Rise of the Polygons anchors Magic’s 2026 Extra Life campaign

Wizards of the Coast has outlined its 2026 Magic partnership with Extra Life, led by Rise of the Polygons, a five-card Secret Lair drop with a playful, polygonal video-game look. The set includes Balefire Dragon, Big Score, Young Pyromancer, Sword of Truth and Justice, and an Elemental token.

The Secret Lair is scheduled to go on sale at MagicSecretLair.com from 16 November through 30 November at 1 a.m. Pacific Time. Wizards lists the non-foil version at US$39.99 and the foil version at US$49.99. It says 50% of the purchase price, after third-party transaction fees, will support Extra Life and children and families at Seattle Children’s Hospital through Children’s Miracle Network and Our Change Foundation.

Arena gets cosmetics, while MagicCon Atlanta hosts an early sale

MTG Arena is also part of the campaign. From 16–30 November, the in-game store will offer two cosmetic sleeve bundles and a sticker emote. Wizards says all proceeds, less transaction fees, will go to Extra Life in support of Seattle Children’s Hospital. Prices are 3,000 gems for the Secret Lair sleeve bundle, 1,800 gems for the other sleeve bundle and 800 gems for the emote.

Players attending MagicCon Atlanta can find limited quantities of the Secret Lair at the convention merchandise booth from 13–15 November, ahead of its online window. The booth will also sell Extra Life Dragon Shield sleeves for US$20 and a playmat for US$25, with US$10 from each item sold donated to Extra Life. Wizards says these items are exclusive to MagicCon Atlanta.

Convention donations come with limited promotional items

At the Extra Life booth, a US$20 donation earns a Loot pin, while a US$40 donation earns a random Collector Booster, subject to availability. Wizards says tickets to MagicCon Atlanta are sold out, so these in-person offers are relevant to existing attendees rather than a route to enter the event.

Wizards’ employee takeover streams on twitch.tv/magic continue through 5 November, running from 9 a.m. to noon Pacific Time. For collectors, the useful distinction is that Rise of the Polygons has both an online Secret Lair sale and a limited early convention allocation; the Dragon Shield merchandise and booth donation rewards are tied to the Atlanta event.
