Wizards Pulls Monster Hunter Magic Cards
27 Nov
Summary
- Magic: The Gathering's Monster Hunter set release was canceled.
- Wizards of the Coast admitted the set missed the mark on flavor.
- Capcom will work with Wizards on a revised Monster Hunter set.
Wizards of the Coast has canceled the release of its highly anticipated Monster Hunter Secret Lair set, originally scheduled for December 1st. This decision comes after significant criticism from fans regarding the set's card choices and thematic integration, which failed to adequately capture the essence of the Monster Hunter franchise.
The company publicly acknowledged shortcomings in card selection and mechanics, stating the set did not meet their usual standards. This marks a rare instance of Wizards pulling a Secret Lair release, highlighting the importance of fan reception to their 'Universes Beyond' collaborations.
However, this is not the end of the collaboration. Wizards of the Coast has confirmed they will work with Capcom to "take another swing" at creating a Monster Hunter Magic: The Gathering set, promising a more faithful and appealing product for fans of both properties.
