Upcoming Magic: The Gathering Crossover Set is Basically Confirmed

by

Hasbro’s recent third-quarter 2025 earnings show that Magic: The Gathering is a major driver of growth, particularly thanks to strong sales of the Edge of Eternities set. While expansions within the Magic multiverse are performing well, the game has also found success with collaborations featuring other popular franchises. Although some players have expressed concerns about these crossovers, Magic: The Gathering is moving forward with another partnership, this time with a very popular brand from this year.

With the year winding down and 2026’s Magic: The Gathering releases already planned, this new collaboration might not be a full set release. It could come as a smaller offering like a Secret Lair drop or a special Commander deck. This idea is supported by the recent partnership between Netflix and Hasbro on KPop Demon Hunters merchandise, which started with a KPop Demon Hunters version of Monopoly Deal. While Magic: The Gathering wasn’t specifically mentioned, considering how Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro usually operate, a tie-in is highly likely.

  • Hasbro and Mattel are both toy licensees for KPop Demon Hunters, with Mattel overseeing production of action figures, dolls, and more, whereas Hasbro will deliver “immersive new ways to engage through play.”
  • Hasbro’s news release specifically states that the company will be “leveraging the strength of its iconic portfolio—including HASBRO GAMES, WIZARDS OF THE COAST, NERF, and FURBY—introducing a range of engaging collaborations designed to delight fans of all ages,” which could mean MTG or DnD products due to Wizards of the Coast being mentioned.
  • Magic: The Gathering‘s Furby crossover, as well as that of Play-Doh, reinforces the idea that Hasbro will use its IPs or licenses to make new cards, so KPop Demon Hunters fits the bill for a Secret Lair drop.
  • KPop Demon Hunters‘ HUNTR/X and other characters could be perfect for a Secret Lair drop dedicated to each of them, to the main trio as a whole, the antagonists, or even a Commander deck comprehensive of all these options.

Given everything we’ve seen, it makes perfect sense for Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast to create Magic: The Gathering products inspired by K-Pop Demon Hunters.

Predicting Every Magic: The Gathering x KPop Demon Hunters Card

Several characters from the series KPop Demon Hunters would be great as unique cards in a potential Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair release. Here’s a look at who could be included:

  • HUNTR/X
    • Rumi
    • Zoey
    • Mira
  • Saja Boys
    • Jinu
    • Abby Saja
    • Mystery Saja
    • Romance Saja
    • Baby Saja
  • Support Characters
    • Bobby
    • Celine
    • Derpy
    • Sussie
    • The original trio of hunters
    • The 1920s trio
    • The 1940s trio
    • The 1970s trio
    • The Sunlight Sisters
  • Antagonists
    • Gwi-Ma
    • Village Demons
    • Various demons, like Crying Water Demon/Jelly

More Magic: The Gathering cards could feature Honeymoon, the original songs from the KPop Demon Hunters, and memorable scenes from the movie.

MTG x KPop Demon Hunters is a Matter of When Rather Than If

Secret Lair drops are a great way for Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast to quickly collaborate on projects, especially compared to creating an entire new card set or several Commander products. The source material isn’t complex enough to warrant a massive crossover event like the upcoming Avatar set, making this a perfectly sized collaboration.

Okay, so everyone’s buzzing about a potential crossover between Magic: The Gathering and, believe it or not, KPop Demon Hunters. Hasbro’s recent moves practically scream that it’s going to happen, and honestly, I think it’s coming faster than we think. The Netflix movie was a huge viral hit, and they’ll want to capitalize on that momentum. Nothing’s official yet, but with the Netflix/Hasbro deal just announced, I’m predicting we’ll hear some news around early 2026. For now, MTG fans have the PlayStation Secret Lair Superdrop to look forward to – so patience is key!
