Wizards of the Coast unveiled bonus cards for the upcoming Secret Lair X Sonic the Hedgehog drop sets.
The new DTC sets (see “‘Sonic the Hedgehog’“) will have chance to contain a Sonic-themed Commander Tower or Lotus Petal. The Commander Tower comes as a “Master Emerald Shrine,” and the Lotus Petal comes a “Chaos Emerald.” The Lotus Petals come in six different-colored variants, and one random bonus card will come with each drop.
The addition of different-colored parallel bonus cards to Secret Lair sets is somewhat of an advancement in collectability tactics for WotC. It is a step towards what Topps currently does with their Topps Now series of cards. As an example, Topps Now recently released a Pope Leo XIV non-sports trading card as a DTC release. Fans could order the single card in bulk in the hopes of getting rare different-colored parallels of the Pope, included serialized designs. The Secret Lair X Sonic the Hedgehog sets are essentially employing the same tactic here to increase the collectability of the fixed sets (minus the serialized cards; but knowing WotC, that plan is probably in the works).
