Later today (Monday, October 13th), Wizards of the Coast launches its next Secret Lair Superdrop. Titled the Secret Scare Superdrop, this series has ten different drops to purchase. But what do these drops contain, and are any of them worth the effort or money to acquire? Read on, and we'll break it down for you!

Artist Series: Kieran Yanner

Demonic Tutor|SLD|1856

Many Magic artists at this point have an Artist Series Secret Lair. Frankly, a vast majority of them absolutely rock, as well. Artist Series: Kieran Yanner is positively no exception to that. With four cards from the very first sets of the game, this drop is sure to be the breakaway hit of the Secret Scare Superdrop.

This drop contains the following cards:

ArmageddonArmageddonNorthern PaladinNorthern PaladinDemonic TutorDemonic TutorLord of the PitLord of the Pit

For a nonfoil iteration of Artist Series: Kieran Yanner, expect to shell out $29.99 on the Secret Lair webstore. For a Rainbow Foil variant, it's $39.99.

Secret Lair x Jaws: Terror of Amity Island

Jaws, Relentless Predator

Jaws, a film that came out in theaters in 1975, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. So, what better way for Magic players to get in on the action and frights than with a mechanically unique card version of the fearsome shark? Truly, this creature will be the ire of many a pod. They may even henceforth steer clear of open water after you make chum of their decks!

The Secret Lair x Jaws: Terror of Amity Island drop contains the following six cards:

Jaws, Relentless PredatorJaws, Relentless Predator

Descent into AvernusDescent into Avernus as "Panic on Amity Island"

Reckless EndeavorReckless EndeavorSneak AttackSneak Attack

AbradeAbrade as "You're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat"

And, finally, a Blood token depicting a bucket of chum!

This drop costs $39.99 for a nonfoil iteration and $49.99 in Rainbow Foil.

Secret Lair x The Office: Dwight's Destiny

Swords to Plowshares|SLD|2167

Okay, okay, I'll bite: I am as surprised as you may be to see a drop styled after Dwight Schrute of The Office. And yet, here we are! I know next to nothing about him, but I'm certain that this character is renowned within the fandom of this iconic sitcom. In any event...

Secret Lair x The Office: Dwight's Destiny contains the following cards:

Heliod, Sun-CrownedHeliod, Sun-Crowned as "Dwight Schrute, Hay King"

Steelshaper's GiftSteelshaper's Gift as "Dwight's Weapon Stash"

Swords to PlowsharesSwords to Plowshares

Baral, Chief of ComplianceBaral, Chief of Compliance as "Dwight, Assistant to the King"

Garruk RelentlessGarruk Relentless as "Recyclops, Eco-Friendly" and its flipside, "Recyclops, Nature's Vengeance"

Reaper KingReaper King as "Dwight o' Lantern"

In nonfoil, this drop will set you back $29.99 on the webstore, while a Rainbow Foil version costs $39.99.

Dreaming Darkly

Soulherder|SLD|2174

This Secret Lair drop lacks any description within DailyMTG's article about the Superdrop. However, the art by Jim Woodring is unsettling and quite eerie. There's not a ton we can say about this one, but if walls could talk, even they'd most likely stay silent here.

Dreaming Darkly contains the following four cards:

Glen Elendra ArchmageGlen Elendra ArchmageGuardian ProjectGuardian ProjectRoon of the Hidden RealmRoon of the Hidden RealmSoulherderSoulherder

This drop also costs $29.99 in nonfoil and $39.99 in foil.

Get ready, metalheads: Iron Maiden is coming your way! This drop contains six interesting spells that are adorned with art from the iconic rock band's various albums, all of which are noted below the cards' rules text.

The drop contains these cards:

Another drop within the Iron Maiden subset for this Superdrop event, Eddie Unchained explores the mascot of the band, the incomparable zombie named Eddie. This drop has art by Dan Mumford and Akirant, and is sure to give you the chills and thrills you are paying for!

Trick or Treat

Satoru Umezawa|SLD|2283

This next Secret Lair drop contains five cards depicting trick-or-treaters costuming as some of the cool legendary creatures in Magic. There's not a whole lot more to say about it except, frankly, that it's super cute!

Trick or Treat contains the following 5 cards:

Vito, Thorn of the Dusk RoseVito, Thorn of the Dusk RoseSatoru UmezawaSatoru UmezawaVoja, Jaws of the ConclaveVoja, Jaws of the ConclaveWilhelt, the RotcleaverWilhelt, the RotcleaverLiberator, Urza's BattlethopterLiberator, Urza's Battlethopter

Secret Lair x Furby: Doo-ay Noo-lah

Sol Ring|SLD|2315

Doo-ay Noo-lah is a word that we don't know anything about, except that it's Furbish, the language of the Furbies. But what we do know is that this drop is the first of three Furby-themed drops within this singular Superdrop. And it's so cute that we can hardly believe it!

Secret Lar x Furby: Doo-ay Noo-lah contains the following five cards:

Distant MelodyDistant MelodyExploreExploreInspiring CallInspiring CallChromatic LanternChromatic LanternSol RingSol Ring

This drop will set you back $29.99 in nonfoil and $39.99 in Rainbow Foil. There's also a Confetti Foil treatment here for $59.99!

Secret Lair x Furby: The Gathering

Tormenting Voice|SLD|2319

As the previous Furby drop pertained to the newer generation of the polarizing toy, The Gathering focuses on the first generation thereof. Grating to many and to some even a little creepy, this generation of Furbies (among other reasons) was controversial for never! Shutting! Up!

Ahem. In any event, this drop contains the follwoing five cards:

Sphere of SafetySphere of SafetyMiscastMiscastPhyrexian ArenaPhyrexian ArenaTormenting VoiceTormenting VoiceTamiyo's SafekeepingTamiyo's Safekeeping

Like the other Furby drop, The Gathering costs $29.99 in nonfoil, $39.99 in Rainbow Foil, and $59.99 in Confetti Foil.

Secret Lair x Furby: The Oddbodies

Umbris, Fear Manifest|SLD|2324

Okay, now we're talking! Oddbodies are a term used (previously) unofficially to describe fan-altered Furby toys. You can see many of these (if you must) on various social media sites if you know where to look. These ones, though? Downright horrifying, and we love that!

The Oddbodies drop contains the following five cards:

Hullbreaker HorrorHullbreaker HorrorMaddening CacophonyMaddening CacophonySerum VisionsSerum VisionsUmbris, Fear ManifestUmbris, Fear ManifestSpellskiteSpellskite

Secret Lair x Furby: The Oddbodies costs the same as the other Furby drops: $29.99 in nonfoil, $39.99 in Rainbow Foil, and $59.99 in Confetti Foil.

Conclusion

This drop hits the webstore in just under two hours from the publication time of this article. Are you planning on getting any of these Secret Lair drops? If so, you'd better be quick about it; these are all out within a limited-print run capacity, and many will very likely sell out quickly. What's your favorite of these drops, though, in the meantime?
