Magic: The Gathering has been undergoing some major changes to how Secret Lair works with its new print-to-demand Commander decks, but some of the more recent Universes Beyond Superdrops have been struggling to spark as much interest from players as they used to. Regardless of the reason behind it, the newest Secret Lair set leaked by some members of the community will likely be a major success for Wizards of the Coast.

Compared to some recent collaborations like Star Trek and Stardew Valley, the next franchise slated for an MTG makeover is none other than Frank Herbert's Dune franchise, at least according to a recent leak on Reddit. Shared by users like PowerOfFriendship_, the discovery initially came from an anonymous Discord post before spreading online like wildfire.

According to the leak, the Secret Lair Superdrop is titled "My Arrakis, My Superdrop," and will include three separate drops based around Sandworms, artifacts and enchantments, and lastly, a set of legendary creatures based on 8 characters from the films. While some of the set does include reprints like "Sandstorm Convergence" and "Darksteel Forge," 11 of the 20 leaked cards are completely original to the Secret Lair drop.

The designs of the cards are based on Denis Villeneuve's film adaptations, rather than the series as a whole.

While fans were quick to question the authenticity of the reveal, others pointed out that not only was all the art original with their creators listed, but the cards had too many elaborate details and feasible mechanics to be just AI or fan-made proxies.
