It's time again to discuss another Secret Lair drop for Magic: The Gathering! On Monday, November 17th, at 9 AM Pacific Time (Noon Eastern), Wizards of the Coast will release the Avatar: The Last Airbender tie-in Superdrop. This superdrop contains five distinct Secret Lair products. What's in these Lairs, and are they of a quality befitting the roughly $30 price tag apiece? Read on!

Secret Lair x Avatar: The Last Airbender: My Cabbages!

This drop breathes new life into the trials and tribulations of the humble but hardworking Cabbage Merchant. These five cards tell a tale as old as the Avatar series itself. Poor Cabbage Merchant; you deserved so much better.

The cards in My Cabbages! are as follows:

And, you can see renders of these cards below!

My Cabbages! will sell on the Secret Lair webstore for $29.99 in nonfoil or $39.99 in foil.

Everything Changed

...When the Fire Nation attacked (look, we couldn't resist finishing the line!). This drop contains only four cards and is one of two drops in this Superdrop series to do so. The cards in this Secret Lair drop are as follows:

The renders for these cards are below. And no, we don't know why Dramatic Entrance is in this drop either, but it's a fun card nonetheless!

Like My Cabbages!, Everything Changed will also cost $29.99 in nonfoil and $39.99 in foil.

A Lot to Learn

This drop showcases Avatar Aang's journey to master the four elements over the course of a very short span of time. The drop contains four cards, fittingly given that fact. The four cards in A Lot to Learn are as follows:

The renders are below. They're pretty fun, and a reprint of Serra Ascendant is always welcome!

Like the two Secret Lair drops listed ahead of this one, A Lot to Learn costs $29.99 in nonfoil and $39.99 in foil.

One With the Elements

A very introspective look at the techniques and insights of Team Avatar, One With the Elements contains six cards, each showcasing a different approach to bending and its nuances. The six cards in this drop are the following:

One With the Elements will sell on the Secret Lair webstore for $29.99 in nonfoil and $39.99 in foil as well.

The Ember Island Players

On Ember Island, a local theatre troupe performed a play about the Avatar and his journey. This was... Not extremely well-received, at least not by Team Avatar. There were inaccuracies and plot holes that a bit of extra research could've prevented, but alas, the design was stellar!

The Ember Island Players drop contains five cards, which are as follows:

The (frankly quite humorous) renders are below as well. Like the other drops in this Secret Lair Superdrop, The Ember Island Players costs $29.99 in nonfoil and $39.99 in foil.

Conclusion

Finally, there's a bonus promo card if you spend $199.99 or more during the Superdrop, while supplies last. It's just a copy of Path of AncestryPath of Ancestry, but it is a cool one aesthetically:
