One of Fortnite’s biggest collabs isn’t even happening in the game: it’s happening in another game, Magic: the Gathering. Fortnite will be celebrated in MTG with not one, but two Secret Lair products.
What is a Secret Lair? It’s a print-to-sale product that’s only offered for a limited “drop” period, comprised of reprints of cards with new artwork. The Fortnite Secret Lair will follow suit, and be made of reprints with Fortnite themed art.
2022 is going to be an exciting year for Magic! Get ready to explore futuristic Kamigawa, watch the epic mech battle of Urza vs Mishra, meet the crime families of New Capenna, and more.

Secret Lairs also typically do not come with more than five cards each, and with two products on the way let’s take a look at the 10 cards I’m expecting to be in this set. These cards will represent concepts from Fortnite first, but I’ll also consider their own gameplay utility.
10 Fortnite Magic cards I want – Fortnite Secret Lair MtG predictions
Honorary Mention- Lands
With two Secret Lairs and 10 cards between them, I could also see a cycle (a unified group of Magic cards) of lands that represent iconic locations in Fortnite. I don’t think this will be the case, since one of the key images shown for the collab does not depict a location. That brings me to-
10- Revel in Riches
There’s not a ton of cards that feature dancing proper, and certainly not enough that are even playable. Revel in Riches covers two aspects of Fortnite: the party and loot. The key art shown to promote the Fortnite Secret Lair could very well be this card, given the color pallet typically used for black cards in Magic.
9- Dress Down
Everyone starts a game of Fortnite without anything. Sometimes, it’s good to remember your roots, and Dress Down is a great way to get everything back to basics.
