I personally think that making Secret Lairs (all of them) limited time offers and not limited print like they are doing right now. Sure it won't eliminate all the scalpers but I like to imagine that if Goblin Storm for example was sold for a week instead of just until theyre out of stock, those who wanted it would have it and scalpers would probably end up with a surplus that only those unfortunate to not have the money during that week will have to buy from. That amount probably won't be enough to warrant the hundreds of boxes their shitty bots got them and they end up going broke in the end. Ideally.

Now of course I am not a economist and maybe I am seeing a problem here. One being a longer delay between buying of the product and retrieving of it since this'll mean its print on demand, but wouldn't WotC just end up selling more copies this way?

Title says it all. Don't be a mana poser

Alas, I am poor

Four Hours Later Update: I had to run back to Walmart so I checked for fun. They are all gone now.

Please let me know what you agree and disagree with.

Okay but real talk, I can get the frustration of companies engaging more in crossovers in media. However, I was introduced to Magic through Fallout and the commander decks released for that, Mothman was even my first precon that I bought. So yeah, it is frustrating, but UB got me into Magic and I just bought some Lorwyn packs today.

I’m also probably not going to get the new Marvel cards lol.

Thoughts?

My husband showed me the new single he had bought proudly saying “I finally got the card that reminds me of you!”

Goldberry, River-Daughter

It was oddly sweet and I feel so seen.

Anyone else have a card twin?

I ordered this card from TCGplayer and it came with this odd note/sticker. Is Brenden ok? Is this just how Brenden lives his life? Does Brenden need a hug? What the hell is sad girl music anyway? If you see this, Brenden, the people need to know.

Suggestions on how best way to sort?

Old man magic rant: Back in my day sets came in the form of blocks and all these sets occured in the same universe where a story would be told typically within these three set part blocks. Also each set would have mechanics that compliment eachother set within the block that made drafting quite fun. Each set when magic was done in block form was given some love and attention as they all had to fit within a cohesive design path. The lorwyn block was when I started playing and it was the best damn block to start playing in. The card pool had so much hybrid selection going multicolor was easy, tribal decks, and it begun my hatred for faeries <3

Within the near 20 years I waited mtg return to a few pre-established universes in block form, made new universes and then returned to those ones and now the return of my favorite set is treated as a comidified afterfart? In a 2026 lineup where only 2 sets involve an mtg universe?
