Read on for Wizards of the Coast's press release, plus what they're doing to ensure everyone who wants a copy gets one.

Hatsune Miku Deck Press Release

According to Wizards of the Coast in a press release today:

Wizards of the Coast has announced Secret Lair Commander Deck: Hatsune Miku, a new ready-to-play 100-card Commander deck celebrating the global virtual singer through dazzling artwork, joyful gameplay, and the unmistakable energy of a stadium-sized pop performance.

Designed by Magic: The Gathering’s Carmen Klomparens, this deck is the first Universes Beyond Secret Lair Commander Deck, combining the creativity of Secret Lair with one of the world’s most recognizable virtual performers. Headlined by Trostani, Selesnya’s Voice as “Miku, Song of the People,” the deck invites players to flood the board with creatures, gain massive amounts of life, and turn that momentum into a performance worthy of an encore.

Secret Lair Commander Deck: Hatsune Miku captures the bright, expressive, and collaborative spirit that has made Hatsune Miku a global phenomenon. The deck features 13 cards with new art by Japanese artists, including a special illustration by KEI, Hatsune Miku’s first software packaging illustrator, for Miku, Song of the People. Additional artists, including fan-favorite creators such as HASSAN and NAOKI SAITO, help bring Miku to life. That visual celebration carries through to the mana base with foil borderless basic lands featuring new artwork, making the deck feel like a full Miku production from the first land drop to the final encore.

Built around a classic green-white lifegain strategy, Secret Lair Commander Deck: Hatsune Miku plays exactly like a great Miku performance feels: joyful, communal, and bigger with every verse. Cards like Archangel of ThuneArchangel of Thune, Aetherflux ReservoirAetherflux Reservoir, Crested SunmareCrested Sunmare, Rhys the RedeemedRhys the Redeemed, Voice of the BlessedVoice of the Blessed, and Mirari's WakeMirari's Wake help players build an ever-growing board state, gain life in huge bursts, and transform that life total into a win condition.

About Open Accessibility

One of the things we have learned about the Hatsune Miku Commander Deck launch is that it has a 24-hour release window. However, during the drop's 24-hour release window, all orders placed for the deck will be fulfilled. Wizards of the Coast has some of them handy and ready to send out already, but for any orders that miss out on that initial quantity of stock, they will get theirs in May 2027 (if they're in the United States) or June 2027 (if in the United Kingdom or Europe). Nevertheless, the Hatsune Miku Commander Deck is going to cost you $149.99.
