Wizards of the Coast has announced Rise of the Polygons | Extra Life 2026, a new Secret Lair collection that reprints four popular Magic: The Gathering cards with artwork inspired by the blocky, low-polygon look of the Nintendo 64 and original PlayStation era. The drop goes on sale November 16 and runs through November 30 at 1 a.m. PT.
The headline reprint is Sword of Truth and Justice, a powerful Equipment card first released in Modern Horizons in 2019. Its original non-foil version is currently worth around $29, making it the standout card in a collection that costs $39.99 non-foil or $49.99 traditional foil.
Sword of Truth and Justice gives an equipped creature +2/+2 and protection from white and blue. More importantly, whenever it deals combat damage to an opponent, its controller adds a +1/+1 counter to a creature they control and then proliferates, adding another counter of each existing kind to eligible permanents or players.
That makes the card especially strong in Commander decks built around +1/+1 counters, proliferate, or planeswalkers. Since it costs only two mana to attach, it can start generating value quickly.
The collection also includes Balefire Dragon, a beloved Commander card originally printed in 2011’s Innistrad. Whenever it deals combat damage to a player, it deals that much damage to every creature that player controls—making even a single successful attack potentially devastating.
The remaining cards, Young Pyromancer and Big Score, are both useful additions for Commander players. Young Pyromancer creates Elemental tokens whenever its controller casts an instant or sorcery, while Big Score turns discarded cards into card draws and Treasure tokens.
Half of the online purchase price, minus third-party transaction fees, will go to Extra Life and Seattle Children’s Hospital. At MagicCon: Atlanta from November 13–15, Wizards says all proceeds from Extra Life merchandise and the collection will support the cause.
Collectors attending MagicCon can also buy the drop early, though quantities will be limited. For Commander players, collectors, and anyone nostalgic for late-’90s video game graphics, Rise of the Polygons offers a rare mix of strong reprints, appealing art, and a charitable purpose.
