Five cat Secret Lair cards fanned out on a dark purple background: the Purr Majesty Queen Marchesa by Vanessa Stockard in the centre, with Garfield and Odie, Best Buds, Aggravated Assault from Cats of Chaos, Spirit of the Hearth and the Cats Are Better Than Dogs Arcane Signet around it

The Short Answer

Cats Are the Best is the all-cat Secret Lair superdrop that went on sale on 15 June 2026: eight drops of five cards at $29.99 non-foil or $39.99 foil, including three Garfield drops and a Felix the Cat drop. Cats earned it in March 2025, when Cats Are Better Than Dogs sold out before Dogs Are Better Than Cats.

On 13 November 2026 the most valuable drop is Purr Majesty at $117.83 non-foil on TCGplayer, 3.9 times its price. Witch's Familiar is $89.36 and Cats of Chaos $53.24; the Garfield, Felix and Toby drops sit between $31.63 and $40.35. The Cats Rule Everything bundle ($519.99) trades at $881.23, and the 2025 Cats Are Better Than Dogs drop at $151.33.

A Secret Lair is Wizards of the Coast's direct-to-fan store for Magic: The Gathering: small sets of existing cards reprinted with new art, sold online for a limited time. The cards play exactly like the originals. Our MTG Secret Lair guide explains how drops, the queue and shipping work.

This page covers every cat Secret Lair: the eight drops of the Cats Are the Best superdrop one by one, the 2025 Cats vs Dogs race that led to it, and four older cat drops. For each one you get the cards, the launch price, what it sells for sealed and as singles on 13 November 2026, and whether it is worth buying.

Cats Are the Best Secret Lair: all 8 drops and prices

Wizards announced the full superdrop on 12 June 2026 and sold it on 15 June 2026 at 9 a.m. PT on MagicSecretLair.com, with a pre-queue from 8 a.m. PT. Every drop cost $29.99 non-foil or $39.99 foil (Wizards, StarCityGames). The store's product page for Garfield: Our Only Thought Is to Entertain You says it was "available while supplies last and limited to 5 per customer".

Prices are TCGplayer market prices on 13 November 2026; the multiple compares the non-foil price with its $29.99 launch price. Two foil editions now sell below their $39.99 price: Garfield: Our Only Thought Is to Entertain You ($37.99) and Toby's Journey ($33.84).

The superdrop splits in two. The three drops with original cat art (Purr Majesty, Witch's Familiar and Cats of Chaos) have gained 1.8 to 3.9 times their price. The five licensed drops (three Garfield, one Felix the Cat and Toby's Journey) trade at 1.1 to 1.3 times. Despite the theme, Wargamer counted only two cards in the early reveals that are actually Cat creatures: Rin and Seri, Inseparable, which is also a Dog, and Spirit of the Hearth.

The Cats Are the Best bundles

Wizards sold three bundles alongside the single drops. All three have market prices well above their launch price, and at market price each costs less than buying its drops one by one on 13 November 2026. The Nine Lives bundle is the exception in practice: nobody was selling one near its market price.

BundleContentsLaunch priceTCGplayer, 13 Nov 2026Same drops bought separately
Cats Rule Everything BundleAll 8 drops, non-foil and foil (16)$519.99$881.23 (lowest listing $790.00)$946.55

Nine Lives Non-Foil BundleAll 8 drops in non-foil$224.99$397.45 (lowest $699.99)$450.09

Despite its name, the Nine Lives bundle holds eight drops, not nine (Wizards). Its market price comes from past sales; the cheapest listing on 13 November 2026 was $699.99, so in practice you can't buy one near $397.45 today.

Purr Majesty: cards and what it is worth

Purr Majesty is five cards with cat art by Vanessa Stockard. It trades at $117.83 non-foil and $121.47 foil on 13 November 2026, the highest of the eight drops. On the site's 1 November table in our Secret Lair guide it was $119.34, so the price has held for two weeks.

Sealed drop$117.83$121.47
Launch price$29.99$39.99

TCGplayer market prices, 13 November 2026; cheapest printings from Scryfall the same day. Queen Marchesa is the only mythic.

Bonus card: Hellish Rebuke (SLD 7171), also by Vanessa Stockard, at $8.67 non-foil and $9.15 foil. MTGRocks called it "the priciest bonus on offer" (then about $4.50) when the bonus cards were revealed on 19 June 2026; the retro-frame Serra Ascendant below has since overtaken it.

Sealed and singles cost almost the same: the five non-foil cards add up to $1.66 more than the sealed drop, the foils $7.95 more. The cat art is what you pay for here. Queen Marchesa costs $1.13 in its cheapest printing and 40 times that as a Purr Majesty card.

Witch's Familiar: cheaper sealed than its cards

SimzArt painted all five cards. Witch's Familiar is the second most valuable drop, at $89.36 non-foil and $111.36 foil, and the one where sealed is the clearest bargain: its five non-foil cards add up to $117.36, $28.00 more than the sealed drop.

