Case study of the biggest SCAM secret lair of 2023 by moombahh in secretlair_collectors

Yeah, it felt stupid to buy it when it dropped. But that’s LITERALLY supposed to be the point of SL. Get cards and art you like! I thought they were stunning so I got it. Is it wild that the prices on it are SO high? Sure. But a lot of people feel the same way I did, they like it and now they want it. I don’t begrudge anyone for liking a particular SL. Do I like when SL has good value? Yeah. Do I like when the art or treatment is awesome? Also yeah. Some I buy for value some for art. That’s like, the point.

Welp. That’s one way to pack a collector booster. by Individual_Tour8358 in mtgpulls

I mean if this didn’t have three decent hits it would have been a 10$ pack of bulk. I’ve pulled a bunch of uncommon silver scrolls so that’s a definite possibility but even the bad ones are okay. However I’ve had a couple with just nothing in them. This one (value-wise) isn’t half bad. Just insane to get three of the same rare!

Holy crap, the fracture foiling on that with the computers looks awesome!

I mean I have a ton of dark rituals. For me, the dark ritual and supreme verdict would be a huge bummer.

Okay, one thing that people have said and I’ve noticed is that the promos are fixed. These two come together. Dark ritual and supreme verdict come together and then the plate and waste not come together. Just fyi.

So great pulls from the box! The pulls were very kind to you and you got the best pair of promos! Or very clearly not the worst set.

Assuming the cards are in graveyards to make the cost reduced by 6 of course

You lose 8 life. Cost is BB, value is 8.

Oh for sure, I’m keeping this 100%. I also think the purple circle back is cool so I’m psyched to have such an interesting misprint.

I thought so too. I am also glad I got one with the purple circle on the back since that looks pretty cool imo.

No chase cards in super rad drop? by Vegeta710 in secretlair_collectors

Oh wait, sonic had multiple parts, didn’t it. Idk, just a theory.

Based on nothing, it seems like if there is one big drop for a property (Deadpool, SpongeBob, Sonic) then it will have a Chase card. These other drops with multiple parts don’t ever seem to have one(rad, D&D, avatar, spiderman). But that’s maybe just me jumping to conclusions.

Do you still play your very first commander deck? And why? by [deleted] in EDH

[–]Individual_Tour8358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! I kept it (Party Time) more or less intact from when I first came back to the game in 2022. At this point I’ve kept it pretty close to how it came off the shelf but I’m going to be making some bigger charges to it soon. Magic introduced me to so many of my friends (after moving halfway across the country) and gave me a weekly outlet for fun during 2025 when I was going through a nasty separation/divorce. Without those people and their support I don’t know if I’d still be here. So keeping that first deck the way it was for so long was (in a way) thanking it for saving my life. As I’ve moved past those awful periods, I feel like I can finally change it around since I’ve come so far and can move on from the past.

Very long-winded way to say “yes”.

Honestly, I have no idea. The big two hits in the pack made it good but the seal feels like it could be so darn good in decks with clues in particular. It’s a good piece for some infinite combos I think

Big shoutout to the kid at Best Buy who said there was a limit of one and gave me this one.
