    WOTC doesn’t care that limited stock means less players get to use the cards. A dollar from a scalper is worth the same as a dollar from a player to them, and the FOMO just adds more fuel to the fire. I’m seriously dreading the Final Fantasy Secret Lairs next year if they’re released under this system. (But then again if they sell out instantly that’s less money for me to spend lol)

    I know they have business reasons for doing the limited print run, but the benefits of print-to-demand are very real. I think an interesting compromise would be to make the foil versions limited, and the standard print-to-demand. That would serve to make the foils more exclusive, which was the original intent of "premium versions", while also not locking people out for not taking a morning off work to refresh-camp a product page.

  • @Ashtar2594
    @Ashtar2594 25 дней назад +9

    With the new system, me and my boyfriend have to pay close attention to upcoming secret lair news so that we don't miss out on things we want. We do set aside time on the first hour they go live to make sure we get what we want. But the most important part of our process is taking a deep breath, and really looking at what's being offered. We had so much fun opening the fallout collector packs that we were sort of riding that high into these secret lairs and wanted to get all of the fallout ones. But when I took a second to really look objectively, I found I had no interest in the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. secret lair. There's not a reason I needed to have those cards in the fallout art style. And instead, I found I really liked the diabolical diorama and the tarot card art even if they weren't incredibly "valuable."
    So I do agree with you. This system is horrible. Because while I can take a minute to soothe my feelings of FOMO and make decisions based off of what I truly want, not everyone else can. Although I'm doing fine getting the lairs I want, I much preferred the previous system.
    The thing I've despised the most about the new system is the scalping community and how it was impacted by the Angels deck. I really took my time deciding if I wanted the Angels deck. And decided to go ahead and order it. A few days later it was sold out. As I anxiously waited for my new deck with excitement, I saw SO MANY VIDEOS talking about how terrible the deck was, how it would need SO MANY upgrades. And I found that discouraging. When it finally arrived, I had an absolute blast playing it. I loved the art and love the deck. Well I guess everyone changed their minds because suddenly Angels was in hot demand. And the deck is still crazy high in the second hand market.
    Because of the unexpected turn around of the Angels deck, I see many secret lairs being panick-bought by resellers who missed the bag by not taking Angels seriously. And all it's doing is keeping people who want lairs out of their hands, but the lairs aren't ever going to have to resell power that angels has. So there's a weird stand off in the second hand market of scalpers trying their luck to make absurd profit, and normal people not getting to enjoy these cards

  • @kennyc002
    @kennyc002 26 дней назад +7

    This will only get worse. By the time the Final Fantasy secret lair drops it'll require you to camp the website for even a shot at the secret lairs as more and more scalpers catch wind and start botting the website. The goal is to eventually concentrate fomo to the point where people can only choose to buy instantly or miss, with no time to deliberate. It'll be worse than the 1-day drop when secret lairs first started.

    As a lover of the Fallout universe and MTG for me it was less about the financial value than the art. I kept checking the website and once it was up I purchased the one bundle for every Fallout Card. It might have been an impulsive buy, considering I didn't take a proper look at the artwork. But since it was announced that there'll be 3 Sets, I was more surprised by the fact that there are even more secret lairs than the ones with Fallout Art. I kept enough money aside to purchase this bundle of three sets and I'm really excited to receive it in may! I must agree with the prof, that it's a less enjoyable way of purchasing secret lairs and as someone who struggles a lot mentally under these kinds of market mechanisms and pressure, I too am not sure on how I think about the future of secret lairs. Thank you for the great video as always, prof! 😊

      As someone who plays a lot of magic every week and watches magic content creators, I had no idea what these secret lairs are going to be, when they would be sold, or that it wasn't print to demand anymore. If you can't handle seeing a product and being unable to pass it up, I'd recommend avoiding learning about these products altogether - it really isn't as had as you'd think it is in this environment. I think I saw the bojuka bog art and one other art like a month ago and besides that I had no idea when these secret lairs were going to drop or what was going to be in them. You need to take more personal responsibility about where your money goes and not blame mental struggle under market pressure.

    My boyfriend’s first CEDH deck was Inalla, and that’s still his favorite deck. He bought the precon and has upgraded it over the years and continues to upgrade it. He has put so much work and love (and money lol) into making that deck amazing and perfect for him. We were out for dinner on our first vacation together when they announced it, and he was already so happy and excited but that announcement made the night even more wonderful. He’d been waiting for an Inalla reprint for a long time. I knew in that moment that I had to get this foil set for him. His package arrived this past Friday, a day early from what the tracking said, and the look on his face was priceless. So, while it might not be financially worth it, it was worth every penny and more just to see him filled with that much joy. ☺️💞

    I was pretty excited for the Cai drop. Added it to my cart and was waiting for payday. Gone by then. Sapped any excitement or interest in future drops immediately.

    I got all of the ones that sold out before they sold out. I didn't buy them as soon as they went on sale, but I did pick them up the first day. Hopefully, they will continue to fine tune the process and increase the supply on the next batch of Secret Lairs.

    @russelldouglass9501 25 дней назад

    I didn't realise the secret lair this time was a limited release. So while I was figuring out what I wanted to buy and how much to spend, they all got sold out. So I agree with your take on this failure of an outcome for the secret lair and how it was handled.

    I like some of it. I’ve already received my SLD I ordered on the day. I wish your videos came out before the day so I could make better decisions-I guess it’s not possible. Now I have to do my own research but such is life.

