The Short Answer

The Sonic Secret Lair is three Magic: The Gathering drops of seven cards, sold by Wizards of the Coast on 14 July 2025. Friends & Foes ($39.99 non-foil, $49.99 rainbow foil) has seven new cards for Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, Tails, Amy Rose, Dr. Eggman and Super State. Chasing Adventure and Turbo Gear ($29.99 and $39.99) reprint existing cards with Sonic art. Each drop came with one random bonus card: the Master Emerald Shrine or one of seven Chaos Emeralds.

On 13 November 2026 every sealed edition trades above its launch price on TCGplayer: $58.37 for Friends & Foes non-foil, $52.29 for Chasing Adventure and $54.40 for Turbo Gear. The Chaos Emeralds are the most valuable Sonic cards at $170.35 to $259.44 each. The Sonic the Hedgehog card on its own costs $3.70.

What is the Sonic Secret Lair? (for Sonic fans new to Magic)

Magic: The Gathering is a card game in which each card is a spell, a creature or an item you play from your hand. Secret Lair is Wizards of the Coast's online store for small, limited runs of themed cards, usually reprints of existing Magic cards with new art. Our MTG Secret Lair guide explains how the drops, the queue and shipping work.

The Sonic Superdrop, made with SEGA, put Sonic the Hedgehog into Magic for the first time. Wizards announced it on 27 June 2025 and sold it on MagicSecretLair.com from 14 July 2025, 9 a.m. PT (Wizards, EDHREC). It was three drops of seven cards. One drop, Friends & Foes, is all new cards with their own rules; the other two give Sonic art and names to cards that already existed. As of 13 November 2026 these are the only Sonic cards in Magic: Scryfall lists no other Sonic printing.

You don't need to play Magic to collect them. But the six character cards are legendary creatures, so each can lead a deck in Commander, Magic's most popular casual format (see what is EDH).

What cards are in the Sonic Secret Lair?

21 cards in three drops of seven, plus eight possible bonus cards. Wizards' announcement lists the cards and prices; collector numbers are Scryfall's (Secret Lair, SLD).

Every drop came in two finishes, non-foil and rainbow foil, which share a collector number. All the cards are borderless except the two tokens. Prices are TCGplayer market prices on 13 November 2026. Wizards' full name for the main drop is "Secret Lair x Sonic: Friends & Foes"; TCGplayer lists all three as "Secret Lair x Sonic the Hedgehog Superdrop".

Which Sonic characters are in Magic, and on which cards?

Six characters got their own card, and most of them turn up again on the reprints, in the art, the card name or a quote in the flavor text (Scryfall):

CharacterOwn card (new)Also appears on
SonicSonic the Hedgehog (2087); Super State (2081) shows Super SonicSol Ring, Generous Gift and Power Sneakers (Lightning Greaves) quote him; Tornado, Sonic's Biplane (Weatherlight)

Amy RoseAmy Rose (2083)Piko Piko Hammer (Hammer of Nazahn); Open the Armory quotes her
Dr. EggmanDr. Eggman (2084)Egg Hammer (Myr Battlesphere) and the Egg Pawn token (Myr)

The bonus cards add the Master Emerald Shrine, with a prayer by Tikal as flavor text, and the seven Chaos Emeralds. The Chasing Adventure Treasure token is drawn as a gold ring (MTGRocks).

Friends & Foes: the seven new Sonic cards

Friends & Foes is the only drop with new cards: Wizards calls them "seven brand-new cards" and says they are legal in Commander, Legacy and Vintage. All seven are mythic and none has been reprinted. Prices are TCGplayer market prices on 13 November 2026.

7 singles$55.54$58.11
Sealed drop$58.37$67.24
Launch price$39.99$49.99

Knuckles and Super State hold most of the drop's value: $42.48 of the $55.54 non-foil total. The title character is one of the cheapest cards in the set. Sealed costs $2.83 more than the seven non-foil singles, and $9.13 more in rainbow foil.

