On November 30th, Secret Lair will feature a limited-time collection ofBob Ross Secret Lair-only basic lands. Each collection includes two of each basic land type: forest, island, plains, swamp, and mountain. All ten cards have different art, and this collection will come both in foil and in non-foil. Although the collection will not be officially priced on the website until November 25th, TGC fans can expect to pay anywhere from $20 to $30 for the non-foils and $30 to $50 for the foil set. Pre-orders will end December 14th, 2020.
This Bob Ross set will celebrate the first year of Secret Lair, and will beMagic’s first Secret-versary. It started back inNovember of 2019 with seven sets of Secret Lairsreleased every week for the holiday season. Secret Lairs collections are only available for a limited time, so if Magic players want to grab one for themselves, they’ll need to pick one of the last week of November. Since old Secret Lairs are going for hundreds of dollars on eBay and other resale sites, fans should attempt to get one while they are still live on Secret Lair’s website.
Magic: The Gatheringhas released a ton of very collectible items over the last year, and it will go on with the Bob Ross Secret Lair and then with thecollectible Kaladesh Remasterthat will be available in December. It’s put a myriad of beautiful cards into the world ofMagic.
But at the same time, the massive amount of online-exclusives has been difficult to keep up with. The limited edition Secret Lairs can be a strain on wallets, and the online-only setup is difficult for gaming stores around the globe to get products. With COVID cutting down on paperMagictournaments already andmovingMagictournaments to online places likeMagic Arena, having online-only sets may be the death of many card stores that rely on paperMagicto make their money.
