The release of Dominaria United is bringing a new Secret Lair drop with a tribute to Jaya Ballard, a collection of classic frame talismans, and the five original Elder Dragons.
August Superdrop 2022 includes seven different drops. Pre-orders are open from Aug. 22 to Sept. 19. The August Superdrop will release on Nov. 9.
Like other Secret Lairs, drops can be purchased individually or as bundles. The nonfoil bundle is called “Non-stop, Non-foil Bundle” and costs $179.94 and includes all nonfoil versions of each drop. This excludes the Showcase: Dominaria United Textured Foil Edition release because it only comes in foil.
The “Full-of-foils Bundle” costs $289.93 and includes the foil version of each drop.
Players can buy “The Bundle Bundle” for $469.87 to get the foil and nonfoil versions of each drop.
Every drop other than the textured foil one comes with a Magic Arena redemption code for themed card sleeves.
Here are all of the drops in the August Superdrop 2022.
Dan Frazier Is Back Again: The Allied Talismans
Dan Frazier reimagines the allied color talismans. These cards are a great option for Commander decks that tap for either a colorless mana or one of two colors. In a format like Commander where you start with 40 life, taking one damage to fix your colors is reasonable. Frazier brings an old-school look to this five-card drop that costs $29.99 nonfoil and $39.99 foil.
- One Retro Frame Talisman of Progress
- One Retro Frame Talisman of Dominance
- One Retro Frame Talisman of Indulgence
- One Retro Frame Talisman of Impulse
- One Retro Frame Talisman of Unity
Dan Frazier Is Back Again: The Enemy Talismans
Frazier gets two different drops, this time showcasing the enemy color talismans. These are useful to have now with the number of enemy color Commanders that were released in Strixhaven: School of Mages and Streets of New Capenna. This drop can be picked up for $29.99 nonfoil and $39.99 foil.
- One Retro Frame Talisman of Hierarchy
- One Retro Frame Talisman of Creativity
- One Retro Frame Talisman of Resilience
- One Retro Frame Talisman of Conviction

This drop is available for $29.99 nonfoil and $39.99 foil.

In Memoriam: Jaya Ballard
Jaya Ballard dies in the Phyrexian conflict in Dominaria United. The legendary pyromancer’s death will be honored in a five-card drop with iconic Red cards. Repercussion is getting its first reprint in this drop. Pyromancer’s Goggles is a powerful Artifact that is a staple in spellslinger strategies. Jaya’s Immolating Inferno and Jaya Ballard have consistently found similar homes in Red aggro builds. This drop is available for $29.99 nonfoil and $39.99 foil.
- One Jaya Ballard
- One Jaya’s Immolating Inferno
- One Pyretic Ritual
- One Repercussion
- One Pyromancer’s Goggles
Showcase: Dominaria United Textured Foil Edition
The five original Elder Dragons return with the showcase textured foil treatment from Streets of New Capenna. The textured foiling process is solid and makes cards stand out amongst others. These cards aren’t good, however. They’re expensive creatures with cumbersome upkeep costs. But they are great pieces of art for cards that inspired the Commander format. This drop is only available in foil for $49.99.
