Secret Lair Countdown Kit: An Encyclopedia of Magic
November 4, 2025
Secret Lair Countdown Kit: An Encyclopedia of Magic turned the alphabet into a 26-card Secret Lair experience, with one individually wrapped surprise for every letter from A to Z. Each card featured showcase-worthy artwork, ranging from returning artists to Secret Lair debuts, with the possibility of discovering Foils or even rare Halo Foils among the contents. Its mystery-box presentation and complete alphabet format made it an unusually interactive collectible designed around the excitement of opening each card.
Target player mills three cards.
Storm (When you cast this spell, copy it for each spell cast before it this turn. You may choose new targets for the copies.)
Choose a card name. Exile the top six cards of your library, then reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a card with the chosen name. Put that card into your hand and exile all other cards revealed this way.
This land enters tapped.
{T}: Add {C}.
Whenever this land or another land you control enters, if you control seven or more lands with different names, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token.
When this creature enters, each opponent loses X life, where X is your devotion to black. You gain life equal to the life lost this way. (Each {B} in the mana costs of permanents you control counts toward your devotion to black.)
Imprint — When this artifact enters, you may exile an instant card with mana value 2 or less from your hand.
{2}, {T}: You may copy the exiled card. If you do, you may cast the copy without paying its mana cost.
Flying, menace
When Junji dies, choose one —
• Each opponent discards two cards and loses 2 life.
• Put target non-Dragon creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control. You lose 2 life.
During your turn, your opponents can't cast spells or activate abilities of artifacts, creatures, or enchantments.
Whenever Myrel attacks, create X 1/1 colorless Soldier artifact creature tokens, where X is the number of Soldiers you control.
Vigilance, deathtouch, haste
Questing Beast can't be blocked by creatures with power 2 or less.
Combat damage that would be dealt by creatures you control can't be prevented.
Whenever Questing Beast deals combat damage to an opponent, it deals that much damage to target planeswalker that player controls.
(As this Saga enters and after your draw step, add a lore counter. Sacrifice after III.)
I — This Saga gains "{T}: Add {C}."
II — This Saga gains "{2}, {T}: Create a 0/0 colorless Construct artifact creature token with 'This token gets +1/+1 for each artifact you control.'"
III — Search your library for an artifact card with mana cost {0} or {1}, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle.
Xantcha enters under the control of an opponent of your choice.
Xantcha attacks each combat if able and can't attack its owner or planeswalkers its owner controls.
{3}: Xantcha's controller loses 2 life and you draw a card. Any player may activate this ability.
Deathtouch, lifelink
If a permanent entering causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time.
Given the rarity and limited information on some bonus cards, this may not be a complete list of all potential bonus cards available in this Secret Lair.

If you would gain life, you gain twice that much life instead.
If you would draw a card except the first one you draw in each of your draw steps, draw two cards instead.
