Ever since Wizards of the Coast announced the new crossover Magic: The Gathering product Secret Lair x The Walking Dead last week, fans and MTG content creators have been expressing their concerns about its "mechanically unique" cards on social media; some fans even started a new Commander-like format called Captain. With the negativity in the community, sometimes you just want to take a break from it all, and enjoy the silly humor of the popular MTG-focused web comic Cardboard Crack.
Recently, Cardboard Crack shared two comic strips that bring up the Secret Lair x The Walking Dead "fiasco". The first one talks about the challenge of finding the right Wizards of the Coast employee to complain to:
The second comic pokes fun at how Rick, Steadfast Leader, one of The Walking Dead cards included in the new Secret Lair, is dominating the Legeacy format. Recently, an MTG pro got a 5-0 undefeated record in a Magic Online Legacy event with his Humans deck that utilized the new Walking Dead cards.
Last week, Cardboard Crack even poked fun at crossover possiblities with Magic. 2020 may be a difficult year, but I'm glad to see Cardboard Crack back!
Secret Lair x The Walking Dead is now available for preorder until October 12 on secretlair.wizards.com for $49.99/£49.99/€54.99. The estimated shipping date is January 4 to February 15.
