non foil $29.99/foil $39.99

Well out of the blue.

remmeber that music video made for kamigawa neon dynasty.

well she back but this time with secret lair cards.

Value wise not worth it since but worth it to fans and want it for the art. It does have Azusa, lost but seeking though for commander players

I might have bought this just for the alternate Azusa but the face really ruins it for me, a shame since I really like the rest of the art on the card.

This made me remember how much I regret not buying the Korg Miku guitar pedal before the prices exploded... I did buy some sleeves with her for fun, but those Japanese sleeves are so fragile they cut each other open if you shuffle them...
The only good card is Azusa. I'm also not sure how Miku is "Inspiring" on the land card lol...

Another low value secret lair where they lean heavily on another IP in the hopes it sells, and it will. That Azusa art is a bit yeesh.

So this is what Wizards of the Coast / Hasbro does whenever they have an IP they aren't confident enough will do well as a Universes Beyond product through retail release via regular booster boxes and/or Commander Precons at LGSs. They really could've gone all in with The Princess Bride but was a missed opportunity unfortunately (I mean seriously no Count Rugen, the Six Fingered Man?) Oh but Fallout has a much wider audience so it will sell better. Makes sense. Makes me wonder where this company gets their metrics from for these IP's. I bet it's why they've been sitting on Power Rangers for the LONGEST time but did something with Transformers. Paying out for these expensive licensing fees to do this sort of thing is no small feat after all.

I had hoped that Count Rugen would have been the bonus card for that drop, but alas, it was just another Command Tower.

Completely unrelated, but...

It was a common saying before either of them said it, so... is there a point to knowing who of these two heard/said it first?
