Get ready for the next Secret Lair Superdrop, featuring an amazing collection of cards with stunning artwork!
A Treasure Trove of Goodies
The much-anticipated Secret Lair Superdrop is nearly upon us, and it’s packed with delightful surprises. If you’re a fan of dragons, you’ll definitely want to check out the charming illustrations found in the They Grow Up So Fast Secret Lair. For those who enjoy quirky crossovers, there’s an array of MTG X Spongebob Squarepants products waiting for you as well.
But wait, that’s not all! There’s another set of five cards that fit the cartoon theme beautifully. Introducing the Twisted Toons Secret Lair, an exciting collection with art by Desmuncubic that will surely bring out your inner child. Not only are these cards nostalgic, but they also boast stunning visuals and an impressive value.
Silence – A Classic Card with a Twist
Isn’t this variant of Silence reminiscent of the classic Tom and Jerry antics? This eye-catching illustration is just one of the many reasons to love this new take on a powerful card.
Silence is often a staple in combo-based decks in Pioneer. For instance, decks featuring Lotus Field can utilize Silence effectively to counter opponents’ moves. Either your opponent uses their mana to target Silence with a counterspell, or they let it resolve, leaving them unable to disrupt your strategy during your combo turn. In either case, you’re in a strong position.
With the advent of Modern Horizons 3, which brings Orim’s Chant into Modern, the play rate of Silence has dipped a bit. Nevertheless, it remains a valuable card, with its non-foil version priced at over $7.
Winds of Abandon – Versatile Removal
Winds of Abandon is a go-to removal spell that brings versatility to your gameplay. Exiling an opponent’s creature for just two mana might seem standard, but when you ramp it up to six mana, you can turn it into a one-sided board wipe. Sure, your opponent may get a few lands, but if you’re applying pressure with strong attacks, that won’t matter much.
While Winds of Abandon isn’t frequently seen in Constructed formats, as it’s not legal in Standard, Pioneer, or any exclusive MTG Arena format, it does make its mark in Commander and special draft settings like Vintage Cube. Having only appeared in Modern Horizons and The List means its scarcity contributes to its price, landing around $7 as well.
Culling the Weak – A Unique Ritual
Culling the Weak presents a distinct “Ritual” effect that dates back to Exodus. While less reliable than Dark Ritual, generating a burst of three additional mana can be incredibly powerful. The catch? You need to sacrifice a creature to make it work. Culling the Weak shines in cEDH Storm decks that utilize cheap Commanders, like Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh, to maximize its potential.
Although its value diminished after a reprint in Mystery Booster 2, Culling the Weak still holds a price point exceeding $6. Additionally, this is its first appearance with new artwork, adding even more appeal.
Young Wolf – A Simple Yet Effective Card
Young Wolf might look straightforward, but it has a solid place in Modern. This 1/1 creature with Undying may not seem like a gamechanger at first, but when paired with Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, things start to get interesting. With two copies of Young Wolf and Yawgmoth, along with cards like Dredger’s Insight to offset life loss, you can draw your entire deck!
Though Golgari Yawgmoth isn’t as prevalent as it once was, especially with the popularity of Grinding Breach, there’s always potential for resurgence. Unfortunately, Young Wolf’s value is trivial, having been reprinted multiple times, most recently in Innistrad Remastered where it hovers around ten cents.
Fatal Push – A Top Kill Spell
Fatal Push recently made waves with its new artwork preview for the Twisted Toons Secret Lair. It’s one of the most effective kill spells in the game, earning its place in almost every black deck in Pioneer. With Fetchlands prevalent in Modern and Legacy, activating the revolt condition becomes easy, making Fatal Push a formidable addition to any strategy.
Despite being one of the strongest uncommons in the past decade, its numerous reprints and common rarity keep its price low, typically under $2 for its non-foil variant.
Total Value of the Collection
Like many Secret Lairs, the Totally Toons product will be available for purchase on March 24th at 9 a.m. PST, offering both non-foil and rainbow foil editions. The non-foil version is priced at $29.99, while the rainbow foil edition comes in at $39.99.
When considering the non-foil reprint value of the showcased cards, the total amounts to around $22. While this falls slightly short of the $29.99 cost, don’t forget that Secret Lair cards often carry more value than their traditional counterparts.
It’s worth mentioning that the rainbow foil edition of Culling the Weak has previously only been available as a foil promo in Japanese manga, valued at over $20. This makes the rainbow foil edition an attractive option for players looking to add flair to their Commander decks.
So, mark your calendars and be ready to grab these Secret Lairs before they fly off the shelves!
