After years of avoiding Magic_ The Gathering, the new Hatsune Miku set looks like the final nail in

Published on January 01, 0001

Last week, announced a new Secret Lair collab with the famous virtual pop star Hatsune Miku in what will amount to a year-long print schedule with four Secret Lair drops, each releasing seasonally throughout 2024. 

We've already [[link]] had [[link]] a sneak peek at the first six-card set, Hatsune Miku: Sakura Superstar, and honestly, every card is worth hunting for (via ). My personal favourite is a toss-up between Miku, the Renowned by , and Harmonize by , but I wouldn't turn my nose up at any of the other four cards on offer. 

In true Miku fashion, plenty of other artists are chiming in and creating their own illustrations for this upcoming set. This includes designs from , , , and . 

I've always enjoyed collecting TCGs, starting off with Pokemon EX Delta Species and the Yu-Gi-Oh Gold Series when I was younger. While I've tried to keep my collections up to date, I promised myself that I wouldn't invest in any other TCGs just to save my bank account from further ruin. But it looks like I'm going to have to break my rule for this upcoming Miku set. 

If, like me, you're going for gold on the Miku Secret Lair drop, then you'll be glad to know that pre-orders for the first set go live on [[link]] May 13, 2024, at 9 am PDT/ 12 pm EST/ 5 pm BST on the . You can either get the non-foil version for $30 or the foil version for $40 in English or Japanese. 

This isn't the first time my head has been turned by a Secret Lair run, , set back in 2020, was a close call as it showcased monsters like Mothra, Rodan, Hedorah, and obviously Godzilla against stunning landscapes in full-art renditions. was also so close to getting me into the TCG, but I managed to hold myself back despite the beautiful Galadriel, Gift-Giver, and Gandalf, White Rider cards. 

Honestly, collecting Magic cards is probably a long time coming at this rate, and once I push the button and pre-order the Hatsune Miku: Sakura Superstar set, it's open season for all future sets and collaborations that cross my path. 

But if you want to enjoy Magic and not get sucked into the wallet-draining world of TCG, then it's worth checking out , which will take place in the fantastical world of the 90s.

I appreciate the themed slot games, especially those based on movies and TV shows. They make the gaming experience more engaging and immersive. The combination of storyline, visuals, and bonus features makes each game feel unique. The progressive jackpots are thrilling, and it's exciting to watch the jackpot amounts grow as more players spin the reels. I hope they add even more jackpot slots because it adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay.

I love the overall aesthetic of the platform. The animations, visual effects, and sound design make the gaming experience more dynamic and immersive. It's one of the reasons I keep coming back. The variety of games is excellent, including table games like blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, in addition to slots. This keeps the platform interesting and allows me to switch games depending on my mood.
