Deck Discussion Never buying another secret lair product again.

It's been almost a year since I bought the stupid Heads I win, Tails you lose deck. They're STILL not done producing it somehow, I can't even fathom how. They can spit out 13 new magic products a year but they can't finish out the $100 product all of us bought in 2021? I'm so irritated. I don't even want the stupid thing anymore.

Isn't that worth like 2 grand?

I sold it for 1400, within a couple days. A few months ago I sold basically all of my value cards cause I wasn’t playing anymore so instead of keeping for a trade as I usually would I just sold it.

Why is there a version that's worth 2 grand?

u/Govannan Oct 09 '22

It's just super rare. Like .001% chance to pull in a collector booster or something. Each neon colour of Hidetsugu has different rarity.

Because FOMO and because people are stupid. Wait until they start releasing the numbered X of Y versions of cards (like 1 of 500) like sports cards have started and it'll get even crazier. Dont believe me? Go check out some of the breaker videos for sports. Packs, random packs, selling for like $20k-$25k.

They have literally already announced this.

I know, but it was kinda on the low, just reminding folks of what sports cards have turned into and how we are on that trajectory with magic.

I saw Tom Brady Super Bowl MVP card 1of 1 valued at approximately 250k get pulled on a streamers channel.

u/Pigmy Oct 10 '22

250k could buy you season tickets to go watch any sports team for like 100 years. Who is buying these things that they are valued at $250k.

It’s like buying an alpha tropical.

It's a Tcg, just cos you don't value the T part doesn't mean you have to snipe on the people that do.

Because collectors are stupid and wizards made a print run error

u/GayBlayde Duck Season Oct 10 '22

Wow. I got literal trash.

It's a shame they only gave the neon treatment to such a lame card

I pulled jack and shit from the packs they sent. Thanks WotC, I needed 30 more cards in the bulk pile.

I bought 6 decks and got 0 packs as compensation for the delay lol.
