Secret Lair x Stranger Things was a licensed crossover with Netflix's Stranger Things, introducing eight brand-new, mechanically unique cards based on characters and creatures from the series. The drop also included a Clue token and was designed with Commander in mind, giving fans the opportunity to use the show's characters as legendary creatures and build around their abilities. As one of Secret Lair's early major entertainment crossovers, it helped establish the format of creating entirely new Magic cards specifically for licensed properties.
The total value includes bonus cards only if all are guaranteed to be included.
