"It featured a number of characters and creatures from the hit Capcom multiplayer series and a Sol Ring promo card in each drop. But fans were not impressed. The card selection for the reprints was criticized for being uninspired and having nothing to do with the series it was drawing from. In fact, the fan reaction was so loud that Wizards of the Coast has done something completely unexpected: take the Secret Lair drop back to the drawing board."
"Players had three main complaints about the Secret Lair x Monster Hunter collaboration. The first was that the card selection was pretty bland and not aligned with the series' lore. Valstrax, the silver Elder Dragon, was a Sol Ring despite being neither an artifact nor a ring. Some took issue with the color selection for various references, as well as the card art. The general bewilderment was best encapsulated by the Champion of Kotoko card, which misspelled Kokoto, the village from the very first Monster Hunter game."
Magic: The Gathering's Secret Lair x Monster Hunter drop was revealed last week and included characters and creatures from Capcom's multiplayer series plus a Sol Ring promo card in each drop. Fans criticized the reprint selection as uninspired and unrelated to Monster Hunter lore, with Valstrax represented as a Sol Ring and questionable color and art choices. A notable error misspelled Kokoto as Kotoko on the Champion of Kotoko card. Many reprints had secondary-market values below the Superdrop prices. Wizards of the Coast postponed and will rework the Superdrop, admitting it missed the mark on card selection and faithful integration, with new details promised next year.
