While Secret Lair sets aren’t for everyone, there’s no denying that they add some of the best proxies you can get to Magic: the Gathering. Thanks to an exclusive reveal from IGN, we’re now able to see one of the most hilarious Secret Lair sets in all its glory: The MTG Secret Lair x Monty Python Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 set.
The MTG Secret Lair x Monty Python Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 set is comprised of nine core cards. However, as is usually the case with Secret Lair releases, there are foil and non-foil variants that differ in price to make the sets more approachable for those who can’t afford to purchase every single product. I grew up watching Monty Python movies, so I get a lot of the references in these cards, but I could understand some fans not knowing what they’re about and the set being a lot less appealing because of that.
All MTG x Monty Python Secret Lair cards in Vol. 1 and 2
Below, I’ve listed every card in the MTG Secret Lair x Monty Python Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 set. I’ve included the name of the card each Secret Lair card is based on so you can understand where they fit in the decks you play. As I’ve mentioned, these were exclusively revealed in a collaboration with IGN, but user ShowMeYourGs reposted them as a gallery to the MTG subreddit, where they’re much easier to scroll through.
- Dismember – ‘Tis But a Scratch!: Target creature gets -5/-5 until end of turn.
- Ashnod’s Altar – Sir Bedivere’s Scales: An Artifact card. Use it to sacrifice a creature and add two colorless Mana.

When Castle of Aaargh has no ice counters on it, sacrifice it. If you do, create Marit Lage, a legendary 20/20 black Avatar Creature token with Flying and Indestructible.
