Prof, I would love to see a video of Magic's "perfect customer", who buys literally every Magic product as it comes out over the course of 2024 and then put up a grand total at the end of the calendar year. The "perfect customer" would buy every secret lair, all Commander decks, a pre-release kit, a bundle, a play booster box, and a collector booster box for every set in Magic over the course of one year. Then, don't forget to add a box of each set for Arena for 2024 as well. Starter decks, Game Night 3? kits, + any other Magic product I'm forgetting, like another random reboot of another set. It'd be hilarious to see what Magic profits pushed to the absolute max would be.

@wedgearyxsaber 3 месяца назад

@Volkbrecht 3 месяца назад

I'm fairly certain WotC intentionally moved away from the idea of people keeping up with their release schedule. They probably know their average customers well enough to know how to milk us best. I know that I will splash out without remorse if a product hits my sweet spot, but I have long since given up on being a completionist.

Screw the new Secret Lair System. Sheldon’s spellbook was the last Secret Lair I bought and I will definitely not buy a Secret Lair that is tied to the “Sold Out” model. They are already FOMO products. I used to love Secret Lair, but they find a way to ruin just about anything.

@Volkbrecht 3 месяца назад

To me, the availability is too short to even trigger FOMO. If there isn't enough time for me to come home from work, look at the product and think about if I want to buy it, then this product is really not for me. It's for the people who have the time to arrange their days so they can be ready to buy it.

Between the artificial scarcity and the continual decline in value, I think I'm more or less done buying Secret Lairs. There's more than enough cool cards being printed in Magic's main sets, and more than enough main sets being printed to take up most of my entertainment budget on their own.

@Worm.emergency 3 месяца назад

@remoryskye5991 3 месяца назад

That combined with the increased shipping cost. If you don't want to buy over $100 worth of product for free shipping then shipping is now $11. I don't have the data but that seems MUCH higher than before. So if you are ever considering a $30 secret lair, might want to think of it as $40~ which makes a big difference.

The print to demand style from before is in every way better than the limited supply run version we have now. I did cave and buy both Hatsune Miku Secret Lairs as she's a top 3 character for me personally and vocaloid was a major part of my childhood growing up.

@Volkbrecht 3 месяца назад

Better for us customers, for sure. But from WotCs point of view it's probably more profitable to be able to fix production slots and logistics a long time ahead of release. I wouldn't be surprised if a few years down the road they'll start to repeat the highly successful ones.

@Starman_Dx 3 месяца назад

@scraggle_grackle 3 месяца назад

I despise the FOMO and much of what is going on of late with Magic. I came back to the game only fairly recently, having quit in the early oughts, and started playing Commander because I liked the casual and creative aspects, but it didn't take long to be driven away from magic again, and after Caverns of Ixalan I've not bought anything more again, because I'm so severely disappointed with how Wizards treats it's employees and customers. I loved magic, having grown up playing the game and last time I was playing before I stepped away, I was playing block format. Now, I've slowly remembered why I quit so long ago, and I think the company's behavior really is beyond the pale right now. Part of what had brought me back in the first place was discovering your channel. It rekindled the sense of enjoyment and fun that I used to have, and despite not really playing or buying magic right now, I and my partner (who could care less about the game) still watch all your videos and enjoy everything that you release. You are such a positive and fun channel. Congratulations on your well deserved 1M subscribers, professor. That said, I just bought the Julie Bell secret lair. I love her art and it wasn't for the utility of the cards. I have her art cards from the 90's. I have hyborian gates cards. Her and Boris' art is iconic. I feel like it probably would be sold out by now if people realized who she is, because while I think, a lot of people don't recognize her name, almost everyone will recognize some of her work; ever seen the cover art for Wolfenstein 3D, Splatterhouse 3, Valis IV and many other retro game titles? Some of these products are really great and hard to resist, and I failed to resist this one. It's been quite a few months since I've actually been interested or wanted to buy anything from WotC. I've resisted all the new and powerful lures of MH3 and I haven't bought any singles since Ravnica Remastered. I probably won't even have a deck to put any of these cards into, but it just goes to show that they really know how to do things right in some ways, if only it didn't feel like such a bad relationship so much of the time.

I've bought a few Secret Lairs, now. I picked up the Creepshow lair from 2023 (It's my favorite movie, ever) for the nostalgic value. My favorite movie tends to get overlooked in the realm of horror, and I want to support any form of Creepshow that I can. I also ended up grabbing both (so far) Miku lairs for my Girlfriend. Last drop and this drop. Miku is one of her favorite things ever, so it was a no-brainer for me to grab them. I adore Secret Lairs. They have a unique artstyle and quirky graphics that make me smile when I see them. This new FOMO method is pathetic, though. I 100% agree with everything you said about it being anti-consumer, and especially with the reprint values being so low, it's not like WotC is going to hemorrhage money if they let these be print-to-demand.

