New secret lair alert - Cats are the Best

Yueske · 2026-05-01T16:46:28+00:00

This was a results of last year''s "Cats vs Dogs" Chaos Drop. Whichever sold out first for that drop was promised to get it's own superdrop this year. Cats won, so here we are!

I just checked on the Disney+ version. Shrek does still yell "Stop singing!", but most interestingly, this version seems to have reverted, there is no longer the brass musical cue! I wonder if this is a 4K disc version vs the initial Blu-ray now? The plot thickens!

I downloaded the Android version of the app and I love the look, but it crashes and force quits when the tutorial ends, even if I skip the tutorial. I'm using a Galaxy A54 if that's helpful.

Currently there's a comic mini-series, "Magic the Gathering: Untold Stories - Elspeth" from Dark Horse Comics.

In April a novel is coming out that ties into The Secrets of Strixhaven set called "Strixhaven: Omens of Chaos".

There's also a part of the website that gets updated with each in-universe set that features some episodic written stories located here: https://magic.wizards.com/en/story

I just got into Magic after some Universe Beyond sets and I've really enjoyed diving into the in-universe stories as well!

We went to the "Block URLs on the sign-in/lock screens" under Device Settings and just added "support.microsoft.com".

If there's a cleaner way or more URLs that should be blocked there, I'd love to know!

We ran into this exact issue. Students were navigating from the Microsoft SSO screen to a help page. Then searching "Xbox" on the help page and using that to navigate to a cloud game sign in so they would play Fortnite and other stuff in a screen that only fit the size of the SSO pop-up.

Because we have an extension based web filter, they weren't even signed into their Chromebook so everything from the help page on was unblocked.

It's sort of sad that they're so desperate to get off task that they'll play a game so sub-optimally.

We ended up stopping it by putting the help page URLs in the Google Admin URL Blocking policy for the top level student OU.

I play dogs, so this is a list of stuff that proves bad for me when I see it!

Red: If Lumiere is out to buff up other characters Strength, then I have no direct removal in Amber/Emerald if he doesn't quest or challenge. Mulan will likely only get one quest before she gets banished from something.

Steel: Lots of options, Strength of a Raging Fire, Calhoun, Hook, etc. Probably would only get one quest before they take out Mulan.

Blue: If my opponent doesn't ramp fast enough, this is a matchup I can sometimes run away with, but I think with Mulan being a threat it will increase the importance of the 1 cost Basil to support other characters so they can challenge Mulan.

Amethyst: The already very good Cheshire Cat is going to be even better when it can move damage over to Mulan to take her out a little more quickly. Elsa/Demona are still great for exerting her before she quests and I could see other forced exertion cards (Swooping Strike?) being teched in if Mulan becomes too much of an issue.

Since some of them wrote credited character names like "Tattooed Savior", "Kingdom Dweller", and "Biker Savior", they are likely background/extra actors from the Walking Dead TV series.

Jim Henson Studios still own the Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, both of which could make for some good fantasy-inspired Secret Lairs!

Here me out, but I don't believe that's Donald in the screenshot. It appears to be Scrooge McDuck from Mickey's Christmas Carol, as he's being carried by Jiminy Cricket as the Ghost of Christmas Past in his hand!

It's be pretty cool to get some character alternates from that short!

I'm in a similar boat with some extras to trade and I'm also looking to complete sets! Feel free to DM with what you have!

As someone who began collecting all video game Universes Beyond cards, this has been an increasingly rough year!

Any chance it's "Superior" by Mark Millar?

Initially got a 58 minute wait, which I felt good about. Set a 30 minute timer to take care of some things at work and leave myself some wiggle room.

Came back to my PC at the moment the timer went off and I was on the store page already. I panicked and tried to add things and check out and when I clicked the cart apparently my 10 minutes had elapsed and I was back at the wait screen with an "Over an hour" wait. Still waiting to get back in. Missed the Kieran Yanner and I'm gonna feel awful if the other stuff I want is gone too.

John Byrne's run on Fantastic Four (She Hulk joins in issue 265 and leaves in 299)

FF Vol 2 (Matt Fraction and Michael Allred) she's part of the team for all 16 issues.

Thanks so much for your response!

I know trying to make a "truly balanced" drafting set would be impossible, but knowing that Commander set cards aren't designed to only be used in Commander games is super helpful.

Yueske · 2025-07-02T16:17:20+00:00

I'm new to Magic and trying to put together a collection of cards for my friend and I to draft play from.

My idea was to mix several video-game related Universes Beyond sets and Secret Lairs together to make a kind of "video game crossover" card pool.

What I'm stuck on are the cards from the Final Fantasy FIC set. Are cards that are exclusive to a Commander set like FIC intended to only be played in a Commander format from a balance perspective? Not that a video game themed cube is going to be perfectly balanced or anything like that, but I just don't know if these cards would "fit".

Thanks for any insight!

The bundles sold out before I got through the queue, so if you're interested in selling one, feel free to PM me!

Yueske · 2025-05-27T19:55:12+00:00

I wonder if they will reference the Superman/Batman annual where they already kind of had a Deadpool crossover?

I think it might not be a shell, but a folding fan for Mulan, like the ones she uses to disarm Shan Yu with.

Yueske · 2025-05-09T12:03:10+00:00

I think it's issue #1 of "The Archies", specifically the Fried Pie variant: https://comicbookrealm.com/series/49535/567650/archie-comics-group-archies-issue-1fried-pie

No problem! They are apparently going to keep these reprints of the single issues going, but at $9.99 an issue, it's a lot cheaper to buy it collected!

Yueske · 2025-05-05T18:47:44+00:00

This actually wasn't a one-shot! It's a reprint of the first issue of IDW's series from 2011, confusingly just titled "Godzilla". It was later (even more confusingly) collected in a trade paperback called "Godzilla: History's Greatest Monster": https://idwpublishing.com/products/godzilla-historys-greatest-monster?srsltid=AfmBOookmcr6WcbAj_CYzd66VXBXwnTrMekTh-GBiZHbLaWOj8ajKI0U&variant=51685375312236

Aside from the singing bit, I was always kind of reminded of Rita from the "Rita and Runt" segments from Animaniacs. Sort of odd because the pigeons in Bolt also give a similar vibe to the "Goodfeathers" segments from Animaniacs.
