New Scret Lairs annouced along with, lol, a banned annoucement:
https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/announcing-secret-lairs-smitten-superdrop-2021-02-10

quote:

(Note: We are planning an upcoming B&R announcement. In that announcement, we plan to ban Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath in Pioneer, Modern, and Historic. Additionally, we are continuing discussions about doing the same in Legacy. While we are still working internally on the larger B&R announcement for that week, we wanted to share this information ahead of this sale.)

Telling people up front is exactly as decent as they ought to be with an announcement like this, at least.

Are secret lair prices based off the secondary market value of cards? or can you get alt-art versions of modern staples cheaper through secret lair?

Generally they end up influenced by secondary market value, yeah.

Also 1. Good riddance, now just change Cascade rules with MDFCs(preferred) or ban Valki and 2. I need a set of those Primeval Titans 0_0

gently caress uro, this is good. also lol at pre-announcing a ban announcement but given that they're printing him in a secret lair i think it's better to do it this way than the alternative.

I would love to get 25 of the swamps from the brutal lands drop for when we can play in person again. Not sure if there will ever be a sensible way to do that. I can’t see buying 25 sets of this (if they even allow that), and then trying to flip the rest of the lands to avoid going down nearly a grand on some basics.

I think I’d rather try to pay aftermarket but I’d imagine those swamps probably start at :10bux: per single and just increase over time.

Like many decisions in this area, the answer is clearly “Yes” but they will never, ever say so out loud

Vlaada is my co-pilot.

If there's no explicit mention of the lairs including arena codes we should assume they don't right?

So the main drop is to the 21st and Black is Magic starts on the 22nd? Odd.

My friend was talking about buying a full shipment of the seb set and I think that was a full 32 as the limit?

I forget if he actually did it. Those were some real dumb conversations. I was only made aware since we were group shipping and he wanted to fill the allotment then said he was just going to buy a full shipment. Argh.

Thank god. Between that ban and HA4 the format should get shaken up a good bit, looking forward to it.

I ordered a couple from the previous superdrop, they have a dedicated EU store nowadays so it was hassle-free, don't know about the actual delivery though since that hasn't happened yet

Everyone is allowed to have a pet card I guess.

Off topic, but something I've been wondering: how many of you guys are able to tell what colours of mana a Triome produces without mousing over it?

I don't think Uro needed a ban in Pioneer. You had to build your deck around him instead of just shoe-horning him in.

Yeah, they already said it was designed with Strixhaven in mind, it would work in the DnD set as a level up/multiclass mechanic and obviously the innistrad sets are going to have flip cards.
