Summary

  • Limited time-only Secret Lair drops feature unique Brain Dead art inspired by alternative subcultures.

  • Creatures drop has highly sought-after reprints with Chaotic Goo making its return as a coin flip enabler.

Wizards of the Coast has revealed three of its upcoming 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair drops, and they’re some of the most visually out-there cards we’ve ever see𒁏n.

All three drops are part of a collaboration with Los Angeles art collective , which takes inspiration from alternative, punk, skater, and underground subcultures. The result is a set that’s both artistically fascinating, and also include𒁃s some highly desirable reprints.

Secꦐret Lair is Magic&rsqꦓuo;s limited-time brand. These cards will only be available while they’re in stock, and won’t be reprinted again.

Secret Lair x Brain Dead Lands

The first drop is Secret Lair x Brain Dead Lands. Unlike other basic land drops that include just five cards, this one has two five-card cycl🌳es included.

Secret Lair x Brain Dead Lands

Plains (x2)

Island (x2)

Swamp (x2)

Mountain (x2)

Forest (x2)

The first by Gage Lindsten uses the Brain Dead logo juxtaposed with fantasy art that has a very retro Magic kind of feel to it💞, while the other by Hank Reavis plays with rundown scenes of junk-laden rural America instead. Both are very emblematic both of Brain Dead’s general style, and also what else these drops has to offer.

Secret Lair x Brain Dead Staples

Continuing this utterly bizarre series of drops is the coll♐ection of five Commander staples. It’s nice to see a Secret Lair of actually useable cards, and some more absolutely bizarre art to go with t𝔉hem.

Secret Lair x Brain Dead Staples

Skullclamp

Lightning Greaves

Sol Ring

Thought Vessel

Command Tower

Lightning Greaves and Skull Clamp are two of the most popular Equipment artifacts in Commander, and here, tattoo artist Jackston Epstein is exploring a whole new, untouched medium for Magic art. His other two cards in the drop, Thought Vessel and Command Tower, are more traditional illustrations, but with thick lines and harsh🧸 shading that still gives a tattoo-y vibe to the car𝓡ds.

The final card is, naturally, Sol Ring, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the most-played card in Commander. Is it spไonge? Coral? Honeycomb? Either way, the lion faces poking out of it make this one of my personal favourites in all three of 🀅the Brain Dead drops.

Secret Lair x Brain Dead Creatures

The main event of these drops is the Creatures. Even if the art on offer isn’t entirely to your taste, it includes highly sought-♏after reprints that🃏 could make it worth picking up.

Secret Lair x Brain Dead Creatures

Consecrated Sphinx

Chaotic Goo

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker

Meteor Golem

Wurmcoil Engine

Chaotic Goo has never had a reprint before, debuting way back in Tempest. It’s perhaps the lowest-power card in this drop, and even then 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:coin flip decks are going to absolutely love it as a flip ena📖ble൩r.

Meteor Golem is the lowest-value card in this drop, having been reprinted in 🤪just about every Commander set for many years. The comic-book sketch art by Kogan is really cool, though.

Consecrated Sphinx; Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker; and Wurmcoil Engine are you headliners here, though. All three of them contribute to some truly disgusting combos, and have retained combined value of more than the drop’s cost, despite all three 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:being reprinted in the last few years.

Each of these dꦑrops will be made available while stocks last as part of the , which begins on Monday, July 29. Nonfoi💯l versions will cost $29.99/£29.99, while foil will be $39.99/£39.99.
