![]() ![]() Many of the Secret Lairs released early this year were a way for Magic to feature Japanese art, a way to ensure their representation as Magic returned to the once-problematic plane inspired by Japan. This series invited Japanese artists to showcase a new style and help set the tone for Neon Dynasty’s return to Kamigawa. But for now at least, I hope this can be a bit of a moment of zen amongst that chaos. For many it may feel like both depending on the time of day. For some it feels like a year full of new beginnings and potential for a brighter future. Maybe you’ll learn something new, or maybe you’ll just enjoy my commentary going through the wide range of artworks.Ģ022 has been a strange year for many of us. So, beginning today, and concluding tomorrow, I’ll be looking at every Secret Lair Drop from 2022 (based on card copyright dates) and talking about what I love about every single one of them. For me, Secret Lair is a beautiful product line and exemplifies Wizards dedication to building a bigger community and making the game more accessible. While there’s a time for criticism and discussing what went wrong, I want to talk about the positives and what went right. Our theme this week is reflection on the year that was. And while I can admit that the number is definitely too high, I think my preference is probably for more than most would be happy with. It’s probably an understatement to say that the incredible number of Secret Lair Drops this year, almost 60 and counting, has been a major contributing factor to the burnout that consumers have been experiencing. But if I did, you could bet I would have definitely bought a few, and I would have liked to have bought every single one, which at this time includes 247 cards. ![]() I didn’t buy a single Secret Lair Drop in 2022, because I don’t play tabletop Magic the Gathering anymore. ![]()
