Summary

• Hatsune Miku: Digital Sensation drops on June 24 with some Commander staples like Sol Ring and Thespian's Stage.
• Despite low value reprints, previous Miku cards have spiked in price, making this drop worth picking up.
• Artists have mixed success with Miku-themed art in this drop, with some beautiful pieces but few Japanese illustrators featured.

If you thought you’d have to wait a while for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering’s next Hatsune Miku Secret Lair crossover🅘, you were wrജong: it’ll be available by the end of the month.

Following last month’s Hatsune 👍Miku: Sakura Superstar, this month’s Hatsune Miku: Digital Sensation will launch on June 24, bri💛nging with it six more Miku-ified reprints.

The six c༒ards receiving the Miku treatment this time are:

• Diabolic Tutor
• Chord of Calling
• Child of Alara (Miku, Child of Song)
• Song of Creation
• Sol Ring
• Thespian’s Stage

Like the first drop, none of these cards are particularly valuable in their non-Miku🔴 forms. Chord of Calling is the biggest pull here, being a decent creature tutor for green decks, but even that isn’t worth above five dollars.

Great For Commander Decks

Instead, there’s a lot of cards here that are staples for the Commander format. Sol Ring is the most-played card in the entire format thanks to its quick and easy mana generation, while Thespian’s Stage and Diabolic Tutor both see regular play in the right dec🅘ks.

The last two cards, Child of Alara and Song of Creation, are less frequently played. Miku, Child of Song gives you a way to make a WUBRG Hatsune Miku deck you can put all of these other cards in, though, which is a nice touch even if it isn’t the most-played 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:WUBRG commander in the game.

Song of Creation i𓃲s the one odd choice in the drop – the art is great, but the card itself sees practically no play thanks to its glass-cannon ability that can leave you severely behind if it happens to get blown up during a game.

Despite the low reprint value,🔯 this will likely still be a drop worth picking up. Cards from the first drop can be found on the secondary market꧃ for hundreds of times their regular value, such as Shelter costing just six cents normally, but sitting around $23 for its Hatsune Miku one.

One of the big criticisms of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sakura Superstar was its art, which featured artists who don’t commonly do anime or manga-inspired art to varying degrees of success. This drop does it a bit better with some truly gorgeous art like Miku, Child of Song by Aya Kato and Thespian’s Stage by Billy Christian, but there’s sti♒ll a bit of weirdness going on here.

It isn’t that these artists are bad – Kekai Kotaki is one of my all-time favourites – but there is sometimes a mismatch between the artist’s usual style and Hatsune Miku’s very specific look. It would’ve been nice to see more of the many Japanese artists who&🗹rsquo;ve contributed to Magic in recent years illustrate more of these cards.

Hatsune Miku: Digital♌ Sensation will be part of the Secret Lair Summer Superdrop, which starts on June 24. Iꦯt’ll be available in both non-foil ($29.99) and foil editions ($39.99). Like all Secret Lairs, it will only be available for a limited time, and only while stocks last. Considering how much cards from the first drop have spiked, you might want to get on these ones quickly.