5 singles$117.36$127.31

Witch Enchanter carries the drop. Scryfall lists only one other printing, the Modern Horizons 3 card, which costs $5.37, so the SimzArt version sells for about 13 times as much. Spirit of the Hearth is one of the few actual Cat creatures in the whole superdrop; the others are Rin and Seri and Toby's Sovereign Okinec Ahau (Scryfall).

Cats of Chaos: the drop for players

Samuel Perin painted all five cards; on Aggravated Assault a pack of cats leaps after a fish. Cats of Chaos was the last drop revealed, on 12 June 2026, when MTGRocks valued its cards at about $46 against its $30 price. On 13 November 2026 the five non-foil cards add up to $75.72, $22.48 more than the sealed drop at $53.24.

Sealed drop$53.24$62.91

This is the drop for players. Aggravated Assault, a red enchantment that gives you extra combat phases, costs $25.23 in its cheapest printing, so the cat version costs only $1.60 more. Aura Shards is on the Commander Game Changers list. Those two cards alone ($59.14) are worth more than the sealed drop.

The Garfield Secret Lair drops

Three of the eight drops are Secret Lair x Garfield. Motivationally Challenged renames four of its cards after Garfield and his catchphrases. As Intended prints five classic Magic spells with Garfield art. Our Only Thought Is to Entertain You hands Garfield to five different artists. All three trade at about $40 non-foil on 13 November 2026, a third over their price.

Drop and cards (SLD no.)Non-foil singlesSealed non-foilFoil singlesSealed foil
Motivationally Challenged: Rin and Seri, Inseparable as "Garfield and Odie, Best Buds" ($14.75), Orim's Chant as "Talk to the Paw" ($9.70), Sol Ring ($8.88), Beast Within as "I Hate Mondays" ($5.28), Ponder as "Hang In There" ($3.03) (2668–2672)$41.64$39.88$44.92$41.78

Non-foil card prices in brackets; all TCGplayer market prices, 13 November 2026.

  • Motivationally Challenged is the Garfield drop most fans want, for "Garfield and Odie, Best Buds". Rin and Seri is both a Cat and a Dog, which suits a card of the two together. Sealed and singles cost about the same.
  • As Intended has the cheapest sealed price against its cards: the singles add up to $5.34 more.
  • Our Only Thought Is to Entertain You has the weakest sealed value: its market price is $14.24 more than its five cards, and its foil edition sells under its $39.99 launch price. The non-foil market is thin, though, and one copy was listed at $26.00 on 13 November 2026, so check listings before you buy singles instead.

Bonus cards: Clone (SLD 7164) with As Intended, Shiny Impetus as "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme!" (7165) with Motivationally Challenged and Shoot the Sheriff (7166) with Our Only Thought, all at $1.49 to $2.73 (MTGRocks, TCGplayer). The Garfield cards carry the Universes Beyond tag on Scryfall.

Felix the Cat and Toby's Journey

Secret Lair x Felix the Cat: Magic Bag of Tricks reprints Future Sight, Time Stretch, Barrowgoyf as "Feral Felix", Throes of Chaos and Mind's Eye (SLD 2700–2704), each by a different artist. It trades at $37.83 non-foil and $41.53 foil, and its five non-foil cards add up to $37.13, so sealed and singles cost the same. Feral Felix is the one card of note at $19.50. Its bonus card is Warp World (SLD 7172, $2.06 foil).

Toby's Journey by Gary Baseman puts the artist's cat character Toby on five cards, all painted by Baseman: Sovereign Okinec Ahau as "All-Seeing Toby", Trailblazer's Boots, Long Goodbye, Farseek and Prismatic Vista (SLD 2695–2699). It is the cheapest drop in the superdrop at $31.63 non-foil market price, just above its launch price (the cheapest listing was $34.94), and its foil edition at $33.84 trades below its $39.99 price.

For a player, that makes Toby's Journey the best buy of the eight. Prismatic Vista alone costs $29.26 as a Toby single, and $28.02 in its cheapest printing (Scryfall, 13 November 2026). At market price the sealed drop costs $2.37 more than that and adds four more cards; all five singles add up to $38.84, so sealed still wins even at the $34.94 cheapest listing.

Cats Are the Best bonus cards and the Lasagna token

Each drop came with a bonus card. MTGRocks matched five of them to their drops on 19 June 2026, and Scryfall marks them all as Secret Lair bonus cards.

Cats of Chaos, Toby's Journey, Witch's FamiliarOne retro-frame Human (foil)7135, 7138, 7139, 7145, 7152$0.66 to $79.59 foil

The three drops without a named bonus got retro-frame Human cards (MTGRocks). MTGJSON lists the same five for all three: Knight of the White Orchid, General's Enforcer, Glowrider, Darien, King of Kjeldor and Serra Ascendant. Serra Ascendant is the prize, at $79.59 foil; the other four trade at $0.66 to $2.69. MTGJSON models each of these drops as getting one of the five at random, with equal weight; we found no Wizards statement of the odds, so don't pay extra for a sealed drop that a seller says comes "with bonus" without a photo of the card.

