The Short Answer

The Ghost of Tsushima Secret Lair cost $39.99 non-foil or $49.99 rainbow foil on 27 October 2025, and on 13 November 2026 it sells for $154.59 non-foil and $258.69 foil on TCGplayer. It is the most valuable of the seven PlayStation Superdrop drops and the first one to sell out, in about an hour and a half.

The drop holds one new card, Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima ($86.54 non-foil, $154.41 foil), four reprints with Ghost of Tsushima art (Path to Exile, Borne Upon a Wind, Ghostly Flicker and Eiganjo Castle as Castle Shimura), and the bonus card Atsu, Ghost of Yōtei. As singles the six cards come to $129.00 in non-foil, $25.59 less than the sealed drop, so buy singles to play and sealed to collect. Wizards has not made a Ghost of Yōtei drop.

A Secret Lair is Wizards of the Coast's online store for small themed sets of Magic: The Gathering cards, sold for a short window and shipped weeks later. The Ghost of Tsushima drop was one of seven in the PlayStation Secret Lair superdrop, next to The Last of Us, God of War, Uncharted and Horizon. Our MTG Secret Lair guide explains how drops work and what the others resell for. This page covers only Ghost of Tsushima: every card and the game moment behind it, what each sells for, and whether to buy sealed or singles.

What Cards Are in the Ghost of Tsushima Secret Lair?

Five cards and one bonus card. Jin Sakai is the only new card; the other four are reprints of existing Magic cards with new Ghost of Tsushima art, and one of them, Eiganjo Castle, is printed under a game name, Castle Shimura, with the Magic name underneath. All six are borderless with an inverted (light-on-dark) frame, and each came in non-foil and rainbow foil (Scryfall). Prices are TCGplayer market prices on 13 November 2026.

Wizards' product page leads with Jin's line from the game, "I am not your son. I am the Ghost.", and says Jin Sakai "receives a newly designed Magic: The Gathering card". The foil edition is rainbow foil in Wizards' announcement and on TCGplayer.

Which Ghost of Tsushima Characters and Moments Became Which Cards?

Each reprint was matched to a piece of the game, and three of them carry a quote from a Ghost of Tsushima character as flavour text (Scryfall). Here is what each card shows and why its Magic effect fits.

Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima (SLD 2226)

Jin stands in dark armour with an antlered helmet and a demon-faced mask, sword raised, among falling leaves, in Dominik Mayer's art. The card has no flavour text. Its two modes are named after the two ways Jin fights in the game: Standoff, the face-to-face duel he opens as a samurai, and Ghost, the stealth he learns when he gives up the samurai code. In Magic terms, whenever a creature you control attacks a player on its own, you choose: it gains double strike, or it can't be blocked. Jin is a 2/4 for {1}{W}{U}{B} and draws a card each time he deals combat damage to a player.

Path to Exile (SLD 2227): "I am not your son. I am the Ghost."

A kneeling warrior in a burst of white light under a looming helmeted face, also by Dominik Mayer. The flavour text is Jin's own line from his break with his uncle, Lord Shimura, who raised him, and it is the line Wizards chose to headline the drop. Path to Exile is one-mana removal that exiles a creature.

Borne Upon a Wind (SLD 2228): Yuriko

A rider on horseback against a setting sun, with a fox in the grass below. In the game a guiding wind leads Jin across Tsushima and foxes lead him to shrines. The flavour text is from Yuriko, the woman who looked after Jin as a child: "Your father is the wind at your back. Your mother, the birds in the trees..." The card lets you cast spells at instant speed for the turn and draws a card.

Ghostly Flicker (SLD 2229): Yuna

A masked fighter drops in with a grappling hook and a sword. The flavour text, "Kill them without a sound.", is from Yuna, the thief who rescues Jin at the start of the game and pushes him toward stealth. The card exiles two of your artifacts, creatures or lands and brings them straight back, a disappear-and-return trick.

