I was taking some photos of my halo foils and this just *shined*. I love my Lathiel, she’s gorgeous. I’m so excited that halo foil is returning in Tarkir: Dragonstorm. Just a shame I’ll likely not be able to pull the cards with halo foil on it because they’re only on the super rare ghost foils 😅

Just a note that this isn’t official art - I just used the land template to frame it.

Can anyone else simply just adore this set Secret Lair with me? 😍 The Fairest Drop of All.
I love enchantments, and these are some great enchantment cards with the most stunning art by these skilled artists:

Destroy All Humans, They Can’t Be Regenerated.
I’m about halfway through this now and I think it’s pretty neat! MTG Manga Vol. 1 of (currently) 16, this is the first English version released Oct 2024, and Vol 2 is releasing Jan 2025. The bonus card with be Shock.
Anyone else pick this up?

For sure the new secret lair Chaos Vault set is for cards that didn’t sell out over the year(s)?
Possibly with a few scarce cards thrown in to incentivise purchase. Hopefully at a bit of a mark down?!

Magic Con Chicago promo cards for the Secret Lair Spectacular event entrants (non-foil) and winners (foil).
It’s hard living in Australia 🥲 I think I might have to plan a Chicago visit in 2026.

I adore the art on this Secret Lair by Helvetica Blanc. It’s beautiful minimalist at its finest, coupled with astrology themes for very fitting blue cards.

I don’t know how to choose a character, there are so many! Literally any cat, so I’ll try something different, let’s go with… Zul Ashur, because she looks so badass.

This set. This set has me drooling over all of the art. But this card has undone me. A cat themed Doubling Season. And it comes in fracture foil. Time for the elf counter deck.

Double-sided ‘Kardur, Doomscourge’ in Chucky theme from the recent #mtgsecretlair #camptotallysafe drop!

Phyrexia step and compleat treatment for those who need a reminder ☺️
Shiny Phyrexia set symbol on a foil layer.
P.s. Elesh Norn in anime art is killer 😎

Who’s keen to see the new Mana Foil treatment announced as a new variation in #MTGFoundations?!
I personally think it’s really neat, if similarly done to the Phyrexia step-and-compleat treatment. And this angel is *so gorgeous*.
High mana value, but a 6/6 flash might be enough biscuit to risk it!

#MTGSecretLair #MTGSLD These are a bit tougher. I think the first one is a Jinnie-Fay, Jetmir's Second (need!) possibly for No.2 #citystyle SLD set!?! but I can't place the other two. And the second three I just want all of them because the art looks *amazing*

Finally the last of the announcements are for #MTGSecretLair #MTGSLD released in 2025! The specificity of most them haven't yet been announced, but we can take some guesses based on the photos, right!? The first one is obvious - Spongebob. I cackled - some peeps will be salty about this.
