168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering has unveiled the next lineup of its seasonal Secret Lair d🌃rops, and i𝐆t includes The Lord of the Rings, some grubby little goblins, and skeletons going incredibly, bodaciously hard.
Like most Secret Lairs, these will only be available for a limited time and are printed to demandꦬ. This means you have August 28, 2023 to put your preorders in , but you won’t have to worry about them running out of stock.
Fortunately, Wizards is sweetening the deal this time, by offering those who spend over $200/£200 two free Collector booster packs of last year’s The Brothers’ War. This gives you the chance to pull things like serialised Retro Frame Artifacts, or the Shattered Glass ꦜalt-arts of the tie-in Transformers ca𝔉rds.

Slip On The Ring |
Gandalf, Friend of the Shire |
Mirror of Galadriel |
Shire Terrace |
To tie in with the recently released Lord of th🍸e Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, we have four reprints from the set with art taken straight from the 1978 Ralph Bakshi film.
While this is 🔯a great drop for those just wanting more Lord of the Rings, card-wise it’s one of the most underwhelming drops Secret Lair has done in a long time. With two commons, an uncommon, and a rare that already has multiple art treatments available, the overall value is very low.
Buy this one for Lord of the Rings, but don’t buy it to play with the ﷽c🎐ards. You’ll likely pull everything here in a few regular boosters of Tales of Middle-earth.
costs🅘 $29.99/🦋£29.99 for a non-foil version, or $39.99/£39.99 for traditional foil.
Death Is Temporary, Metal Is Forever

Syr Konrad, the Grim |
Underworld Dreams |
Waste Not |
Wheel of Misfortune |
Nekusar, the Mindrazer |
Mark Riddick is back again, having been a contributor to Magic multiple times in sets like Kaldheim and Phyrexia: All Will Be One. With his gritty,🐻 metal-in𓂃spired style, we have five death-themed cards on offer.
The big winners here are Syr Konrad the Grym, an excellent Sacrifice and graveyard recursion commander, and Nekusar the Mindrazer, a Zombie who punishes your opponents for drawing cards. The other cards are great too, with Underworld Dreams, Waste Not, and Wheel of Misfortune all fitting nicely into a ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚNekusar Commander deck if you want.
While the cards are good, t𝐆hey’re not hugely valuable, either. You’re buying this for the art and an exclusive, 🅰Metal-style version of a popular commander rather than the sheer value.
costs $29.99/£29.99 for a non-foil version, o🍸r $39.99/£39.99 for traditioౠnal foil.
Goblin & Squabblin’
Goblin & Squabblin' |
||||
Goblin Lackey |
Goblin Matron |
Goblin Recruiter |
Muxus, Goblin Grandee |
Shattergang Brothers |
Goblins are one of Magic’s mo🥃st popular creature types, and this drop gives you a few tools to push them even further.
Of course, the art by Wizard of Barge is the big draw, with this colourful, slightly grungy style going perfectly with Magic’s favourite lil’ guys. You even get Muxus, Goblin Grandee, one of the go-to Goblinಞ commanders.
Again, though, this is a tough value proposition. These cards are great for Goblin decks, but they’re not the all-timers like Krenko, T♕in Street Kingpin or Empty the Warrens. Goblins are a gener✤ally cheap creature type in general, which makes doing a whole drop for them a tricky task.
costs $29.99/£29.99 for a non-foil ver𒀰sion, or $39.99/£39.99 for traditional foil.
Bad To The Bones
Bad To The Bones |
||||
Bottomless Pit |
Necrogen Mists |
Reassembling Skeleton |
Tinybones, Trinket Thief |
Geier Reach Sanitarium |
Probably one of the funniest Secret Lair drops we’ve had in a good long wh🦩ile, Bad to the Bone takes lots of the grimmest cards and gives them a radical Mr. Bones’ Wild Ride of a makeover thanks to art by Ryan Quickfall.
Nothing is better than a skeleton riding a motorbike. Or riding a motorbike holding their head. Or riding a motorbike and falling into a bot💜tomless pit. There&r🐼squo;s some great cards here, too, with things like Necrogen Mists and Reassembling Skeleton seeing plenty of play.
Plenty of the cards in here are seeing reprints for the very first time, with Necrogen Mists; Tinybones, Trinket Thief; and Bottomless Pit all making their first reappearances sꦇince their first printings. Value-wise this is one of the best propositions in th𒊎e whole Superdrop, and a screaming skeleton doing a sick jump on a bike only helps make it better.
costs $29.99🐽/£29.99 for a non-foil version, or $39.99/£39.99 for traditional foil.

Nemesis Of Reason |
Gaea's Blessing |
Twilight Prophet |
Worldspine Wurm |
Wurm Token |
Ryan Alexander Lee is known for some of the most-played🍷 cards in Magic, like Commander&rsqꦜuo;s Sphere, Snapcaster Mage, Zurgo Helmsmasher, and Stolen By The Fae.
The cards on offer in this drop are interesting way to tell a story, with Lee 🌟allegedly inspired by the “liner notes in an old heavy metal album”, and follow a hero as they saꦓcrifice everything to hopefully defeat the monster that seeks to consume the world.
The art is incredible, with Gaea’s Blessing and Twilight Prophet in particular l🤪ooking utterly stunning. Value-wise this drop isn’t too bad either, with both Twilight Prophet and Worldspine Wurm being in demand. Thanks to the addition of a terrifying Wurm token as well, this is definitely one of the better drops in th💮is lineup.
costs $29.99/£29.99 for a non-foil version, or $39.99/£39.99 for tr👍aditional foil.
The Stars Gaze Back
The Stars Gaze Back |
|||
Flamekin Harbinger |
Omnath, Locus Of Rage |
Risen Reef |
Voice Of Resurgence |
This highly abstract drop is one of the most visually interesting of the bunch, wit🌜h a miꦐx of vivid colours and geometric shapes representing some truly great Elemental greatures.
Omnath, Locus of Rage t🅰akes the cake here, of course, making Elemental tokens and dealing damage whenever an Elemental dies. Joining it are the Elemental deck staple Risen Reef, the tutor Flamekin Harbinger, and the counterspell-dissuadꦺing tool Voice of Resurgence, all of which see play.
Sadly, for all its vivid art, this is another tough sell value-wise, with all four cards collectively worth about a quarter of the asking price. As is the case with lots of th🙈is drop, you’re buying the art more than the game pieces.
costs $29.99/£29.99 for a non-foil version, or $3💟9.99/£39.99 🍌for traditional foil.
Featuring: The Mountain Goats
Let's ignore the irony of a band whose most famous song features the line “I am drowning, there is no sign of land”. This set of ten Mountains was pretty much entirely directed by John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats.
He planned the art, picked artists, and wrote the flavour text, setting the whole ten-part story on the fan favourite plane of Lorw♏yn.
Notably, this is also the first time ever basic lands have been available as extended art. While ten lands isn’t enough to kit out a🐻 deck with nothing but these lands, the narrative nature of them makes including all in one deck very intriguing indeed.
costs 💞$29.99/£29.99 for a non-foil version, or $39.99/£39.99 for tradit🍬ional foil.
