The selection includes iconic cards like Lightning Bolt, a staple across various formats; Murktide Regent, a powerhouse in Modern and Legacy; Light-Paws, a popular Commander; and Shorikai, a prominent card in Vintage Cubes and a top 20 Commander according to EDHRec.
Wizards of the Coast highlights Arita's extensive experience in trading card game art, noting his work's global recognition. The company emphasizes the fan-favorite status of his previous Magic collaboration and celebrates this Secret Lair as a showcase of his exceptional creature design across four remarkable cards.
