A few days ago, seven prolific members of the Magic community announced that they had received invitations to reveal cards from a Secret Lair Commander Deck. With absolutely no idea what those cards could be, they finally revealed them on Wednesday, April 9th. What were those cards, and what could they reveal about the deck? At the time of writing the deck isn't fully revealed yet. So, let's look into what these streamers received within the "Everyone's Invited" Secret Lair Commander deck!

TaaliaVess's Reveal

According to sources on social media, streamer TaaliaVess received a copy of Morophon, the BoundlessMorophon, the Boundless. Morophon seems to be the commander of this deck. It also implies that the deck is a Kindred-matters deck.

ZBexx's Reveal

Meanwhile, ZBexx received another card from "Everyone's Invited". This time, it was a copy of Sol RingSol Ring. This doesn't tell us a ton about the contents of the deck, since most preconstructed decks contain a Sol Ring anyway. However, the card is stunning and its art is featured on the advertisement on the Secret Lair website.

Voxy's Reveal

Next, we look at Voxy's stream, where she revealed a copy of Avenger of ZendikarAvenger of Zendikar. Because Plants are such a niche creature type, this implies that "Everyone's Invited" probably features a very broad Kindred-matters theme. At this point, things are getting interesting for sure.

Amazonian's Reveal

We next turn our attention to Amazonian's stream, where she revealed a copy of Taurean MaulerTaurean Mauler. A creature with changeling like Morophon, Taurean Mauler may mean that multiple cards will also cover many of the creature types buffed by the deck's cards.

ManaCurves' Reveal

Streamer ManaCurves also revealed a card from "Everyone's Invited"! The card they revealed was BitterblossomBitterblossom, a kindred card for Faerie decks. This shows us that kindred spells will show up in the deck, though the extent is currently unknown. However, if this is indeed a kindred-kindred deck, one could imagine there may be a fair few of them therein.

CovertGoBlue's Reveal

After this, we must look to CovertGoBlue, who, according to sources, revealed a copy of Raise the PalisadeRaise the Palisade. This card, previously unreprinted since its initial printing in Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-Earth, is also a kindred-matters card. It goes especially well with creatures with changeling. This tells us that the deck will most likely have payoffs for running them.

Anna Margaret's Reveal

Finally, we have Anna Margaret's reveal on BlueSky. She revealed a copy of Tendershoot DryadTendershoot Dryad, a card that historically pumps Saprolings. Luckily, changeling creatures are also Saprolings! This is one of many presumed payoffs in "Everyone's Invited".

What Have We Learned About This Secret Lair?

"Everyone's Invited" appears to be a deck that cares not just about one creature type, but many. The deck features multiple cards that provide many creature types as well as many payoffs for having multiple creature types. Because Commander decks from Secret Lair tend to have alternate art for their intended commanders, Morophon appears to lead the deck.

When will we find out more? We don't have a launch date yet, but the answer is "probably soon"! Keep your eyes peeled for more information as it becomes available.
