Secret Lair Extra Life 2026: Rise of the Polygons Goes on Sale Online November 16

Wizards of the Coast's Extra Life 2026 Secret Lair, Rise of the Polygons, goes on sale November 16 to 30, 2026 at $39.99 non-foil or $49.99 foil, with 50% of the sale price donated to Children's Miracle Network to support Seattle Children's Hospital, per Wizards on November 3. Limited copies sell early at the MagicCon: Atlanta merch booth, November 13 to 15.

The Cards

Per Wizards, the drop follows "the Young Pyromancer who needs to level up before they can take on the fearsome Balefire Dragon," in the style of a blocky-polygon console game:

• 1x Balefire Dragon
• 1x Big Score
• 1x Young Pyromancer
• 1x Sword of Truth and Justice
• 1x Elemental token

The official card images show Secret Lair numbers 2902 to 2906, with Balefire Dragon and Sword of Truth and Justice marked mythic and Big Score and Young Pyromancer marked rare, and credit Brendan Sullivan as the illustrator of all five.

Prices and Dates

• Non-foil: $39.99
• Foil: $49.99
• Online sale: November 16 to November 30 on the Secret Lair store, with Wizards listing the time as 1 a.m. PT. The store shows a notify-me banner for the drop as of November 8
• Early copies: limited quantities at the MagicCon: Atlanta merch booth, November 13 to 15, while supplies last
• Charity: 50% of the sale price, less third-party transaction fees, goes to Children's Miracle Network via Our Change Foundation

The Rest of the Extra Life Program

Per Wizards:

• MTG Arena, November 16 to 30: a Secret Lair sleeve bundle with the drop's art for 3,000 gems, a sleeve bundle with Anthony Garzonna's art for 1,800 gems and a sticker emote for 800 gems, with all proceeds less fees going to Extra Life
• MagicCon: Atlanta only: a Dragon Shield playmat ($25) and sleeves ($20) with Garzonna's art, with $10 per item donated
• At the booth: Wizards says 100% of proceeds from its Extra Life merchandise and booth copies of Rise of the Polygons, minus third-party fees, go to Extra Life, and a $20 donation earns a Loot pin

Its video game theme picks up from 2024's Pixel Perfect | Extra Life 2024, which Wizards says went back to the 16-bit era. Last year's Extra Life drop, Secret Lair x Play-Doh: Squishful Thinking, sold at the same $39.99 non-foil and $49.99 rainbow foil prices, from September 29 to November 9, 2025.

What It Means for Collectors

This is four cards plus the Elemental token Young Pyromancer makes, and the foil costs $10 more than the non-foil. Our take: buy it for the charity and Brendan Sullivan's art. Online, 50% of the price (about $20 on a non-foil and $25 on a foil, before fees) goes to Children's Miracle Network for Seattle Children's Hospital, and the online window is two weeks this year against about six weeks in 2025.
