The Gathering table.

Secret Lair x Garfield: Our Only Thought Is to Entertain You brings the entertainer beneath the naps, lasagna, and everyday contempt to the forefront. (In this case, “entertainer” could include terrible judgment, an unchecked appetite, and the kind of comic logic that turns one bad impulse into a full-blown hallucination.) When Molten CollapseMolten Collapse is actually marinara sauce instead of molten-hot magma, it’s either time to cut back on the lasagna—or go even harder.

Secret Lair x Garfield: As Intended takes cards from the first Magic: The Gatheringset and asks a simple question: what if Garfield himself art directed Magic in its early days? It nods to the game’s original playtest cards, which used art clipped from newspapers and magazines. Casting a CounterspellCounterspell never felt so satisfying.

All Secret Lair x Garfield drops will be available in Foil ($39.99) and Non-Foil ($29.99) while supplies last.
