A Complete Guide To The Extra Life 2026 MTG Secret Lair Bundle

Magic: The Gathering - Rise Of The Polygons Extra Life 2026 Secret Lair Guide Published Nov 5, 2026, 7:51 PM EST Niall (pronounced Ny-ul) is a UK-based writer who has been writing about Magic: The Gathering throughout his entire career, with everything from new set breakdowns and individual deck guides to offering his opinions on the state of formats and the general direction of the iconic TCG. Niall also has a rich history covering triple-A releases, sports games, and PC hardware. Not every Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair bundle is limited in availability; Wizards of the Coast often releases philanthropic bundles on a print-to-demand basis, and this year's Extra Life bundles are part of this venture. This year's Extra Life bundle, Rise of the Polygons, includes five cards with throwback artwork featuring old-school video game polygon art reminiscent of games like Final Fantasy VII. The idea behind the cards is that we're following a "young pyromancer" who looks a lot like Chandra, as they level up to take on the Balefire Dragon. MTG Arena is also releasing digital bundles alongside this physical drop, which we'll detail below, and they also support the Extra Life charity. Rise Of The Polygons Secret Lair Bundle Release Date, Price, & Cards The Rise of the Polygons Extra Life Secret Lair will be on sale from November 16, 2026, to November 30, 2026. You will also have the chance to grab the bundle live at MagicCon Atlanta, although it will only be available in limited quantities each day. You can also donate to Extra Life at MagicCon Atlanta to earn rewards, where a $40 donation gets you a mystery Collector Booster while a $20 donation gets you a Loot pin. This bundle contains five cards, although one is an Elemental token. The good news is that the bundle still has strong value elsewhere, but since 50% of the proceeds from each one go to the Children's Miracle Network, potential profits should be the last thing on your mind. Here are all the cards from the Rise of the Polygons bundle, as well as the current cheapest and most expensive versions of those cards (using TCGplayer market value). Balefire Dragon ($15-$45) Big Score ( Young Pyromancer ( Sword of Truth and Justice ($28 - $35) Elemental Token (N/A) The price of this bundle is $39.99 for the nonfoil and $49.99 for the foil variant, meaning it's a $10 increase across the board, but we assume this is to ensure the donation made per bundle is adequate while Wizards of the Coasts' costs are still covered, too. MTG Arena Cosmetics Each of the cards will be available in MTG Arena as card sleeves, while an additional set of three card sleeves is also available, displaying cutesy versions of Chandra, Ajani, and a character called Gizmo. Finally, there is an emote showing Gizmo doing a cute dance. All three sets of items must be purchased separately, with the Secret Lair card sleeves costing 3,000 gems, the Extra Life sleeves costing 1,800 gems, and the Gizmo sticker costing 800 gems. Dragon Shield Cosmetics A final drop from this collab is the Dragon Shield cosmetics, which include Ajani and Chandra card sleeves and a playmat featuring both Planeswalkers. Packs of the sleeves cost $20, while the playmat costs $25, and $10 from every purchase is being donated directly to Extra Life. These products are exclusive to MagicCon Atlanta.
