Listen "Episode 39: Secret Lair Debacles"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of The Commanders Pod, we dive into the frustrating world of Secret Lair drops and the chaos they bring. That doesn't do what you think it does, kicks things off with a deep dive into a sticky rules interaction, where trying to kill a creature with a triggered ability on the stack won’t work quite the way you think! But the real meat of the episode comes later when we talk about the ongoing issues with Secret Lair drops, from the infamous Marvel SL fiasco to the early days of Mythic Edition and the 30th Anniversary Countdown.
We break down the frustration of queue errors, cart issues, and the recent revelation that a cheat allowed users to bypass the whole system. What started as a cool way to get limited-edition cards has turned into a nightmare for collectors, and we’re asking: What should Wizards of the Coast do to fix this broken system?
Join us for a passionate discussion of customer service, botched releases, and how Secret Lair could evolve—or if it’s even worth trying to fix at all!