The spend bonus was a foil Garfield Lasagna Food token for orders of $199 or more (MTGRocks; TCGplayer lists it as a traditional foil). MTGRocks called it "the worst $199 sale promo we've ever seen" on launch day. It trades at $7.95.

Cats Are Better Than Dogs Secret Lair: did cats or dogs win?

The superdrop exists because of a race. On Monday 17 March 2025 Wizards revealed two near-identical drops in the Chaos Vault: Cats Are Better Than Dogs and Dogs Are Better Than Cats, each $29.99 non-foil or $39.99 foil. Both had the same five cards with cat art or dog art, and buyers voted with their wallets for an all-cat or all-dog superdrop in 2026 (Commander's Herald). Cats sold out first (MTGRocks), and all four editions were gone "in a matter of hours" (Draftsim). When Wizards announced the cat superdrop in June 2026, it said "cats won fair and square".

TCGplayer market prices, 13 November 2026. TCGplayer sells the foil editions as rainbow foil.

The cats won the resale race too. Cats Are Better Than Dogs trades at $151.33 non-foil, five times its price, and $69.24 more than Dogs Are Better Than Cats at $82.09. It has risen from $132.92 on our 1 November table. Every cat card is worth more than its dog twin in non-foil, and the cat Arcane Signet at $64.89 is the most valuable card of the pair; the cheapest Arcane Signet printing costs $0.32.

The cat drop is the one where sealed costs more than its cards: $10.02 more in non-foil and $19.31 more in rainbow foil. The dog drop is the reverse, with singles worth $11.87 and $21.15 more. The bonus cards were Helpful Hunter for cats and Spirited Companion for dogs. MTGRocks called Helpful Hunter "an adorable $0.17 dud" when it was revealed in March 2025, going by the card's cheapest printing; the cat version now sells for $30.23.

Older cat Secret Lairs: OMG KITTIES!, Purrfection, Look at the Kitties and Raining Cats and Dogs

Cats have been a Secret Lair theme since the first year of drops. The four older cat products all trade far above their price, partly because they were sold for short windows or outside the normal store.

  • Purrfection has the most valuable single card of the older drops. Its sealed non-foil price of $229.50 rests on a thin market (the market price and the cheapest listing were the same), and its four non-foil cards add up to $235.98; and the Purrfection Kodama's Reach sells for $122.50 non-foil and $207.84 foil against $1.58 for the cheapest printing. The foil edition has no market price; the cheapest listing was $300.00 on 13 November 2026. We could not find what Hasbro charged for it in 2021.
  • Look at the Kitties costs about the same sealed ($286.84) as its four foils bought separately ($299.61). Lord Windgrace ($102.40) and Felidar Sovereign ($91.79) carry it.
  • Raining Cats and Dogs is the most expensive cat product, 3.8 times its $149.99 price, and $575.03 against $577.87 on 1 November. Its lowest listing was $524.00 on 13 November 2026.

Which cat Secret Lair is worth buying?

It depends on what you want from it. For a sealed drop that costs less than its cards, Witch's Familiar and Cats of Chaos are the best buys on 13 November 2026. For the drop that has gained most, Purr Majesty. For players, the singles.

If you want…Do this (TCGplayer, 13 Nov 2026)
The best cat drop for the shelfPurr Majesty, $117.83 non-foil. It costs about the same as its five cards, so you pay no premium for it sealed
A sealed drop below its card valueWitch's Familiar ($89.36, cards worth $117.36) or Cats of Chaos ($53.24, cards worth $75.72)
GarfieldMotivationally Challenged ($39.88) for Garfield and Odie, Best Buds. Our Only Thought Is to Entertain You has a market price $14.24 above its cards, but listings start at $26.00: compare before you buy
Cards to playToby's Journey sealed ($31.63 market, from $34.94 listed) costs little more than its Prismatic Vista ($29.26). Aggravated Assault from Cats of Chaos ($26.83) costs barely more than its cheapest printing ($25.23)
The whole superdropThe Cats Rule Everything bundle at $881.23 (lowest listing $790) costs $65.32 less than its 16 drops bought separately ($946.55)
The Cats vs Dogs dropCats Are Better Than Dogs costs $10.02 more sealed than its cards ($151.33 vs $141.31); for the cat Arcane Signet alone, buy the single at $64.89
An investmentBe careful. Purr Majesty and Witch's Familiar already trade at three to four times their price, and two foil editions sell below theirs

Can you still buy the Cats Are the Best Secret Lair?

Only second-hand, as far as we can tell. Wizards sold the drops "while supplies last", and its product page limited at least one Garfield drop to five per customer. We found no report of a sell-out time or a restock, and the store's product page we opened on 13 November 2026 didn't show a clear stock status. Every product on this page had TCGplayer listings on 13 November 2026, the cheapest Purr Majesty non-foil at $104.99 and the cheapest Witch's Familiar non-foil at $82.00. Our Secret Lair guide compares the places to buy a drop after the sale.

Every card in these drops is a reprint, so each follows the legality of the original card. All are legal in Commander, the format most Secret Lair cards end up in; see what is EDH if you're new to it, or our Commander precon guide for ready-made decks.
