Monster Hunter Collaboration Leaks

Magic: The Gathering fans, big news! Capcom just revealed an epic collaboration between MTG and Monster Hunter that’s set to drop this December! If you’re into trading card games or just love monster-slaying action, you’ll want to pay attention. This collaboration is part of a year packed with crossovers, and 2026 is gearing up to be even bigger.

Earlier this year, we saw some fun MTG Secret Lair releases, including cards inspired by popular games on PlayStation. One of the key highlights of this collab is the upcoming MTG Secret Lair x Monster Hunter release, which is dropping on Monday, December 1, 2025, at 9 am PST. Here’s what you can expect from the four themed drops:

• Secret Lair x Monster Hunter: The Hunt
  • Blind Obedience with Malenzo from Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak.
  • Snap with Kushala Dora from Monster Hunter 2.
  • Village Rites highlighting Magnamalo and Tobi-Kadachi from Monster Hunter Rise.
  • Mizzium Mortars featuring Yian Garuga from Monster Hunter Generations and Monster Hunter 2.
  • Tooth and Nail featuring Azure Rathalos and Seregios from Monster Hunter 4.
• Secret Lair x Monster Hunter: The Hunters
  • Grand Abolisher featuring Tigrex Armor with Bone Scythes from Monster Hunter Generations.
  • Archaeomancer with Velkhana Armor from Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.
  • Grim Haruspex with Nargacuga Armor and more.
  • Imperial Recruiter showing off Rathalos Armor.
  • Champion of Lambholt featuring Astalos Armor.
• Secret Lair x Monster Hunter: The Monsters
  • Amareth, the Lustrous with Velkhana from Monster Hunter World: Iceborne.
  • Nezahal, Primal Tide featuring Lagiacrus.
  • Razaketh, the Foulblooded showing off Gore Malago.
  • Drakuseth, Maw of Flames with Rathalos.
• Secret Lair x Monster Hunter: The Monsters 2
  • Wasitora, Nekorus Queen featuring Nargacuga.
  • Kalamax, the Stormsire with Brachydios.
  • Sarulf, Realm Eater with Zinogre.
  • Vaevictis Asmadi featuring Fatalis.
  • Ziatora, the Incinerator highlighting a new epic.

Pricing is pretty friendly too, with each drop going for around $30 for the standard version and $40 for foils. However, there’s been some criticism online mainly because these drops feature reprints rather than new, unique cards. Some fans were expecting fresh mechanics similar to recent crossovers like MTG‘s Jin Sakai card. But you might still find value for casual or budget decks!
