The Seven Cards in the KPop Demon Hunters Secret Lair
| Card | Cost | Type | Legal in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dawn's Truce | {1}{W} | Instant | Standard, Pioneer, Modern, Legacy, Vintage, Commander |
| Unbreakable Formation | {2}{W} | Instant | Pioneer, Modern, Legacy, Vintage, Commander |
| Freed from the Real | {2}{U} | Enchantment, Aura | Modern, Legacy, Vintage, Commander, Pauper |
| Swan Song | {U} | Instant | Pioneer, Modern, Legacy, Vintage, Commander |
| Demonic Counsel | {1}{B} | Sorcery | Standard, Pioneer, Modern, Legacy, Vintage, Commander |
| Tempt with Immortality | {4}{B} | Sorcery | Legacy, Vintage, Commander |
| Underworld Breach | {1}{R} | Enchantment | Vintage, Commander (banned in Pioneer, Modern and Legacy) |
Legality is as listed on Scryfall on October 1, 2026. The oracle text for each card, as Scryfall prints it:
- Dawn's Truce: "Gift a card (You may promise an opponent a gift as you cast this spell. If you do, they draw a card before its other effects.) You and permanents you control gain hexproof until end of turn. If the gift was promised, permanents you control also gain indestructible until end of turn."
- Unbreakable Formation: "Creatures you control gain indestructible until end of turn. Addendum - If you cast this spell during your main phase, put a +1/+1 counter on each of those creatures and they gain vigilance until end of turn."
- Freed from the Real: "Enchant creature. {U}: Tap enchanted creature. {U}: Untap enchanted creature."
- Swan Song: "Counter target enchantment, instant, or sorcery spell. Its controller creates a 2/2 blue Bird creature token with flying."
- Demonic Counsel: "Search your library for a Demon card, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle. Delirium - If there are four or more card types among cards in your graveyard, instead search your library for any card, put it into your hand, then shuffle."
- Tempt with Immortality: "Tempting offer - Return a creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. Each opponent may return a creature card from their graveyard to the battlefield. For each opponent who does, return a creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield."
- Underworld Breach: "Each nonland card in your graveyard has escape. The escape cost is equal to the card's mana cost plus exile three other cards from your graveyard. (You may cast cards from your graveyard for their escape cost.) At the beginning of the end step, sacrifice this enchantment."
Two of these have a catch in the text. Underworld Breach grants escape to every nonland card in your graveyard, but you sacrifice it at the beginning of the end step. Tempt with Immortality returns one creature for you first, then gives each opponent the choice to return one, and you return another for each opponent who does.
Why It Matters: Drop Price Against Buying the Singles
| Card | Cheapest non-promo printing | Scryfall USD |
|---|---|---|
| Dawn's Truce | Bloomburrow #9 | $8.96 |
| Unbreakable Formation | Commander Legends #388 | $0.74 |
| Freed from the Real | The List #SOK-38 | $6.75 |
| Swan Song | Edge of Eternities Commander #46 | $9.81 |
| Demonic Counsel | Duskmourn: House of Horror #310 | $2.20 |
| Tempt with Immortality | Commander 2013 #95 | $1.55 |
| Underworld Breach | Mystery Booster 2 #200 | $8.11 |
The seven prices total $38.12. The $29.99 non-foil drop costs $8.13 less than that total, and the $39.99 foil drop costs $1.87 more.
Treat this as arithmetic on one day's snapshot, not a verdict. Scryfall's prices move, and the comparison uses the cheapest non-foil printing of each card outside Secret Lair, promo and masterpiece sets, which is not always the printing a player would pick. The Secret Lair printing is a different product with different art. The announcement states no print run, order limit or restock plan for How It's Done.
The seven singles total $38.12 on Scryfall's October 1, 2026 prices, so the non-foil drop is $8.13 below that and the foil drop $1.87 above.