Chasing Adventure: Sol Ring and the Treasure ring

Chasing Adventure keeps each card's Magic name but gives its six cards Sonic art and a character quote as flavor text; the Treasure token has art only. The Sol Ring shows Sonic leaping through a giant ring, with the quote "An adventure's no fun if it's too easy." Before release, MTGRocks called the Sol Ring the card that "could very well save" the drop, and warned of "a miserable $13 value" if it didn't.

This is the drop where sealed is furthest ahead of its parts: $8.97 more than the singles in non-foil and $15.46 more in rainbow foil. It is also the drop that sold out first, in both finishes, in under five hours on launch day (MTGRocks, 14 July 2025).

Turbo Gear: Knuckles's Gloves, Air Shoes and the Piko Piko Hammer

Turbo Gear renames seven existing cards as items from the Sonic games. The Sonic name is printed as the card's title, with the original Magic name in small type beneath it, so the cards play exactly like the originals.

Sealed drop$54.40$54.85
Launch price$29.99$39.99

Knuckles's Gloves is the most valuable card in any of the three drops, at $25.04 non-foil, though the cheapest copy of The Reaver Cleaver is already $22.47 (Scryfall, 13 November 2026). Turbo Gear has the smallest foil premium: the rainbow foil drop costs $0.45 more than non-foil, so its rainbow edition has gained the least, 1.37 times its $39.99 price.

The Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald Shrine: the Sonic bonus cards

Every Sonic drop came with one random bonus card: the Master Emerald Shrine or one of seven Chaos Emeralds. StarCityGames reported on 8 July 2025 that "a bonus card is guaranteed in each drop, there is no way to know which one you'll be getting." The Master Emerald Shrine is Command Tower; each Chaos Emerald is Lotus Petal, a card that already costs $28.38 in its cheapest printing. All eight are foil only, and all seven emeralds are by Mike Burns.

Colours are from the Scryfall card scans. All seven emeralds together cost $1,465.40 at market price. They have fallen a long way since launch: MTGRocks reported eBay sales "as much as $1500" and an average "closer to around $700" on 21 July 2025.

When did the Sonic Secret Lair release?

On 14 July 2025 at 9 a.m. PT, on MagicSecretLair.com (Wizards, EDHREC). Wizards limited buyers to "two (2) of each product listing", so two of each drop in each finish and two of each bundle.

27 Jun 2025

Wizards announces the Sonic Superdrop: Friends & Foes at $39.99 non-foil and $49.99 rainbow foil, Chasing Adventure and Turbo Gear at $29.99 and $39.99. Friends & Foes non-foil is also announced for WPN game stores.

8 Jul 2025

StarCityGames reports the bonus cards: the Master Emerald Shrine and the Chaos Emerald, with "six other variants".

14 Jul 2025

The drops go on sale at 9 a.m. PT. Buyers report queues of "well over two hours", and Chasing Adventure sells out in both finishes in under five hours, with every bundle that contains it (MTGRocks).

21 Jul 2025

Chaos Emeralds sell on eBay for up to $1,500, around $700 on average (MTGRocks).

21 Aug 2025

Friends & Foes non-foil goes on sale in WPN game stores (Wizards Play Network). Japan and EMEA stores get it in September.

13 Nov 2026

Every sealed Sonic edition trades above its launch price on TCGplayer, from $52.29 to $67.24 for a single drop.

How much did the Sonic Secret Lair cost?

$39.99 non-foil or $49.99 rainbow foil for Friends & Foes, and $29.99 or $39.99 for Chasing Adventure and Turbo Gear (Wizards). The three drops bought separately came to $99.97 non-foil or $129.97 rainbow foil. Friends & Foes, the drop with the new cards, cost $10 more. Wizards offered free shipping on orders over $100.

Wizards also sold two bundles: the Super Sonic Bundle, the three drops in one finish, and the Sonic 100% Complete Bundle, both Super Sonic Bundles (foil and non-foil) together, per the Secret Lair store pages. We found no source for either bundle's launch price, so we don't give one.

How much is the Sonic Secret Lair worth now?

Every edition trades above its launch price on 13 November 2026: $52.29 to $58.37 non-foil and $54.85 to $67.24 rainbow foil (TCGplayer market prices).

