lol at the idea of ever spending 160+ united states dollars on 5 pieces of cardboard, especially right now when the economy is tanking and all events are being cancelled Granted they are pieces of cardboard with pretty nice art on them

The fact that these are being forced upon stores and not being sold by WotC is pretty telling. They don't even have the confidence to take the risk of the market rejecting their piece of poo poo product.

Other than the fact that the guy I like might actually feel a bit bad about it

I love the low key admission that they haven't been able to get a handle on their foiling process turning cards into marked tacos by offering this drop of cards that are in high-demand for competitive play in non-foil.

It doesn't cost them anything to print except their reputation, and they can't offload that to stores.

i don't know why they just didn't make these foils foiled on both sides, which would avoid warping. it's not like people are gonna play with these without sleeves. furthermore ...

Yeah but you better be banging your LGS owner to expect 4/10 of your stores copies. And none of this hole in the sheet stuff you had better been getting kinky if you want the playset

WPN Page for the Secret Lair. Wanted to highlight this bit quote:Supplies are super limited. Most stores will get three to five, around ten on the higher end—but there is a way to get more: reach WPN Premium. So in fact, even less copies available!

They are just printing a few of this fancy cardboard poo poo and throwing them out there to watch people fight among themselves for the privilege to give them money. WotC are loving trolls.

Seems like a questionable time to be promoting that, imo. 40 players that do 6+ events a year, 15 new players that go on to do 6+ events a year, 2000 entries across all MTG events, and the store checklist. So "Do the loving checklist" i guess?

Was already not going to my LGS because I don't trust player's hygiene. Don't know if I'll go back to magic when this is all done given how flagrantly mercenary they're being with the secret lairs. Tbh I'm kinda over propping up predatory businesses with my fun money.

Bought the Thalia Secret Lair then logged into Arena and found out the sleeves are already available digital and I don't even play Paper anymore. No refunds so I guess I can just sleeve them up and Collect Them.
