As someone who is constantly debating whether to get the foil or non-foil versions of lairs, what would you recommend? I usually tend to get the non-foil versions as I am always scared of the WOTC foil bend that always happens with the foils but I'm wondering where you stand on this, as far as secret lairs are concerned. Thanks!
@MTGMetrics2 сағат бұрын
For personal use I typically get non-foils unless I think the art would really benefit from foiling

is the foil secret lairs usually more expensive than the non-foil secret lairs? I am wondering which one to get for this.
@MTGMetrics7 сағат бұрын
Pricing is $29.99 for non-foil and $39.99 for foils (sometimes outside IPs will increase both by $10).
@MyLibertyTV23 сағат бұрын
If you want to play with them, just run the regular version of the card in your deck like a helper card and when they come onto the battlefield use the secret lair card in a clear sleeve.

Jesper Ejsing being in regular frame could cost it another point. I really think they need to stop overdoing the same cards, namely llanowar elves, solemn simulacrum, which are getting lost in the reprint abyss. Meanwhile there’s a thousand highly playable cards that would love a nice secret lair.

Certainly feels like they rotate through the same cards a lot but I believe Jesper picked his. Unsure how the Featuring lairs work.

Love his art but at the rate they are reprinting Deflecting Swat I would consider it no more than a $20 card... so this lair is, overall, a fail in terms of value.
@MTGMetricsКүн бұрын
Wotc can obv dump any card into the dirt if they like but we've only got the CMM reprint aside this so I think it's decently safe
@zonimiКүн бұрын
@@MTGMetrics Maybe... but that's what I thought about Concordant Crossroads. Any time they put a single "value card" into a lair it makes me nervous. They've done this multiple times - without some sort of reprint policy it is a huge risk to put real money into something like this.
