MTG's Corn Maze Superdrop Adds Labyrinth, KPop Demon Hunters, and Marvel Zombies

Ready to maze-run with David Bowie as a Goblin King? Magic: The Gathering's latest Secret Lair Superdrop, Corn Maze, is bringing Jim Henson's Labyrinth, KPop Demon Hunters, and Marvel Zombies to the card game for the first time. Wizards of the Coast announced the drop just in time for Halloween, and unlike the darker Junji Ito drop, these collections keep things relatively lighthearted.

For most players, the biggest draws will be the KPop Demon Hunters and Labyrinth drops—the latter of which has three collections—along with a Marvel Zombies collection. The three Labyrinth drops are the highlight of the Corn Maze Superdrop. The Secret Lair x Jim Henson's Labyrinth: Fear Me, Love Me drop is all about Goblin kindred cards, headlined by Muxus, Goblin Grandee posing as Jareth, Goblin King with a beautiful illustration of David Bowie. You'll also find Claim the Firstborn as The Kidnapping of Toby, plus a copy of Trinisphere with art of Bowie holding a bunch of orbs—even if it doesn't fit any conceivable goblin deck.

It wouldn't be a Secret Lair Superdrop without some nigh-unreadable cards, and that's where Secret Lair x Jim Henson's Labyrinth: Through the Labyrinth comes in. The art is gorgeous, though some cards might be hard to parse from across the table. Wizards decided to print Leveler in this drop, which you can combine with The Beamtown Bullies or Thassa's Oracle to make your pod wish they were dropped in the Labyrinth.

There's also a KPop Demon Hunters drop with incredible cards that have combo potential. It comes with Freed From The Real and Underworld Breach, both notorious in decks built around them—there's a reason Breach has been banned in multiple formats. And Wizards is still working more Marvel content into Magic with a Marvel Zombies drop focused on Zombie kindred cards. But as cool as a Zombie Thor or Zombie Scarlet Witch commander would be, none of the cards in this drop are really worth the high price unless you really love Marvel Zombies.

Some of the other drops are seriously cool, too. The Manufactured Grounds by See Machine drop brings incredible art to the original artifact land cycle from Mirrodin. That drop probably doesn't make a lot of sense financially, but damn, does it look cool. Then there's the Peace, Love and Treefolk drop, which gives Timber Protector its first meaningful reprint besides the Lord of the Rings commander decks.

I'm probably going to pick up all of the Labyrinth drops, and if you want to grab one (or all) of them too, the Corn Maze Superdrop will be available starting at 9am PT / 12pm ET on October 12. Wizards of the Coast will even toss in a Labyrinth-flavored copy of Maze of Ith on any order over $199. Will you be picking up any of these drops? Let us know in the comments!
