Wizards of the Coast has revealed yet another Ghostbusters and Secret Lair crossover for Magic: The Gathering. We’ve had an entire set dedicated to Slimer, but this one focuses on the animated TV series, something many of us grew up watching.
First, we had Secret Lair x Ghostbusters: Slimer! as a Superdrop, and now we have Secret Lair X The Real Ghostbusters as another. This second set looks at various episodes from throughout The Real Ghostbusters TV show, containing hand-picked moments that fit well with the mechanics of the cards they’ve been used for. The artwork is reminiscent of the original show, too. It’s a nice touch I love as both a fan who watched the series growing up and someone who enjoys Magic: The Gathering today.
Every card in the Secret Lair x The Real Ghostbusters Superdrop
Below, I’ve listed every card in the Secret Lair X The Real Ghostbusters Superdrop, so you know what’s coming and whether you want it for your decks. The last set was all about building up a graveyard and then bringing those creatures into the game. This set instead focuses on clearing the graveyard.
- Ecto-1: A */* Artifact Vehicle. Tap to exile up to two target creatures from a single graveyard. Ecto-1’s power and toughness are each equal to the number of cards exiled with it. Crew 2.
- Ghostbuster’s Patch: Instant, choose one –
- Ghostbuster’s Patch deals 4 damage to target player or planeswalker.
- Permanents you control gain indestructible until end of turn.
- Target creature gains double strike until the end of turn.
- Careful Study: Sorcery. Draw two cards, then discard two cards.
- Answer the Call: Instant. Search your library for a creature card, reveal that card, put it into your hand, then shuffle.
- Total Containment Failure: Sorcery. Pay 2 black mana to Suspend 3. Each player exiles all creature cards from their graveyard, then sacrifices all creatures they control, then puts all cards they exiled this way into the battlefield.
As you can see, all of these cards are geared towards getting cards out of graveyards and then empowering their owner. I particularly love Ecto-1 because you could very easily combine it with a card that throws a few creatures into your graveyard and create feedback loop that makes a massive monster you can wipe out your opponents with. I also love how Ghostbuster’s Patch is a fantastic juxtaposition of something all Ghostbusters fans love, but if you come up against that, it’s going to be terrifying.
