Bit late (Mother's Day was last month, and Father's Day is the day before preorders begin), but the summer Secret Lair series (called the All-Natural, Totally Refreshing Superdrop) begins with four Mother of Runes, one of which is done by Rebecca Guay, and another by her daughter Eliette Mitchell. Prices are $29.99/€34.99/£29.99/CN¥204.00 for nonfoil and $39.99/€44.99/£39.99/CN¥272.00 for traditional foil.
I don't know why, but I don't like this. None of the art really speaks to me and the price for this is not great. Mother of Runes is a good card, but not $30 for four good.
Pretty sure Grandmother Sengir is on the Reserved List...
Indeed.
What I meant was that I'd really like to see her in another form, similar to how we recently saw Baron Sengir revived as Sengir, the Dark Baron
Doing a Mothers day secret lair nearly on Father's Day with no Father's Day Secret Lair is extremely disgusting, disrespectful and likely done on purpose.

Or maybe they weren't able to get it done last month, but they'd commissioned 4 arts, so they figured they'd release it anyway.

Considering Mother's/Father's Day comes around the same time every year I'm gonna say it was pretty easy for a billion dollar company to look at a calendar to line them up where last super drop had the mother's day and this had father's day.
It doesn't bother me that a father's day one doesn't exist, but to say "it couldn't be done on time" is a lame excuse when it comes to a company pumping out 400 products a year to coincide with a specific day.

I believe it's more likely, given the trend, that this was deliberate. They made a SL to coincide with Valentine's Day. And Women's Day. It's one thing to shame fathers that walk, but part of cultivating a good society is celebrating the good fathers, too. It's concerning for walking the line between making a genuine difference, and subtle political hostility.

This is the sort of marketing that convinces me it has nothing to do with making a genuine difference, and everything to do with subtle political hostility.
The Valentine's one where they forgot a card? Secret Lair hasn't exactly been glitch free as people constantly point out in threads about it.

This seems like a bit of a stretch? Don't you think?

I want them all!...in quadruplicate!
I used to be a demigod, but now I'm an omnimage
But if you must, I'll take a Giver of Runes as well.
It'll probably be mother bear or Sakiko, mother of summer
Personally, I'd be happiest to see Grandmother Sengir!

What would they give us?...a Maro playset with borderless alternate art?

Based on this one, that announcement won't come until late July.
These make the cards just way too busy. Great pieces for a gallery, not so great with text overlaid.

Card's with dad nicknames, so Gary, Steve, Tim... but not Bob. Bob's your uncle.
Hostility toward what?

Edit: Also worth noting, I think, that here have been 2 separate "good dad" cards in secret lairs - Teferi's Protection and Teferi, Hero of Dominaria
I finally received my copies the other day which came in small cardboard envelopes with a heart-shaped Secret Lair logo
