Secret Lair Global Fund for Women: every card in the drop, ranked

Seven cards. One theme running underneath all of it: the women of Magic's storied history, reimagined by an all-women slate of artists. Secret Lair x Global Fund for Women: Their Magic Is Limitless drops July 20, with 50% of the product price going to the Global Fund for Women.

Quick rundown on where that money lands, because "charity Secret Lair" gets thrown around a lot and not every one of them tells you much about the charity itself. Global Fund for Women has been running since 1987 out of San Francisco, and its whole job is getting money into the hands of grassroots, women-led groups around the world. Over $100 million has been granted to more than 4,000 organizations in 170-plus countries since it started. That's not just a logo slapped on a card for the month. It's an organization that's been quietly funding the unglamorous work (legal aid, health access, economic programs) for almost 40 years. Buying a Sol Ring and helping fund that at the same time, in my humble opinion, is a pretty good deal.

Good cause locked in, does the cardboard actually deliver? Card by card, here's what you're getting.

Sol Ring

Some things don't need a pitch. Sol Ring taps for 2 colorless off a single mana investment, and it's been the single best card you can put in a Commander deck since basically the dawn of time. At this point, reprinting Sol Ring is basically a Magic tradition, like Wizards is legally required to slip one into every product or the multiverse collapses.

Olena Richards paints Saheeli and Breya mid-invention here, with aether swirling between them, which is a better visual justification for "why does this thing make two mana" than Magic has bothered to give us before.

Dark Ritual

One black mana in, three black mana out. Dark Ritual has powered degenerate turn-one plays since Alpha, and it still does exactly that job today.

Fury Galluzzi's art gives us the queen of darkness herself, Liliana, and 2 of her groupies, with pink death energy pouring off them, which fits a card whose whole purpose is to turn one resource into more resources than you should have that early.

Cultivate

A green ramp workhorse. Search for up to two basics, one hits the battlefield tapped, one goes to hand, and you've fixed your colors while you're at it.

Ivy Dolamore draws it as a grandmother tending a garden of literal food-creature friends, which turns a spell you'll cast a thousand times into something you'll actually want to look at a thousand times. Sickeningly cute.

Path of Ancestry

A tapped land that follows your commander's color identity, and scries when that mana casts a creature sharing your commander's type. It's a small edge, but tribal Commander decks have run this since its first printing, and it'll keep doing that job in every tribal shell going forward.

Livia Prima paints Rowan mid-coronation, past colossal statues of past rulers watching, which lines up with a card that's fundamentally about honoring where your deck's power comes from.

Coat of Arms

Every creature gets +1/+1 for every other creature on the battlefield sharing a creature type with it. In a go-wide tribal deck, this ends games on the spot.

Caroline Gariba's art puts a small army of matching soldiers behind the shield-bearer up front, which is the card's whole function drawn as a single image: strength multiplying because everyone shares a banner.

Finale of Devastation

This is the big hit of the drop. An X-spell that tutors a creature straight onto the battlefield from your library or graveyard, and if X hits 10 or higher, your whole board gets +X/+X and haste. That second mode is brutal in both Standard and Commander.

Julie Dillon's art shows Vivien Reid shielding Selvala as her army of green beast energy tears through the frame, which captures the spell's real threat: it's not just card selection, it's a finisher.

Lathril, Blade of the Elves

The build-around of the set. Menace on a 2/3 is fine on its own, but the real bite kicks in once Lathril starts connecting: every point of combat damage becomes a 1/1 Elf Warrior token. Tap ten untapped Elves and you drain the table for 10 apiece.

Elf tribal decks have wanted a payoff exactly like this since Lathril first printed, and Magali Villeneuve's art gives her the exact energy the card plays with: a fighter who brought backup.

Where the value actually sits

Sol Ring and Dark Ritual are the cheapest to replace elsewhere, since both have been reprinted constantly. Nobody's buying this drop for those two alone. Lathril is the real reason an Elf tribal player picks this up, and Coat of Arms is the reason anyone building tribal takes a second look. Cultivate and Path of Ancestry round out the deck-building utility. Finale of Devastation is the wildcard: strong in the right shell, dead weight outside one. But it is also super expensive. It has 2 prints and both sit at above $50 on TCGPlayer.

If you already run all seven cards across your decks, buy this for the art and the cause. If you're missing two or three, especially Lathril, this is a clean way to grab them in one drop while the money goes somewhere that matters. If you want to collect and hold for value, Finale of Devastation is your play here.
