Revealed live at GenCon in Indianapolis, Indiana, the Dungeons & Dragons 50th Anniversary Superdrop will contain five individual Secret Lair drops with their own unique offerings. While details for the superdrop are still limited, WotC did provide the titles of each individual drop so we can get an idea of possible themes.

Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons®: An Exhibition of Adventure

Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons®: Astarion’s Thirst

Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons®: Karlach’s Rage

Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons®: Death is in the Eyes of the Beholder

Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons®: Death is in the Eyes of the Beholder II

Personally I found Farewell and The Wandering Emperor to be some of the most un-fun cards to play against. Farewell, in my opinion, should never have been printed. Losing Farewell is a huge gift to Standard and I think that kind of card is just miserable for so many decks.

Anyone excited for the new rotation? Any older decks that are now competitive again? Any new brew ideas? I'd love to hear them!

How did you all get on at your prereleases?

Looks to be a synergy set as despite opening Lumara, Maha, and almost one of each of the reanination spells in the set I went 2:1. =ł ah well.

Matched up against a fun deck blinking Head of the Homestead with the token class enchantment. Luckily it doesn't do well against Vren the Relentless.
On the other hand it turns out that Azure Beastbinder is a top tier threat, and synergy can beat power.

Still I can't complain about opening chase cards. What about all of you? Any fun interactions or moments from your prerelease?

Every time I think I’ve seen Magic: The Gathering’s most unexpected crossover yet – be that Hatsune Miku or the board game Clue – Wizards of the Coast figures out some way to surprise me yet again. This time it’s with a selection of cards set in the world of the Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Split across two Secret Lair drops, the latest Universes Beyond tie-in will have eight reprints and one token reskinned with references and jokes from the classic 1975 film. One drop will have five cards total, one of which is double-faced so you can choose if it’s either an African or European swallow, while the other will have three cards and a token.

Of the 11 new printings of planeswalkers, 4 are in the Commander precons, 1 is normally collectible from the set, and the other 6 have the commander set symbol but aren't in the decks.

This means that if you wanted a chance to pull them yourself from packs, you must be opening collectors boosters as they are the only ones with a slot for commander cards.

It feels so scummy of them to not use special guest slot for cards like this. It's not the first time, and it doesn't only affect the planeswalkers. There are some rather pricy rats (marrow gnawer and Ink eyes) also secluded from standard pull tables this way.

Anyone know when this started? I noticed it a year or so back when there was a green commander set card, but no green commander deck, but I cannot recall the card or set.