I only bought the two Assassin's Creed ones (Foil) because for the Alt-Art ones I already own the In Universe/Regular cards but I'm building an Assassin deck which will have a good chunk of the new AC cards and some of the old Assassins were already going in it (Like Ramses) so I figured "Eh why not" on having some more AC flavored versions. The second AC set was just another way for me to get another Darksteel Plate, Whispersilk Cloak and Blade of Selves which look cool (to me) as well as the Flail and Deathrender. I've never bought a Secret Lair based on a hypothetical resale value, I've only bought a few and it is strictly based on cards I will use and if I like the art (As well as overall price). Though I bought Sheldon's Spellbook to support a good cause.

@ajaxender12 3 месяца назад

That Assassin's Creed equipment Lair illuminates the absurdity of WotC's distribution of cards, but potentially also a nice way forward that would tie in particularly well with this new Foundations thing they're trying. I'd buy that set of equipment cards, if I could (I bought a Deathrender today, in fact). I'd love for WotC to sell, or even better for LGSs to stock small sets of Commander staples; cards that are useful and ubiquitous for many colors and strategies (without needing to include particularly expensive bombs, both for price considerations but also to avoid encouraging homogenization any more than they already do). No way in hell am I buying that Lair because indeed, those cards are unreadable and while I like the style in a vacuum, it makes them entirely indistinct from each other.

I never knew what to think about secret lairs because they came out after I stopped playing, I'm kind of fine with missing them, they could be a product that I would really like, a special version of staples or cards worth having but they just feel so icky and beyond everything, the only thing keeping paper magic alive is your LGS and I don't like them being cut out. They deserve better support from Hasbro for dealing with their trash like MkM for instance.

i really like secret lairs, most aren't for me but the ones that are have really brightened my collection. i don't mind the quantity, because that way there is more chance that one of them is for me, or for someone else. i usually don't buy entire lairs, just individual cards that i like. thank you for helping me in my enjoyment by regularly posting a clear visual representation of every new release, you usually help me find some that i missed in spoiler reveals in other places online.

Some of those look kinda cool. I'll buy a bunch of proxies of each!

Bought all of the Assassins Creed secret lairs as my first ever secret rare purchase. I love the games and hope to fill a binder with all of the cards from the set, figured this would be a good start :)

I only have bought like 4 seceret lairs, mostly due to the factor on me loving either the theme of the lair that catches my interest. or if it featured a artist I follow on twitter that I enjoyed. Like i bought the godzilla secret lair, the bob ross lair since I grew up loving his show, forgot the other two i bought. But i have loved them all so far equally. I am highly impressed that I haven't gone for after every set yet and only ones that catch my eye if I love the art style or artist. Other than those two factor I haven't gone crazy spending on them which I'm proud of.

Secret Lairs are cool for the art. Recently bought all the amazing art from the Faeries Secret Lair, at a big premium (ouch). Yes, I had the cards in my commander deck, and they are fairly cheap in standard print - but the art can completely change how you enjoy the game or express yourself (as long as you have the premium money to spend, but if you don't just proxy them like a smart person tbh). This isn't just with Magic, but with everything in life. It sucks that it's all tied to "consumerism" and premium money, but that's everything in capitalism. We just kinda fundamentally enjoy art and expressing ourselves through the small things. I also recently got a new pair of shoes (for the looks), a hoodie from a manga I enjoy, and an art print for my living room. Lucky I get to spend part of my income on nonsense, but the nonsense is enjoyable.

Foiled Elves of Deep Shadow. That art is STUNNING.

When I buy secret lair..Its always about art or something I like. I was able to get the hatsune Miku cards which is great because Im a Hatsune miku fan. I HATE fomo..and I HATE what wizards did to secret lair..because sometimes I don't want to just buy my cards right away..I want to think he....do I need this right now

I actually kinda sad about what WotC is doing with secret lairs. I remember a time where i could save up money and buy some of these without having to worry about a queue system or people boting the system. I wish WotC would fix this issue by allowing consumers to buy without the queue and help fans enjoy what they want. Its better for the company and would make more profits

The artwork and the fact that I didn't already have most of the cards sold it for me this time but only other one I've purchased has been the junji ito secret lair. Love the art and the cards in that lair!

@EMTgamer 3 месяца назад

To answer your question - never bought a secret lair. There was one I was excited about, but it sold out before I got off work that day. It was themed well, had great art, and was perfect for my wifes commander deck as it featured her commander in a really nice art style. Despite the value being low and it not being worth it money wise, it was going to be a nice gift with some unique cards, but didn't even get to be that because it was shortly after they changed from the print to order format.
