168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering’s first Se𓆏cret Lair superdrop of 2024 has arr༺ived, bringing with it some impressive art styles, a handful of interesting reprints, and one heck of a big misprint.

is Magic’s exclusive, limited-time deal that seems cards with unique art be made available for a matter 🧔of weeks. These six drops are all on sale right now, and will be available either until stock runs out of March 5, ꦿdepending on which comes first.

This is the first superdrop since Wizards changed how✤ it does Secret Lairs. Instead of being print-to-demand, they are now preprinted and🌊 available while stocks last, meaning you have to get in there quickly if you don’t want to get scalped out of picking up these cards.

Deceptive Divination

Playing off Victorian posters for psychics, mediums, and spiritualists, incluജdes five fully-monochrome and highly abstract pieces of art by Alexander Khab🔯bazi.

Some may find them tricky to read across the table, especially with the complete lack of colour, but it’s hard to deny that Price of Progress doesn’t look cool. It’s also nice ꦐto have ꩵnew art of Scheming Symmetry for those hoping to de-Seb McKinnon their Commander decks.

Value-wise there isn’t much going on here, with Price of Progress and Scheming Symmetry being the most valuable at just under $5 each. This is one you’d b𒊎uy for the art more than its reprint worth.

This drop has the dubious honour of including a fairly major misprint. Ci🐽rcular Logic isn’t a sorcery, it’s an instant. Consꦫidering Secret Lair drops are now printed in advance, the version you receive will have this mistake on it as well. However, Wizards has also knocked five dollars of the usual price, making it a slightly more interesting deal.

Hard-Boiled Thrillers

Murders at Karlov Manor is a pulpy set full of noir tropes, plucky detectives, an𒅌d dramatic scenes, which makes the pulp-cover-inspired drop tie in perfectly with it.

It’s also got some really exciting cards. This is the first-ever reprint of both Reconnaissance, having not been seen since 1998’s Exodus, and Shadowm🃏oor’s Dire Undercurrents. Black Market and Jace, Wielder of My💟steries also both see lots of play in Commander, and Obeka is one of the most interesting commanders ever printed.

The value of this drop is almost thꩲere, primarily thanks to Reconnaissance and Dire Undercurrents. But again, this is anot🐻her one you’d pick up for the absolutely stunning art by Josh Newton and Scott Okumura.

Just Add Milk: Second Helpings

Just Add Milk is one of the most memorable Secret Lair drops having reimagined popular commanders like Etali as cereal box masc🐼ots. It’s now back for a second bowl, with even more Commander all-stars getting their own sugary breakfasts in .

Adrix and Nev was only just recently reprinted in the Mu🔥rders at Karlov Manor Commander decks, but still sits neatly at over $10 thanks to being an excellent Sim🌳ic commander. Krark and Yargle are both classics, but the real winner here is Sakashima of A Thousand Faces, which hasn’t been reprinted in over three years and is sitting at around $30 at the time of writing.

The art style is going to be divisive for some, especially as the key information about them is on the back of the card instead. But if you’re wanting a bit of light-heartไed fun, or just want that Sakashima, there are definitely worse ways 🍌of getting it than this.

Prismatic Nightmares

The best thing about Secret Lair is when it lets artists just go weird with their designs, such🔜 as by Graham Yarrington. This drop takes some of the game’s grimmest cards (and Arcane Denial) and♔ gives them flat, vibrant, dream-like colours.

Unfortunately, a running theme for this superdrop is the lack of reprint value. It’s a first-time reprint Rain of Filth and Prin🐈ce of Thralls, but the latter is the most valuable in the whole drop at just under seven dollars.

Still, Simian Spirit Guide and Arcane Denial are ♐both staples in Pauper, so if you were hoping to bling out your Pauper deck it could be a drop worth looking into.

Showcase: Murders At Karlov Manor

It wouldn’t be a superdrop without a tie-in with the latest set, meaning we’re getting four of the Commander format’s most popular faces in ' divisive dossier art treatment. Personally, I really like them, and the art for these really contrasts nicely with the desaturated look of the surrounding border.

The frame being so controversial is one thing, but the card value on offer here makes it an even harder sell. The only one worth noting is Vilis, Broker of Blood, which still sits at under $10. You could take a punt on the bonus card 💖being something great, but it’s really hard to justifᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚy a drop like this when every card can be picked up for under $10 total.

If you really like the dossier frame or are banking on a surprise banger for the bonus card, this worthwhile. In any other circumst൲ance, I’d think very, very carefulඣly first.

The Beauty Of The Beasts

The final drop of the 2024 Winter Superdrop i🔜s The Beauty of the Beasts❀, which has Rowynn Ellis reimagine some of the beasties from around the Magic multiverse. Weirdly, only one of them is an actual beat, but all of the cards are still exciting.

Reprint value there isn’t much to shout about here, with Serpent of Yawning Depths getting its first reprint being the most interesting. But playability, there’s a lot on 𓆏offer here. Serpent goes great in Kraken decks, Peregrine Drake is part of the famous Deadeye Navigator combo for infinite ma𓄧na, and Felidar Guardian is a go-to in any blink deck. Voracious Hydra and Scourge of Valkas are slightly harder sells, but still get used in more niche decks.

Peregrine Drake is banned in Pauper.

It’s drops like this that really highlight what Secret Lair should be: cool art with playable cards. They don’t all need to be $30 reprints, just card🌳s people would actually want to use. At least three of these already have a home in my Commander decks, making it a no-brainer for me to pick up.

Bundles

Interestingly, this drop has a larger spread of bundles than normal, grouping them together around the Hard-Boiled Thrillers or The Beauty Of The Beasts drops, depending on 🦂which you want more.
