Over the past week or so, Wizards of the Coast has slowly been revealing its next major Secret Lair drop, this time a full deck focused squarely on Commander. Dubbed "20 Ways To Win," the deck is all about finding, well, unique and interesting ways to win the game, whether it be collecting Treasure tokens, courtesy of Revel in Riches, or amassing the most gate lands to win with Maze's End.
The deck features Go-Shintai of Life's Origin as its Commander, and its WUBRG color identity opens up so much for players to take advantage of to win the game in wacky and unexpected ways. Though, if you really want to just turn cards sideways and grind out the victory in your pod, this deck still comes equipped with plenty of powerful creatures that ultimately synergize with what the deck is trying to accomplish.
The amount of times I've lost to Gatebreaker Ram and Maze's End is not even funny, you guys.
The upcoming deck will also feature some incredible new Tanuki art, thanks to a handful of talented artists. The eight of the cards play into the theming of the deck, each one ending in some sort of Win Con, from Approach of the Second Sun to Simic Ascendancy, while the commander Go-Shintai of Life's Origin is also getting the treatment. And of course, the unofficial mascot of the Commander format, Sol Ring features Tanuki's all distracted by a shiny.
Many of the reprints have also received some updated formatting since their last time being reprinted, and as a result have been updated with the Secret Lair symbol. Additionally, Wizards will be noting that with a Planeswalker symbol stamp in the bottom-left corner of the card next to the set and set number on the rest of the deck's reprints to mark them differently from their original printings.
Secret Lair Commander: 20 Ways To Win will run $149.99 on the Secret Lair website, with the sale starting on December 2nd at 9am PT/12pm ET. Like all Secret Lair drops recently, Wizards does state that this product is only available in limited quantities, so expect queues and the possibility of sitting in that queue only to come away Tanuki-less as supplies will run out.
Ta, Ryperior74.
