Summary
The Secret Lair Summer 2024 Superdrop is one of many Secret Lairs forMagic: The Gathering. This particular drop features exclusively reprints, with no original cards included. For the most part, they are simply cards with new art, but in the case of a few, cards are given new names as a reskin of pre-existing ones.
The value of the Secret Lairs in the Summer 2024 Superdrop varies. While in some cases, the value of the cards included in a drop are lower than it would be from buying the cards normally, in many others, the Secret Lair printing often is the most expensive version of the card due to its exclusivity.
The value of each Secret Lair is determined using the cheapest market price for the card listed onTCGPlayer.com
Sol Ring
Thespian’s Stage
Secret Lair x Hatsune Miku: Digital Sensation is the second drop in the collaboration with Hatsune Miku for a drop every season of the year. Unfortunately, value-wise, it’s the weakest of the lot by a pretty wide margin. Both the nonfoil and foil versions cost more than it would be to buy regular versions of the cards. However, due to the popularity of Hatsune Miku, it is likely that these printings will more than make up the value on the secondary market.
All the cards included in this Secret Lair are very playable, with Chord of Calling, Sol Ring, and Thespian’s Stage all seeing play in multiple formats. The other cards are also perfectly playable, and if you ever wanted Hatsune Miku to be your commander, now you canwith the five color Miku, Child of Song. Diabolic Tutor makes for an excellent tutor as well, even if it’s on the weaker side, any tutor is better than no tutor at all.
Whispersilk Cloak
Haystack
With the exception of the bonus card Haystack, Secret Lair x Assassin’s Creed: Da Vinci’s Designsonly include Equipment spells. On the nonfoil side of things, it’s actually the most valuable drop of the set, but since the foil versions have had accessible reprints, it’s one of the lowest when it comes to foil versions.
All of the Equipment cards included are solid cards, with all of them impactful once they’re put onto a creature. They give protection along with powerful keyword abilities to make them threats both attacking and blocking. Notably, also with the exception of Haystack, all the cards included in this Secret Lair can be played in a Leonardo da Vinci (from the Assassin’s Creed Universes Beyond set) Commander deck and work well as a part of that deck.
Howl of the Night Pack
Second Harvest
NOT A WOLF (Tovolar, Dire Overlord) // KING OF WOLVES (Tovolar, the Midnight Scourge)
WolfRegular Human Guy Token
Immerwolf
Featuring: Not A Wolf is inspired by an account of the same name in which a wolf is pretending to be a human. As such, the entire Secret Lairis built around Wolves, and all the cards can be used in a single deck, with NOT A WOLF being able to be used as a commander for the cards purchased. Many of the foil reprints are the first time they’ve been reprinted in years, causing the value of the foil version to be rather high.
Werewolves are a very popular strategy for many Commander players, giving extra value to the drop, since they’re all great cards for a Werewolf Commander deck. All the cards are playable in multiple formats at a casual level, making it one of the best drops for bringing a theme together.
Moldervine Reclamation
Prossh, Skyraider of Kher
Prints of Darkness is another Secret Lair drop that includes only playable cards for the commander that’s included with it. In this case, it’sProssh, Skyraider of Kher which cares about sacrificing creatures, something every card in the drop benefits from. With how rare the foil versions are for many of the cards, it drives the value up for foil version of this drop. In Dictate of Erebos' case, it’s the first non-List reprint which is where more of the nonfoil value comes from.
Although there are only five cards in Prints of Darkness, they’re all very strong effect-wise and played in multiple decks, primarily Commander ones. Even if you’re not using them in Prossh itself, they’re very playable under different commanders.
Good Fortune Unicorn
Coat of Arms
Featuring: Julie Bell, as the name might imply, exclusively features artwork by the titular artist. Julie Bell had never done art for Magic prior, and this drop is both visually stunning and valuable when it comes to nonfoil printings. The cards are both powerful and popular, with many of the foils being reprinted in foil for the first time in years. Without the foiling, Coat of Arms is the only card that holds a lot of value.
All of the cards included are solid power-wise and with the exception of Shivan Dragon, all see play in multiple decks. Notably, Coat of Arms is the best of the lot, best played in deckswhere creatures all share the same type.
Basim, Master Assassin (Ramses, Assassin Lord)
Edward, Jackdaw Captain (Admiral Beckett Brass)
Secret Lair x Assassin’s Creed: Lethal Legends is a Secret Lair drop that puts an Assassin’s Creed paint job over existing cards. While they all have unique names, they are still just reskins of pre-existing cards rather than mechanically unique ones (though many characters featured here have cards in the Assassin’s Creed set proper). The majority of the value comes from Najeela, whose only regular foil printing is worth a ton.
All of the cards included are rather popular Commanders on top of being popular Assassin’s Creed characters, two traits that will help drive the value up.Najeela especially is relevant as she is a very popular cEDH commander, while the rest are used often in more casual games of Commander.
