'''Universes Within''' is the collective name for rebranded ''[[Magic]]'' [[multiverse]] versions of [[Universes Beyond]] cards. The term was first coined by [[Scryfall]], and then adopted by [[Wizards of the Coast]] internally.<ref name="ONE"/> It is not an official product name.<ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/743708580361945088|title=is "universes within" an official term, or just slang/grokkable?|February 29, 2024}}</ref> ==Description== Wizards of the Coast creates and prints in-multiverse versions of mechanically unique [[non-canon]] [[Secret Lair]] cards, approximately six months after their original release of the Secret Lair.<ref name="June 2021">{{DailyRef|news/secret-lair-universes-beyond-update-2021-06-07|''Secret Lair Universes Beyond'' Update|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|June 7, 2021|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20230129071245/https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/secret-lair-universes-beyond-update-2021-06-07|archivedate=January 29, 2023}}</ref> These become available as part of [[The List]], and are findable in [[Set Booster]]s for as long as players are still interested in opening them. The [[non-canon card]]s and the [[canon]] cards will be considered as equivalent game pieces, meaning you can only play up to four copies total of the ''Magic'' version and ''Universes Beyond'' version combined in your deck. The [[Information below the text box]] has the special SLX set code and the SLD card number that it equals to.<ref>{{TwitterRef|mtgaaron|1402007650007601153|author=[[Aaron Forsythe]]|title=There will be a different treatment that indicates that the cards are related.|date=June 7, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{YouTubeRef|WRPjFkOjmIA|Streets of New Capenna Prebeat|channel=[[Weekly MTG]]|date=March 4, 2022}}</ref> All rebranded cards have the same rarity as the original. If a Universes Beyond card with a IP-specific [[creature type]] (e.g. [[astartes]]) would be rebranded, it would receive a brand new creature type in the ''Magic'' version. The <IP name> and <unique new creature type> would be one for one in the rules much like the names of the Godzilla [[skinned card]]s.<ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/695228557150060544|title=If you were to print a magic version of one of the Warhammer 40k cards, it'll have to keep its typeline right?|September 12, 2022}}</ref> At their introduction, one in eight Set Boosters contained one of these cards, while another one in eight set boosters will contain a different card from the List.<ref>{{YouTubeRef|D7hxleH-PkA|WeeklyMTG: Secret Lair October Superdrop Reveal|channel=[[Magic: The Gathering]]|date=October 16, 2021}}</ref> According to [[Mark Heggen]], R&D wants the in-world equivalents those to be around and people able to get their hands on them.<ref name="Mark Heggen">{{WebRef|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/magic-the-gathering-street-fighter-secret-lair-february-superdrop-spoilers|title=Exclusive: Street Fighter MTG Crossover Cards and February Secret Lairs Revealed|author=Tom Marks|date=February 17, 2022|publisher=IGN.com|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20230824051702/https://www.ign.com/articles/magic-the-gathering-street-fighter-secret-lair-february-superdrop-spoilers|archivedate=August 24, 2023}}</ref> They are not meant to be the ‘chase objects’, 10 years from now, they want the "other-IP" ones "to be the cool ones that have a little bit more cachet and are a bit more interesting to see" The in-world equivalents are the ones that are there for people who are just looking for the gameplay.<ref name="Mark Heggen"/> Wizards of the Coast has only committed to do ''Universes Within'' versions of Secret Lairs. Larger [[UB]] sets like ''[[Warhammer 40K]]'', ''[[Lord of the Rings]]'' and ''[[Doctor Who]]'' won't receive 1:1 ''Universe Within'' versions, but R&D reserves the right to make them for individual cards if the need arises.<ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/677269888435453952/is-it-too-much-to-ask-for-in-universe-versions-of|title=Is it too much to ask for in-universe versions of the LOTR set?|February 26, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/695519008733184000|title=will the new cards in the wh40k commander set be printed into a regular set?|September 15, 2022}}</ref> According to [[Mark Rosewater]], the biggest problem, from a business standpoint, with making a ''Universes Within'' card for every ''Universes Beyond'' card is there isn’t a large enough audience to offset the huge cost of such an undertaking.<ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/719844843261689857|title=If Wizards really wanted to, and could convince the necessary people, then could a Universes Within version of every Universes Beyond card be made?|June 11, 2023}}</ref> ===Card list=== {| class="wikitable sortable" !
