Secret Lair x Horizon: Into the Forbidden West transforms Guerrilla Games' lush, machine-ruled world into one of Magic: The Gathering's most visually striking and thematically resonant drops from the entire Secret Lair Playstation collab.

Where God of War embodied wrath and redemption, Horizon is about curiosity, survival, and discovery like a love letter to nature and technology locked in eternal dialogue.

This is a drop that hums with life, every card a blend of steel and soil. It's where machines walk like gods, and humanity fights to reclaim its place among them.

The Huntress of the Realms

At the center of it all stands Aloy, Savior of Meridian, a new Simic legendary creature who perfectly embodies the duality of Horizon: Zero Dawn: primal instinct fused with cutting-edge ingenuity.

Aloy's mechanics revolve around exploration and innovation. She lets you draw, ramp, and recover artifacts or creatures that have fallen mirroring her role as both scavenger and savior. Every activation feels like finding another relic of the Old Ones, another fragment of history reborn through purpose.

She's the kind of commander who turns resource management into storytelling. Each land played, each artifact restored is another arrow loosed toward destiny. And true to her character, Aloy rewards patience as much as boldness as you'll win not through brute force, but through adaptation.

Key Cards:

• Tireless Tracker and The Great Henge for pure value and sustainability.
• Tamiyo's Journal and Academy Manufactor to create clues and treasures that reflect her scavenging loop.
• Emry, Lurker of the Loch and Scrap Trawler to recur relics from the graveyard.
• Simic Ascendancy or Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy for explosive scaling and thematic synergy.
• Peter Parker's Camera gives us great artifact synergy from another Universes Beyond set in the recent Marvel's Spider-Man

Nature Meets Machine

Playing Aloy feels like stepping into the wilds again. You start small by exploring, scavenging, uncovering. But as your engine grows, your battlefield transforms into a living ecosystem of synergy: creatures feeding artifacts, artifacts empowering spells, and spells rippling back through the natural order.

With Green and Blue as her colors, Aloy commands the perfect toolkit for this harmony. Ramp spells represent the world's renewal. Artifact recursion echoes the technological past. Card draw channels discovery itself.

Your battlefield will come alive with metal beasts and organic warriors standing shoulder to shoulder, united under one banner: survival through evolution.

The Complete Drop

Blightsteel Colossus ("FAS-BOR7 Horus")

The stars of Horizon are its towering machines, and none embody their scale better than this reimagined Blightsteel Colossus. Its artwork is a gleaming Horus-class titan eclipsing the sun. In Commander, it's a classic win condition, an unstoppable mechanical deity that crushes civilizations under its metallic wings. Flavorfully, it's the perfect symbol of Aloy's greatest challenge: facing the old world's might reborn as monstrosity.

Tarrian's Soulcleaver ("Regalla's Wrath")

Originally a powerful artifact blade, this reprint channels one of the game's fiercest antagonists. "Regalla's Wrath" brings death with defiance, rewarding you whenever creatures die like a reflection of reclaiming life from ruin. Mechanically, it fits beautifully into any artifact-centric deck, giving Aloy a weapon that grows sharper with every fallen foe.

Meteor Golem ("Thunderjaw")

Few sights in Horizon: Zero Dawn are as unforgettable as the first Thunderjaw encounter. And now, Magic players can feel that terror firsthand. As "Thunderjaw," Meteor Golem becomes a towering centerpiece of removal and intimidation. Its ETB trigger is the essence of machine dominance: cold, precise, and devastating.

Farseek

It wouldn't be Horizon without exploration. Farseek stands here as the act of charting the wilds and bridging the ancient and the natural. A humble ramp spell becomes something mythic in this drop as the land fetched feels like a rediscovered ruin.

Machines and Memory

What makes this drop extraordinary is its reverence for both the mechanical and the organic.

Aloy's world isn't one of clear divides; it's a mosaic of contradictions that somehow coexist. This drop mirrors that tension beautifully.

Green mana represents growth, rebirth, and instinct. Blue mana embodies intellect, innovation, and adaptation. Together, they form Horizon's philosophical core: progress not as dominance, but as dialogue.

Even the art style reflects this unity. Lush wildernesses framed by sleek alloys. Human warmth set against the cold perfection of steel.

Playing this drop feels like reliving Aloy's journey.

You ramp and draw (Farseek, Aloy), unearth relics (Regalla's Wrath), and face titans (Thunderjaw). The rhythm of play mimics Horizon's exploration loop: prepare, venture, survive, evolve.

Final Thoughts: Evolution is Magic

Among all the PlayStation collaborations, Secret Lair x Horizon: Into the Forbidden West might be the most visually poetic. It's not about gods or vengeance... it's about rediscovery. About what happens when curiosity outlasts extinction.

Aloy, Savior of Meridian, as a commander, rewards patience, intelligence, and the courage to face the unknown.
