i like the azami art and might finally build her for edh, and be hated by my playgroup...
i don't really like the concept of the post malone one at all. i think that's a very slippery slope. my opinion here will also probably be an unpopular one, but like 2 years ago when we were saying it was a slippery slope toward this end we were all being called irrational... yet here we are.
next up: secret lair the advertising - where they're just used as a marketing tool by the highest bidder. release a new movie? secret lair! roll out a new car? secret lair! make a new sports drink? secret lair! i'm sure the iphone tie-in secret lair will sell like hot cakes.
From now on, the answer to that question is always "Post Malone."
Didn't the guy buy some BGS 9.5 Black Lotus for 800k $? Wizard's favorite customer now, they made the 30th Anniversary Edition just for him.
I hope the Backstage Pass Secret Lair is not only that card...
He also been doing other promotional/collaborations work on magic (mostly arena) with wotc the last year or so as well as working with content creators. I'm personally not a fan of his music but make sense they decided to let him have a secret lair.

It's hard to get excited in Secret Lairs as an Australian, for whatever reason shipping to Australia is about 75% of the price. Seriously the postage of the $160 bundle just now is $120, I'd expect Rosewater to be dropping off the envelope for that price.
Like usual the Secret Lairs tend to be one good card with the rest being cheap or middling and by that fact barely hit the $30-$40. I still don't even know who this Post guy is or what they do. (No one tell me.)

Yep one good card with a bunch of chaff. But they don't acknowledge that secondary market do they?

Great art, like usual from him, but that seems it's less seizing a thought and more sucking someones bones from their body. Was the thought "Boy, I'm glad to have bones"?
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
You don't want a foil jet medallion for commander?!
The other "cards" could be torn then burnt live on Twitch for fun, but that medallion alone will undoubtedly be worth more than the whole drop within a year.

I want a Christina Aguilera Secret Lair tbh specifically for Bionic <3
|| UW Jace, Vyn's Prodigy UW || UG Kenessos, Priest of Thassa (feat. Arixmethes) UG ||
Cards I still want to see created:
|| Olantin, Lost City || Pavios and Thanasis || Choryu ||
Besides being a cheap, sucking-up-to-celebrity-and-pop-culture move on hasbro's part, this is defiling worse than anything phyrexia has ever done...
This is a decision that will age oddly. What happens when dude's dark secrets come out and he becomes infamous? Happens with celebrities all the time.
We'll probably be getting a bunch of people I don't know or care about as cards. We'll be told that they're very famous and popular.

Right, this is the exact reason they only put dead people on money and stamps.
Edit: Apparently lookingupanddown did. Partially anyway

spaced out: this would have been one of the rare perfect lair if it had prismatic vista instead of passage

Thoughtseize art by Junji Ito
Great art, like usual from him, but that seems it's less seizing a thought and more sucking someones bones from their body. Was the thought "Boy, I'm glad to have bones"?
Eh, I'm more shocked that they reprinted something as obscure as Leshrac's Sigil. At least Stasis is recognizable and (in)famous.
You don't want a foil jet medallion for commander?!
The other "cards" could be torn then burnt live on Twitch for fun, but that medallion alone will undoubtedly be worth more than the whole drop within a year.
