If Slivers and Shocklands return in this standard, my poor wallet.
Shocklands == Ravnica only (mostly likely)(as they will need something to hype the return to return to return to return to ravnica)
The exception to this being the science fiction shocklands that Unfinity will have. Maybe they'll be reprints and black border, maybe they'll be new and silver.
For whatever its worth, these are marked as Etched Foils on the Secret Lair site. All of the others in this super drop are marked as just Foil.
These are really cool and I may end up getting one of each.
theres another thing
If you use a wizard account you also get a set booster pack from D&D set
Because I had trouble finding it, it's located on the mothership article for the super drop, at the very bottom. One pack per customer (regardless of however many preorders they have).
The Secret Lair website has updated to say "Coming Soon", with palm trees in the background. Summer Sale will probably be in the next week or so, maybe beginning of July at the latest.
These cards will be part of future The list sets as well so you can get them from set packs, why would you buy the secret lair then? Also they said that they're directly for commander only.
You would buy this secret lair if you're a fan of the show and want Stranger Things art/characters on cards.
The upcoming Universes Beyond Secret Lair that was mentioned earlier in the week is a collaboration with Netflix.
Gavin Verhey also talks about the changes being done to UB Secret Lairs (in-universe reprints, etc). No mention of when it or the super drop goes on sale (Gavin makes mention of D&D in his video being a big part of Stranger Things, so probably soon to coincide with AFR).
Not including TWD cards is quite odd here, as if they are given completely new art and wording would have no connection to the IP, so I doubt licensing would have a play in not redoing them.
You'd be surprised how weird licensing can be. I play one gacha game where they can't even upgrade a character because the licensing only included what was initially agreed on. It likely has some stipulation to not be included in boosters or something and they'd have to license the TWD later if they want to do do, which would cost more money every time they want to do so.
This is part of the reason the UB Reserved List is a likely thing even with this solution.
They've stated explicitly (or at least MaRo has) that the TWD cards can be printed as in-universe equivalents. Why they are not included in this update is unclear and quite a shame.
Edit: not to mention that they generally consider the original reserved list a big (if not their biggest) mistake.
They're probably grandfathered into something (promissory estoppel, reserved list, etc).
However, the article says that they won't apply this particular plan to the Walking Dead cards, so maybe they'll still be reprinted as in-universe cards. Just not as outlined in the article.
Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar not having a mana cost kind of makes sense, there's probably not enough room for one. And it's a clever solution to that problem.
Would be interesting if we can get confirmation that these cards were real
Spirit of the Night. When I was starting out, I loved big big creatures but black was my go-to color. This ended up with me doing some sort of shenanigan to get them out a little bit quicker, like playing multiple rituals out or reanimating them. While cards like Avatar of Woe or Scion of Darkness are some of my faves, Spirit is my favorite. If anything, it just has a weird but creepy/cool art.
The exception to this being the science fiction shocklands that Unfinity will have. Maybe they'll be reprints and black border, maybe they'll be new and silver.
This enchantment will slow down your adventuring party, much to your DM's frustration.

Additionally, an UB Secret Lair will be in an upcoming super drop, which should be soon.
Seems good/10
edit: English name is probably Hearth & Home or something, Abode & Hearth doesn't really sound like anything
With as much etched foils as they're putting in these packs, I'm hoping they're better than what Strixhaven had.
Love em, love the meme, love the joke they played on Hard Drive, they're unique. 10/10
