Secret Lair: Summer Superdrop
Posted: Wed Jun 10, 2020 7:38 pm
OK, so here's a question over which I've been mulling lately. Should I buy a Secret Lair: Summer Superdrop? Here are some of my pros and cons:
Pros:
I like fetchlands
I like Walking Ballista
I like playing the stained-glass walker lottery
Cons:
$170 is a lot of money
I do not NEED any of these cards
I'm already buying a set and splitting it with some friends, so I get entries in the stained-glass lottery anyway, AND I get the Bolts that I want. I don't get the Ballista, which I do want (and I missed Heart of Steel as an individual drop, which I think I did not want to miss). So, is it worth it to pick up a set for $170 to get a random fetch, five walkers, Walking Ballista (which I can definitely see myself playing), and random "yeah, this card goes in" cards like Eternal Witness, Birds of Paradise, and Blood Artist (can never have enough of those cards)? I am leaning towards "no", but definitely willing to hear arguments.
My financial situation is fine. I'm still employed and I just got a significant raise, so I have Magic budget.
