December Secret Lair Full Review - Is It Worth Buying?
Ойын-сауық
December gave us 12 new secret lairs. Some are amazing, but others are trash. Which ones are worth buying?
I love Magic: the Gathering! I love playing the game, collecting cards, enjoying the art, and buying sealed boxes. Thanks for tuning in to learn about magic and personal finance!

Haha sorry it was late! Started it last Monday but [insert lame life excuses lol]
Don't forget that for every $200 spent on the December drop you get a Scarab God promo!

Super useful especially since I didn't want to wait for Tolarian's last minute value vid. The planeswalkers are the hidden value here. And Megatron v. Optimus Prine the lite version of "Praetors" secret lair, but still lots of value. I was looking around though and did notice that things like blightsteel take a bit of an indirect hit as people are willing to sell them for cheaper as there's about to be a lot more on market. So tbh, I'd also assume about a 20-30 percent downgrade in face value across anything that pushes that 40+ value. Just something to think about. And yeah, wtf is up with the bundles? For that matter, where's the crazy 20 percent off $200+ from a few drops ago? I guess wizards decided that either scenario is too much value for people. Aight, den.

Yeah, these reprints definitely affect the value of other editions. The bundles being gone… they’re going to lose a ton of overall revenue with this change.

Of course like the phyrexian secret lair (Value TOWN!!) here I am in on a handful of these Optimus vs. Megatron lairs. Much like my walking dead, street fighter and a couple others these will collect dust and hopefully TRANSFORM $30 into $60 in 2-3 years time. Love the sid the sloth clip...he is one of my alter egos.

@wesleywyndam-pryce5305 oh no, are you one of those people that want everything for free? Fml. Yes Wesley some idiots like myself like to buy extra to hold longer term to offset the cost of the one I will open. Sorry that upsets your delicate sensibilities.
Wasn't going to buy a damn thing from WOTC but UPDATE!!! (DJ Scarab God Promo Card) is "Free" with $200 purchase!! Had to re-watch your take before pulling the trigger on my $200...I think I need to take a shower now.

im mid-liquidation on my magic collection and honestly, these secret lairs look like intentional attacks against my collections value. im glad you enjoy them but i've seen enough to know i despise them.

The reprint situation is just a tad absurd (gigantic). I’ve got a whole video series in the works about how Hasbro has destroyed Magic and how to fix it. Spoiler: SLs is one of the problems!

Uhh Wesley, didn't he just agree ith you? And know your problem. Am facing the same, only am not selling so I can wait for the "inevitable" rebound of a lot. But all post "Silver Age" cards and even those are under fire. Curious what Dominaria Remastered will do to my semi reserved collection.... Not feeling too confident. Maybe if Secret Lairs were limited to 1 per buyer and max of 10.000 well that might helpmthe situation. Hope you still may have a Happy Merry Holliday Season and best of luck with selling. 🤘🦁🤘
Yeah the bundle savings being gone is so weird to me.
