The Gathering to Release Two Monty Python Sets

Wizards of the Coast is poised to continue its successful run of licensed Magic: The Gathering collaborations with the beloved British comedy classic, Monty Python and the Holy Grail. They have announced two distinct Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair sets titled “Monty Python and the Holy Grail Vol. 1” and “Vol. 2”. Both volumes are scheduled to be available for purchase starting Monday, July 29th at 9:00 AM PST and will remain on sale until Sunday, August 18th at 11:59 PM PST. However, these sets are limited in quantity and will only be available while supplies last on MagicSecretLair.com.

In addition to the online release, attendees at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con will have an exclusive opportunity to acquire both volumes in a Foil Edition. These limited editions will be available at the Hasbro Pulse booth (booth #3213). Comic-Con kicks off tomorrow, July 25th, 2024, and runs through July 28th, 2024. For fans who want to get their hands on these exclusive sets, it’s advisable to visit the booth early as supplies are expected to run out quickly.

Below are the details and card descriptions for the Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair volumes as provided by Wizards of the Coast.

Secret Lair x Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Vol. 1

“Five decades ago, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table set off on a sacred quest to reclaim the Holy Grail. They… still haven’t found it. But they stopped by Secret Lair and told us all about their escapades, immortalized in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Go watch it! We liked it so much that we made two drops inspired by it. This drop even has a double-sided Birds of Paradise that lets you choose between an African and European Swallow. How do we know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you’re a king.”

Secret Lair x Monty Python and the Holy Grail: Vol. 2

“The volume of this drop shall be ‘2,’ no more, no less. If thou proclaim it ‘1,’ thou speakest of our other drop. The cards herein are different. If thou pronounce the volume to be ‘3,’ thou speakest falsely for there is no such thing. ‘2’ shall be the volume of this drop. And in this drop, thou shalt discover cards featuring scenes and quotes from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. And perchance thou shalt lobbest thine cards against thy foe to gain victory most sweet.”