    I only ordered the Rovinia Cai secret lair since the art is insane, but i also know that’s partially because i literally logged in during my lunch break at work the second it went live to order it. While i like getting secret lairs sooner, id much rather go back to print to demand so everyone could get the secret lairs they wanted

  • @Beowulfgang_Amadeus
    @Beowulfgang_Amadeus 25 дней назад

    I didn't know the Tarot secret lair was even available yet I just thought this super drop was all the fallout cards. I really wanted 3/4 cards in that tarot style they're gorgeous.

  • @kabobawsome
    @kabobawsome 26 дней назад +1

    Love that all of the ones I would have bought are sold out well before I even knew they existed. I'd have bought Points of Interest, and the Artist Series: Rovina Cai.
    What a great move, Wizards, moving from print on demand to standard stock, now I just will never end up buying another Secret Lair ever again. If I wanted to, I won't even be able to. Just driving me towards making proxy versions of these cards even harder.

    I did manage to buy 4 non-foil bundles, but that was more to have them to trade or sell to friends in case they wanted to mull it over or if FOMO hit them. Only ones I wanted was the Fallout lairs, because Vault Boy is iconic

  • @nicholasbettis5527
    @nicholasbettis5527 26 дней назад +1

    I had the opportunity to buy all of the secret lairs. I didn't because there were no good "wow" have to buy packages and no value. I really loved the Rovina Cai art, but by the time I went back after weighing the need for the cards it was sold out. Which is fine. I don't need two more Arcane signets, no matter how pretty they are.
    (For those of you don't know, the mystery SL card is an alternate art Arcane Signet.)

    Having just made an Inalla deck within the last 6 months, I was stoked to see her get a reprint with this brighter, stylized artwork. Given print variation, I figured at some point I'd be able to find a copy of the 2017 version that was bright enough to where I could see everything going on in the artwork, alas, every copy I've found to this day is just as dark as the last. I of course was late to the party and missed the Rovina Cai sale as so many others did. Naturally, I go on TCG player and find that the normal printing is selling for $100 USD while the foil versions are selling for $125 USD. Nothing has taken the wind from my sails faster...

    Picked up diabolic diorama and stax secret lairs. Was honestly expecting everything to be sold out by the time i decided to pick something up,(was about 3 days after release) maybe they upped the printed quantities?
    Would prefer they be print to demand so everyone who wants em can get em.

  • @RyansTrashCan
    @RyansTrashCan 25 дней назад +1

    First time secret lair buyer here, I was checking the site everyday for this drop just cause I wanted any and all Fallout cards, because everything MTG Fallout is sold out or extremely expensive.. I did secure them the morning they dropped, but dang, I low key hated that stress just to secure some cardboard.

  • @samuelbemis8304
    @samuelbemis8304 24 дня назад

    my partner picked up a couple on the monday they released while i was at work, I think the change is /fine/ though it was nicer being able to think on it more before grabbing, luckily it was pretty obvious (at least this time) as we buy by art styles instead of value

  • @Tayahmaryanne
    @Tayahmaryanne 25 дней назад

    So I did get the Inalla one because I love the art style, and because so far, secret lair arcane signets seem to hold value despite the availability of a basic version. I don’t hate the new strategy but I’m also someone who can check them out the day they release and am invested enough in the game/market to generally know what the value may be. I buy about one lair from every 1.5 drop events, picking my purchases based on a mix of my own appreciation of the art and trying to snag value cards. I also buy on behalf of my playgroup to save on shipping. I regret missing the original cats drop (I picked Bitterblossom from that batch) but otherwise I enjoy the product.

    I actually ordered one of the non sold out packs with the weird artworks for Fiend Artisan and Aura Shards (rest is bonus). Either using them or selling them. None of the fallout packs had any cards I wanted to use and they sold out so fast.

  • @darthkoo5000

    I got up to purchase the secret lairs right when they went on sale, but I got sidetracked and forgot, but I remembered in the evening and was able to order them all no problem. I do wish these were print to demand though, people want the cards, just print enough of them for everyone who wants them.

    @BroncosDaBomb19 26 дней назад +2

    Never got a Secret Lair before the change and definitely not getting one after. It’ll be gone before I even make the decision to get it. People don’t care about their Secret Lair taking a long time to ship if they’re actually able to purchase it without worrying it’ll be sold out.

    i actually am glad that Diabolical Dioramas wasnt sold out on this one. I love puppetry and the artworks are great - and i just happen to have a Karador deck, which is also one of my beloved favorites.
    but i guess i just lucked out. the new limited stock policy just sucks and seems to serve only wizards and greedy scalpers

  • @michaellavella2377
    @michaellavella2377 25 дней назад

    I got the three artist drops. I loved the tarot and fairies art so got them for art value (which I put at an A+} not financial. Then I added the diorama drop because it got me over the free shipping and only cost 10 bucks when you took away the cost of shipping from it.
    I agree the limited production is a bad thing. As far as value, I never really care about the finance side. To me secret lair drops are chances to get pieces of very cool art to play with. If I love the art and use the cards I'll get it every time.

    I fortunately work from home so I was able to snag the fallout bundle, HOWEVER I had to put it on my credit cards when I didn't want to because I knew it was going to sell out immediately instead of waiting until now when it's not a bills heavy payday.

  • @JaysonPrime
    @JaysonPrime 25 дней назад

    I got the bundle of the Fallout secret lairs in foil for the free shipping. I like to build decks with constraints, so the Fallout decks will ONLY contain cards with Fallout art. I am excited to add these cards to my fallout commanders and I plan on keeping them for pod-play. They're fun to play with each other, just like the Warhammer decks were.
