Good news: This entire thing is nonfoil.
Bad news: You have less that 24 hours to decide if you want to spend $30 for this... and shipping starts in mid-October.
Another Secret Lair (the other being the costumed PW one) that probably would have been better placed during October to have some Halloween themed Secret Lairs. This kind of reminds me of Munchkin. Definitely not worth $30 though, at $20 I'd consider it based on the art alone.
Also, what's the point of selling a product now that you can't ship for two months? I understand preorders are a thing, but this seems strange here.
after theros taking so long and couple were potato chips and the nylea was damage so had to wait for a replacement Jim just aiming for singles with these
Necrotic ooze is the only one tickling my fancies because I’m working on a activated ability edh deck With kenrith
Somehow this utter rubbish art makes the Tatoo Art Drop look good.
The art is HORRIBAD!!! Spongebob Squarepants level garbo. Need eyebleach stat!
Hardest of hard passes. They would have to pay me to take them. Where is the vomit smiley/emoticon when you need it?
Please ban this artist for cripes sake.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

You know what they say about Secret Lairs being targeting a subset of the magic audience? I actually love everything about these - from the card choices, the card art and flavor text. This is my first trigger pull on SL - and I know that this may be the first hard pass for others - and in that respect, I think SL is actually doing it's job - providing cards that a portion of the playerbase finds entertaining without being something that everyone feels they need to purchase.
Guys, one of the main points of this whole Secret Lair thing was for unusual art styles. The fact that you don't like this one is a good sign. It's more evidence that they are willing to do art styles not everyone will like, and therefore its more likely whatever art style you like that others don't is going to show up. Actually doing quirky, controversial art styles makes this product more justifiable. If it was too broadly appealing it would be nothing more than a way for WotC to sell card singles at secondary prices. At least this way there is something more unique about this product.
Don't know why you are talking about it like it's some kind of insult or something. Do you complain like this every time you see something with an art style outside your taste?
Shut up and take my...2 cents...maybe? I thought the Foglios were atrocious but this is even worse, up next, iconic cards illustrated by the Garbage Pail Kids artists.
So why is this 30$, but €34.99 on the other side of the Atlantic?
either trees are more expensive in eu or desire to support (nonexistent) na secondary market in time of crisis. /s
i never understood why cards that can be printed in eu at the same cost are more expensive than those in na.
This is the first secret lair I have picked up I have regretted not grabbing the others for my commander decks so I am actually pretty excited to get this and see what planswalker I get

If they werent weird or abnormal arts on these it would be a bigger problem I think.
For some reason I like the arts for these. Will I get them, no but I like them.
I thought the Lightning Bolts were horrid and so the Tatoo was terrible but Really liked the Birds one. It is for different people and I accept that now.
Now should Wizards really be selling things when they don't know when they might ship....that's a different story.

They're all pretty solid cards (Voidslime maybe being the worst since Disallow exists, but I sympathize with the flavortext) but the artwork is maybe a little too samey across four of them. I guess they're meant for an ooze commander deck or something.
That Voidslime art has the most appalling wizard of all time.
I dunno though, if they're going for silly, imagine how much they'd sell if they commissioned the Foglios to do some Secret Lairs.
Necrotic Ooze, Acidic Slime, Scavenging Ooze, The Mimeoplasm and Voidslime make their way to a slime-themed Secret Lair.
Good news: This entire thing is nonfoil.
Bad news: You have less that 24 hours to decide if you want to spend $30 for this... and shipping starts in mid-October.
If you like the art and Voidslime's flavor text, here's the link to order.

Still not buying WotC's whalebait, now or ever.

I dont really have an interest in this one. Decent ooze related cards, just not very inspiring

If someone is playing with these cards, i am already sorry for you.
