Update[18/2/2022]: the cards are announced officially. The Street Fighter Secret Lair cards will be available from now until 18 March. Card descriptions and abilities are also updated, with the final card being revealed on 20th February.
Original Story
Leaks may have revealed that Magic The Gathering (MTG) will soon be collaborating with Capcom’s fighting game IP, Street Fighter. Eight Magic The Gathering Secret Lair x Street Fighter cards have been leaked by Twitter user @lxduo84, which was posted on the Magic TCG subreddit.
The Twitter post in question has since been removed, which probably means that it’s genuine. However, MTG publisher Wizards Of The Coast has yet to confirm or deny the new Magic The Gathering Street Fighter cards at the time of writing.
