On Monday, April 28th, Wizards of the Coast announced "The Ultimate Pencil Superdrop," a drop series that will grace the Secret Lair drop store starting May 12th. According to the announcement, every order comes with a free pencil. There are five drops in total, with a caveat that two drops have a "raised foil" treatment option. The kicker for those raised foil drops is that they cost $99.99. This is enough to be lofty but not enough to qualify for free shipping. Nevertheless, here are the contents of each drop in The Ultimate Pencil Superdrop.

Secret Lair x KEXP: You Are Not Alone

The lore behind KEXP is that it's a real, independent radio station based in Seattle, Washington. They've collaborated with Wizards of the Coast for two Secret Lair drops in this superdrop: this one, and the one following it in this article. You Are Not Alone is a drop that's themed after group hug-style cards that help the entire table accelerate their game plans.

This drop is listed to sell for $29.99 in nonfoil and $39.99 in a rainbow foil treatment.

Secret Lair x KEXP: Where the Music Matters

The second KEXP-themed drop is Secret Lair x KEXP: Where the Music Matters. This is a basic land drop, as most superdrop events feature one now. According to the announcement:

These lands celebrate the places where music lives, and where music matters. KEXP originates from a very specific place in the shadow of the Space Needle (you can actually just show up and drink coffee while you watch the DJs spin; it's great), but it extends across the universe, spreading music and love in places you might never expect.

Where the Music Matters contains two of each basic land in the drop. Those basics look like this:

Everything Is On Fire

One of two drops in "The Ultimate Pencil Supedrop" that features aggressive red cards, Everything Is On Fire comes in a raised foil treatment in addition to its other iterations. The other aggro-red drop, shown below this section, has a raised foil option as well. Here's the first drop: Everything Is On Fire:

VroooOOOMMMMMM!

The VroooOOOMMMMMM! drop is our final drop for "The Ultimate Pencil Superdrop" for Secret Lair. It shares a lot of similarities with Everything Is On Fire, down to the fact that it also has a raised foil treatment for just a penny shy of $100. Here are the contents of the drop:
