Wizards of the Coast has finally opened the box on the Secret Lair Commander Deck: Odds and Ends, and the contents are as generous as a Commander player could ask for. The deck, featuring new artwork from Ricardo Cavolo, hits the Secret Lair site today at noon ET for $149.99. Orders close after 24 hours, and every purchase ships.
What Comes In The Box
The centerpiece is Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign, now shown in Cavolo’s style. Twelve other cards carry new Cavolo art too. The rest of the package is built around reprints and tokens.
Here is everything you get:
- A ready-to-play 100-card Commander deck
- 12 foil cards with new Cavolo art
- 4 foil borderless basic Plains from The Oddlands: Plains
- 4 foil borderless basic Islands from The Oddlands: Islands
- 4 foil borderless basic Swamps from The Oddlands: Swamps
- 76 non-foil reprints
- 10 non-foil double-sided tokens
- 1 Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign display commander (not legal in sanctioned play)
- 1 deck box
- 10 non-foil double-sided tokens
- 2 Slug (VOW) // Copy (BLC) tokens
- 2 Inkling (STX) // Treasure (SNC) tokens
- 1 Tentacle (MKC) // Illusion (M3C) token
- 1 Tentacle (MKC) // Frog Lizard (LCC) token
- 1 Tentacle (MKC) // Copy (BLC) token
- 1 Slug (VOW) // Tentacle (MKC) token
- 1 Slug (VOW) // Inkling (STX) token
- 1 Inkling (STX) // Horror (C18) token
The token list runs from Slug through Inkling through Horror.
The Oddlands Lands
The deck comes with Chaos Vault: The Oddlands, a separate drop of two copies each of basic land, also illustrated by Cavolo. It costs $29.99 for non-foil and $39.99 for foil. The Swamp, Island, and Plains in this drop match the ones used in the Commander Deck.
Every three copies of Chaos Vault: The Oddlands purchased gets one additional drop for free. It goes on sale today at noon, the same time as the main deck.
Why The Price Makes Sense
At $149.99, this is a premium product. But the value is real. You get a full deck, a display commander, foil lands, and a box. The token variety alone — from Inkling to Horror — offers a wide selection.
The 24-hour window means anyone who wants it needs to act fast. Once it closes, it closes.
The Token List
The token list reads like a catalog of everything a Commander player could want. From Slug to Horror, the variety is wide.
“For every three copies of this drop purchased, an additional drop will be included for free.”
That bonus drop offer sweetens the deal for bulk buyers.
What To Expect Today
The deck launches at noon ET today. The order window closes after 24 hours, so anyone wanting it should mark the time. All orders will ship, and the pricing is fixed at $149.99 for the deck and $29.99/$39.99 for the lands.
The package is a complete package for anyone who wants to jump into Commander without building from scratch. The tokens alone justify the price, and the Cavolo art adds a layer of collectibility.
For Commander players, this is a rare moment. The deck is ready to play, the lands are foil, and the tokens cover the board. It is a full meal, and it is on sale now.
