On December 9, 2026, Secret Lair x MSCHF: The Zeta Set will go on sale again for a single 24-hour limited order window. No setting an alarm for a specific minute and hoping. If you want Secret Lair x MSCHF: The Zeta Set, everyone who orders it during that window will have it fulfilled. We estimate these orders to begin shipping in the second half of 2027. We'll provide more details on that estimated timing as we get closer to the sale.

What a crock of shit.

They keep saying that ‘The Zeta Set’ is going print to demand. They have not mentioned once in that article that the zeta set is a $20, 7-card booster, with 121 cards in the set (363 with all the print variants). With perfect luck (no repeats) you would need to purchase 18 $20 booster packs to complete this set. That’s $360 for a chance at completing the set ($1040 to get all the variants). The initial run also had a purchase limit of 12 packs, so you were fucked from the start if you were an actual collector. If I am printing to demand, why can’t I demand the cards I want printed?

It’s very disheartening to see people hyping this up after the initial response to the set was anger at the format. Wizards is rubbing their grubby little paws together at the future of Magic.
