New Secret Lairs- April Fool's Joke?
« on: April 01, 2020, 07:27:50 pm »

Everyone has their favorite Magic cards—cards that remind them of the happiest moments from their childhoods, or time spent with their closest friends, or simply cards that are the coolest. And that's fantastic!

However, all of you are wrong, as there can be only one correct list of the greatest Magic cards of all time.

We at Wizards have agonized over this, arguing and shouting and using deeply personal insults to crush the wills of those with dumb opinions. (It's not Mulldrifter, Blake, ugh. Your mom was right.) After months of R&D in-fighting, we have arrived at an undeniable list of the best Magic cards of all time. And what's more, we've somehow made them even greater with glorious brand-new foil full-art treatments.

Now, without further ado, we present Secret Lair Drop Series: Wizards of the Coast Presents: After Great Deliberation, We Have Compiled and Remastered the Greatest Magic: The Gathering Cards of All Time, Ever!

This sounds and looks like an April fool's joke.

The product is real, but not available at the moment. It will be distributed to brick-and-mortar stores free of charge once the current pandemic has died down.

Yeah.  This is a complete joke.  But I really like the Goblin Snowman artwork.  I almost really want one.
Happy Brewing!

For those believing this is real, you might want to look at the names of the people they quote in the articles. They're plays on real peoples names. Like "Mid-Level Game Balancer Davin Derhey".

For those thinking it is completely fake, read the very end of the article where they do a bit of "real talk" about the current situation and their actual plans for the cards.

If it's real then great, but there's reason to be skeptical just like there's reason to believe it.
