Secret Lair Countdown Kit: Marvel's History of Heroes
November 2, 2026
Secret Lair Countdown Kit: Marvel’s History of Heroes celebrated 87 years of Marvel history through a collection of heroes, villains, and memorable moments brought into Magic: The Gathering. More than 30 artists contributed illustrations spanning different eras and artistic styles, with cards appearing in non-foil, foil, or surge foil treatments. The collection also introduced two characters ahead of their planned appearance in Magic: The Gathering | Marvel: Darkhold Destiny in 2027. Its comic book-inspired long box, complete with card-sized bags, boards, and customizable stickers, made the product as much an archival display piece as a card collection.
This total includes only nonfoil prices due to the randomization of foil cards in this Secret Lair.
