Are you ready, Magic fans? Wizards of the Coast has just revealed its SpongeBob SquarePants Secret Lair drops, and honestly… it’s a wild ride. Some of it is genius. Some of it is baffling. And some of it is pure meme-fuel. Let’s dive into this Bikini Bottom madness.
Three SpongeBob-Themed Secret Lairs?!
That’s right—this isn’t just one Secret Lair, but a full-on SpongeBob invasion. Each drop brings something totally different to the table:
Legends of Bikini Bottom – Classic SpongeBob characters reimagined as MTG legends, with colorful, comic-style artwork. Ever wanted to summon a Patrick Starfish? Now you can.
Lands Under the Sea – Gorgeous SpongeBob-themed lands. If you ever dreamed of playing a game of Magic entirely underwater (minus the soggy cards), this is your moment.
Internet Sensation – This one is pure chaos. Instead of original artwork, these cards use actual screenshots from famous SpongeBob memes. Yes, really. Magic: The Gathering is officially embracing the internet’s obsession with SpongeBob reaction images.
The Good, The Bad, and The Meme-y
The Legends of Bikini Bottom and Lands Under the Sea drops? Certified bangers. The artwork is fun, the designs are creative, and they feel like a natural blend of SpongeBob and MTG.
But Internet Sensation? This one is gonna be divisive. Wizards of the Coast went full meme mode, slapping SpongeBob screenshots on Magic cards like a high schooler making proxies for a kitchen-table deck. Some players are loving the absurdity, while others are side-eyeing the decision to charge full price for what essentially looks like fan edits.
What This Means for Magic’s Future
This set is ridiculous, but it’s also a sign that MTG is fully leaning into the pop culture crossover era. If this sells well, could we see future Secret Lairs taking the same shortcut? Imagine an Avatar: The Last Airbender Secret Lair where Aang and Zuko are just copy-pasted from the show. Or worse—an AI-generated crossover. Shudders in mana flood.
At the end of the day, though, it’s SpongeBob SquarePants. It was always going to be silly, and that’s kind of the point. Whether you’re here for the nostalgia, the memes, or just some wacky cards to flex in your Commander deck, this Secret Lair is making waves.
Want in? These SpongeBob Secret Lairs drop on March 24, 2025, at 9 AM PT. Grab ‘em before they sink!