Castle Shimura (SLD 2230): Eiganjo Castle

A tiered castle with teal roofs and red banners, seen through its gate, by Matteo Bassini. Castle Shimura is Lord Shimura's seat, which Jin fights to retake in the second act of the game. Eiganjo Castle is a legendary land that taps for white mana or prevents 2 damage to a legendary creature, so it protects Jin himself. It is the only one of the five drop cards printed under a new name; the bonus card, Atsu, is the other renamed card.

Atsu, Ghost of Yōtei (bonus, SLD 7055)

A woman in a wide straw hat kneels among swords planted in the ground, in Mitch Mohrhauser's art. Atsu is the hero of the sequel, Ghost of Yōtei, which PlayStation released on 2 October 2025, 25 days before the drop went on sale. Her flavour text is a line of narration about a vengeful spirit in the shadows of Mount Yōtei rather than a quote from a character. The card is a reprint of Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive: creatures you control with power or toughness 1 or less can't be blocked.

IGN revealed Atsu on 22 October 2025, the only PlayStation bonus card shown before the sale (MTGRocks). Sucker Punch's creative director Jason Connell told IGN that talks with Wizards began before Ghost of Yōtei was announced, and that Wizards reworked its schedule so the studio could supply Atsu's art later, with the release timed for just after the game's launch (as reported by Gamewave, 23 October 2025).

Is There a Ghost of Yōtei Secret Lair?

No. As of 13 November 2026, Wizards of the Coast has not announced a Ghost of Yōtei Secret Lair, and the only Ghost of Yōtei card on Scryfall is Atsu, Ghost of Yōtei, the bonus card that came with the Ghost of Tsushima drop in October 2025. Searches for a 2026 Ghost of Yōtei and Magic crossover turn up only the October 2025 coverage of that bonus card. If you want the one Ghost of Yōtei card, buy Atsu as a single ($4.07 non-foil on 13 November 2026) rather than the whole drop.

How Much Is the Ghost of Tsushima Secret Lair Worth Now?

$154.59 non-foil and $258.69 rainbow foil, TCGplayer market prices on 13 November 2026. That is 3.87 times the $39.99 non-foil price and 5.17 times the $49.99 foil price. The lowest listings that day were a little cheaper: $145.91 non-foil and $243.00 foil.

Five cards + Atsu as singles$129.00$240.08
Sealed premium over all six singles$25.59$18.61

The non-foil price has been flat this month: $155.73 on 1 November in our Secret Lair resale table, $154.71 on 8 November and $154.59 on 13 November 2026. Among the 2025 drops in that table, only Jaws, Iron Maiden: Eddie Unchained and the An Encyclopedia of Magic Countdown Kit trade higher. Within the PlayStation Superdrop it is $56.80 ahead of the next drop, God of War: Greek ($97.79 on 13 November 2026).

One card carries the drop. Jin Sakai is 67% of the six non-foil singles ($86.54 of $129.00) and 64% of the foils. The foil premium is far bigger than it was at launch: the rainbow foil drop costs $104.10 more than the non-foil, against $10 more from Wizards, and the foil Jin Sakai ($154.41) now costs almost exactly as much as a sealed non-foil drop ($154.59).

How Much Is Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima Worth?

$86.54 non-foil and $154.41 rainbow foil on TCGplayer on 13 November 2026, the most valuable card in the PlayStation Superdrop. It has only one printing (SLD 2226 on Scryfall), so every copy came out of this drop and there is no cheaper version to buy.

The price has swung. MTGRocks reported on 10 May 2026 that near-mint non-foil copies cost $119.95, up from about $69 a few months earlier, and put the rise down to the drop's limited run and growing Commander demand. By 8 November 2026 it was $90.53, and on 13 November $86.54. Anyone who bought at the May price is down about 28%. The foil has dropped less: $156.42 on 8 November, $154.41 now.

Should You Buy It Sealed or as Singles?

