There's no mechanic reason for it, they're the same card on both sides, but it adds to the flipping theme of the deck, and that's really nice. The deck is focused on flipping coins, flipping them again using Krark's Thumb, and using all those flips to build Okaun, Eye of Chaos up big enough to punch through for the win.Īs a coin-flip deck, this Secret Lair's also unique in that all five of the main cards are double-sided, with different illustrations on the front and back. The five main cards of the drop are the two partnered Commanders, and a few of the key parts of the deck, which are all only available in foil: Many people feel uncomfortable using her art in their decks, and now Rhystic Study can be replaced with an Unstable Harmonics. Rhystic Study's only other art (bar a Judge's promo in 2018 which costs over $200) is by Terese Nielsen, who was dropped by Wizards of the Coast after she was outed as supporting the QAnon far-right conspiracy theory, and allegedly followed and liked racist, antisemitic, and transphobic tweets. All seven cards have been announced, but so far only four have had their art revealed.Įasily the headliner of this drop is Unstable Harmonics, a reprint of the blue taxing enchantment Rhystic Study. This bundle is the latest Universes Beyond crossover, seeing the new Netflix show Arcane: League of Legends make an appearance on reprints of popular Magic cards. It’s a community twenty-five years in the making, with players, fans, and artists from all around the world united by a love of the game.The first drop is the big one we already knew about: Secret Lair x Arcane. That customizability means every game plays out a little different.Īt every step, players must draw on their critical thinking skills to calculate the perfect strategy, predict the oncoming attack, and outwit the opponent. Magic: The Gathering combines playing cards and trading cards: players face off with decks they’ve built by selecting cards from a larger pool. “If you have any questions about how the deck plays, you can hit me up on Twitter Enjoy!” Or if you really want the table to flip out, use Chandra’s Ignition so your 10,000 power (or similar) Okaun kills the table at once! If there are creatures in the way, you can sneak it through with cards that grant unblockability. If you have some equipment, suit him up! You just need to win three coin flips to kill with Okaun using Commander damage-and maybe less with the right equipment. I’ve attacked for over 10,000 damage with a single Okaun before! They’ll try to remove it, but that’s what your counterspells are for. Deploy Okaun-the way this deck normally kills. “And that’s when you know you’ve got them. Your opponents will think it’s so cute and laugh. ‘Look at the funny coin-flip deck! Haha.’ Then, start deploying your Commanders! Usually, I suggest starting with Zndrsplt so you can start flipping coins and drawing cards. “You’ll want to spend the early turns building up your mana rocks and equipment, and playing some silly coin flip cards. and then by the time you’ve started attacking people for lethal, it’s too late to stop your coin-flipping reign of terror. “I've loved Zndrsplt and Okaun ever since I made them in Battlebond-and this Commander deck out of my personal collection puts them center stage! It looks so lovable and innocent. This deck is from Gavin Verhey’s secret vault, and it’s a blast to play. You can swap which side you want to show off when casting the spell, or just stick with your favorite. You can even flip a coin to pick! It’s just another way you can express yourself when playing the game. These are double-sided cards, but they have the same functional card on each side. However, each side has different art. Reversible cards are a cool new piece of Magic tech we’re excited to debut here. It’s a relatively straightforward concept, but it results in some awesome looking cards. Reversible Cards? What in Tarnation Are Those? That’s right, for a limited time you can grab a unique, 100-card deck filled with tons of foils, 10 pieces of killer new art (across five cards, we will explain), and a bunch of other goodies like a unique flippin’ coin and life wheel. We’re super stoked to introduce Secret Lair’s very first Commander Deck.