  • The two reprint drops have gained the most in non-foil: Turbo Gear 1.81 times and Chasing Adventure 1.74 times their $29.99 price. Friends & Foes, the drop with the new cards, has gained the least, 1.46 times. Our guess, which no source confirms, is that the extra non-foil copies sold in game stores held its price down.
  • Friends & Foes non-foil is up from $57.07 on 1 November 2026, the figure in our Secret Lair resale table, to $58.37.
  • The bundles cost more than the drops bought one by one. The three non-foil drops cost $165.06 separately against $181.02 for the bundle; in rainbow foil, $185.50 against $206.80. The 100% Complete Bundle's market price is below the two Super Sonic Bundles together ($387.82), but its three listings start at $370.01.
  • Rainbow foil adds little to Turbo Gear or to the singles. Turbo Gear rainbow is $0.45 above non-foil, and no rainbow foil single sells for more than $2.95 above its non-foil version (the Sol Ring).

In all six editions, a sealed Sonic drop sells for more than its seven cards. That is the opposite of many Secret Lairs, where the singles are worth more (our Furby Secret Lair page has examples). Part of the premium is the bonus card: a sealed drop still holds a chance at a Chaos Emerald. The singles totals leave the bonus card out. TCGplayer market prices on 13 November 2026.

The most valuable Sonic MTG cards

The seven Chaos Emeralds are the seven most valuable Sonic cards, at $170.35 to $259.44. Below them, no card from the drops themselves reaches $26.

What you pay for the Sonic art

The reprints all have cheaper versions. The Sonic versions sell for 1.1 to 12.4 times the cheapest copy of the same card (cheapest non-foil printing on Scryfall, 13 November 2026):

The Sonic name and art add the most to the Commander staples Sol Ring and Swiftfoot Boots, and almost nothing to The Reaver Cleaver, which was already expensive.

Is the Sonic Secret Lair worth buying?

As a sealed collectible, yes; to play the cards or to own one character, buy singles. Every sealed drop on 13 November 2026 is worth more than its singles and above its launch price. But the cards most Sonic fans want are cheap on their own: Sonic is $3.70, Shadow $5.43, Tails $1.05 and Amy Rose $1.41.

Opening a sealed drop to sell the cards loses money at market prices in all six editions, by $2.83 to $15.46, before selling fees and shipping on seven separate orders. The only way it pays is by pulling a Chaos Emerald, and nobody knows the odds.

Can you still buy the Sonic Secret Lair?

Only second-hand, as far as we can tell. Wizards sold the drops "in limited quantities" with no set end date, and hasn't announced a restock. Chasing Adventure sold out on launch day; Friends & Foes non-foil also went to game stores on 21 August 2025, so a local store may still have one. On TCGplayer on 13 November 2026, each sealed drop has 23 to 58 listings, and the cheapest single drop is $50.00 (Chasing Adventure non-foil and Turbo Gear rainbow foil). Our Secret Lair guide compares where to buy a drop after the sale.

Will Sonic be reprinted, or get a second drop?

None has been announced as of 13 November 2026, and Scryfall lists no Sonic card outside these drops. A January 2026 article about a "second round" of Sonic Secret Lairs on Commander's Herald is satire: the site files it under "Satire". The Sonic art could still return one day, as Secret Lair art sometimes does, but nothing points to it.

Yes. Wizards says the Friends & Foes cards are legal in Commander, Legacy and Vintage, and Scryfall lists all 19 non-token Sonic cards and the bonus cards as legal in Commander. The reprints follow the original cards' rules: Sol Ring is banned in Legacy and restricted in Vintage, and the Chaos Emeralds, as Lotus Petal, are restricted in Vintage. The new Friends & Foes cards are not legal in Modern, and neither are Sol Ring, The Reaver Cleaver, Hammer of Nazahn or the Chaos Emeralds. The two tokens, Treasure and Egg Pawn, are game pieces rather than cards for your deck; our MTG tokens guide explains them.

Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, Tails, Amy Rose and Dr. Eggman are legendary creatures, so each can be the commander of a deck. Scryfall tags all of them as Universes Beyond, Magic's line of crossover cards.