Buy singles if you want to play the cards, and sealed only if you collect sealed Secret Lairs. On 13 November 2026:

  • To play Jin Sakai: buy Jin ($86.54) and the reprints in their cheapest printings. The five cards plus Tetsuko Umezawa come to about $100, against $154.59 sealed.
  • To own the Ghost of Tsushima art: the six non-foil singles cost $129.00, $25.59 less than sealed. In foil the gap is $18.61 ($240.08 against $258.69).
  • To collect sealed: look at the lowest listing rather than the market price. Sealed non-foil was listed from $145.91 against a $154.59 market price, which narrows the premium over singles to about $17.
  • To open and sell: it doesn't pay. A sealed non-foil copy at market price returns about $129 in singles before fees and shipping.

If you are buying several PlayStation drops, the Trophy Bundles include Ghost of Tsushima. The Non-Foil Trophy Bundle (all seven non-foil drops) had a TCGplayer market price of $387.50 on 13 November 2026 and the Platinum Trophy Bundle (all fourteen) $822.25, both on very few sales, with the lowest listings at $499.99 and $999.99. Our PlayStation Secret Lair guide compares every drop and bundle.

When Did the Ghost of Tsushima Secret Lair Release, and How Fast Did It Sell Out?

It went on sale on 27 October 2025 at 9 a.m. PT and sold out in about an hour and a half, the first of the seven PlayStation drops to go (MTGRocks, 28 October 2025).

2 Oct 2025

Ghost of Yōtei, the sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, comes out on PlayStation 5 (PlayStation Blog).

22 Oct 2025

IGN reveals the bonus card, Atsu, Ghost of Yōtei, with an interview with Sucker Punch. The next day MTGRocks calls it "a rather unexciting reskin" of a card with "virtually no secondary market value".

27 Oct 2025

The PlayStation Superdrop goes on sale at 9 a.m. PT at $39.99 non-foil and $49.99 foil per drop. Buyers report queues of about an hour, and Ghost of Tsushima sells out in about an hour and a half (MTGRocks).

28 Oct 2025

Jin Sakai already leads close to 3,000 EDHREC decks, a day after the sale (MTGRocks).

18 Dec 2025

Scheduled date for the non-foil PlayStation drops to reach WPN game stores (ICv2). Foils stay Secret Lair only.

10 May 2026

MTGRocks reports Jin Sakai at $119.95 near mint, up from about $69.

13 Nov 2026

Sealed non-foil trades at $154.59 and foil at $258.69 on TCGplayer; Jin Sakai at $86.54. No reprint announced.

Will It Be Reprinted?

We found no announcement of a reprint or restock of the Ghost of Tsushima drop as of 13 November 2026. The non-foil was also scheduled for WPN game stores on 18 December 2025 (ICv2). MTGRocks wrote in May 2026 that Wizards now gives "slightly more supply" to local game stores rather than reprinting drops. Until that changes, TCGplayer and other resellers are the only place to buy it.

Is Jin Sakai a Good Commander?

Yes, and he is the most popular PlayStation commander, with about 18,000 decks on EDHREC on 13 November 2026, ranked #101 of all commanders. He went from almost 3,000 decks the day after the sale to over 12,000 by May 2026 (MTGRocks) and about 18,000 now.

Jin is a white-blue-black commander. The deck attacks with one creature at a time, usually one big threat wearing equipment, and picks double strike or unblockable each turn. EDHREC's most played cards with him are Path to Exile, Swords to Plowshares, Swiftfoot Boots, Counterspell and Unstoppable Slasher.

The drop was built to go with him. Of about 18,000 Jin Sakai decks on EDHREC on 13 November 2026:

Card from the dropJin Sakai decks that play itShare
Path to Exile14,54981%
Eiganjo Castle (Castle Shimura)9,40752%
Ghostly Flicker4,19823%
Borne Upon a Wind4,01822%
Tetsuko Umezawa, Fugitive (Atsu)2,26413%

The cards are legal in Commander, Legacy and Vintage (Wizards). Jin Sakai is not legal in Standard, Pioneer or Modern; the reprints keep their existing legality, so Path to Exile, Borne Upon a Wind, Ghostly Flicker and Eiganjo Castle are all Modern-legal (Scryfall). New to Commander? Our what is EDH guide covers the format.
