It's almost time for MagicCon: Las Vegas 2026, and many Magic players are gearing up to attend! But even if you're not going, Wizards of the Coast had a special item available on the Secret Lair store to emulate some of the swag you could pick up otherwise. It's time to discuss the Festival in a Box!
<h2>Festival in a Box Contents</h2>
As usual, the Festival in a Box contains the following items, described in broad strokes:
<ul>
<li>One booster box of Mystery Booster 2</li>
<li>Three promotional cards, including one playtest card</li>
<li>An exclusive Secret Lair drop</li>
</ul>
Let's get into what these products really entail.
<h3>Mystery Booster 2 Box</h3>
This is the main draw for most players hoping to acquire the Festival in a Box product. The item contains 24 booster packs of Mystery Booster 2. What's in the packs? Well, these packs pull from a select pool of 200 different releases, and the selection is so varied that we couldn't possibly get into that in much depth. However, each pack has one white-bordered card, one playtest card, and one card with the Future Sight frame (that has a very low chance of being in traditional foil).
For more information on this item, you can check out Wizards of the Coast's article detailing the contents <a href="https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/feature/whats-inside-mystery-booster-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.
<h3>Promotional Cards for Festival in a Box</h3>
But wait, there's more!
Festival in a Box typically has a few promos in it in addition to the other items listed, and this time is no exception. The promos are:
<ul>
<li><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Consecrated Sphinx" href="#" target="_blank">Consecrated Sphinx</a>, in a foil retro frame with art from Mirrodin Besieged</li>
<li><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Counterspell" href="#" target="_blank">Counterspell</a>, in a foil retro frame with art from Tempest</li>
<li>In Residence, a playtest card</li>
</ul>
<h3>Secret Lair: Viva las Rakdos</h3>
The last item within the Festival in a Box is Secret Lair: Viva las Rakdos. This collection of five cards has a red-black lean and wondrous carnival aesthetics. The five cards in this drop are as follows and are only available in this product:
<ul>
<li>1x Foil <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Talisman of Indulgence" href="#" target="_blank">Talisman of Indulgence</a></li>
<li>1x Foil <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Dark Petition" href="#" target="_blank">Dark Petition</a></li>
<li>1x Foil <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Lightning Greaves" href="#" target="_blank">Lightning Greaves</a></li>
<li>1x Foil <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Beseech the Mirror" href="#" target="_blank">Beseech the Mirror</a></li>
<li>1x Foil <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Light Up the Stage" href="#" target="_blank">Light Up the Stage</a></li>
</ul>
<h2>Update</h2>
While writing this piece up, Festival in a Box 2026 unfortunately sold out on the Secret Lair website. Such is the way of Secret Lair products like this, I suppose. However, you can still pick a copy up if you're going to MagicCon: Las Vegas.
But for now, let's open the floor to you, dear readers. Did you get your hands on this Festival in a Box drop? Are you going to go to MagicCon: Las Vegas? If so, are you going to try to get ahold of the drop in person? Sound off in the comments below!
