Secret Lair Drop Series: April Fools, or Wizards of the Coast Presents: After Great Deliberation, We Have Compiled and Remastered the Greatest Magic: the Gathering Cards of All Time. Ever, is a drop of cards in the Secret Lair product range and a continuation of the Secret Lair Drop Series.[2] It was announced on April 1, 2020, and distributed through WPN shops on September 11, 2020.[3]
Description
The people at Wizards have agonized over this, arguing and shouting and using deeply personal insults to crush the wills of those with dumb opinions. After months of R&D in-fighting, they have arrived at an undeniable list of the best Magic cards of all time. And what's more, they've somehow made them even greater with glorious brand-new foil full-art treatments.
Card list
| Drop | Card number | Card/Token | Artist | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| April Fools | 060 | Storm Crow | Jesper Ejsing | Full foil |
| April Fools | 061 | Goblin Snowman | Victor Adame Minguez | Full foil |
| April Fools | 062 | Mudhole | Titus Lunter | Full foil |
Originally, the set also included a full-art foil Squire (#59). On June 22, 2020, it was announced that the card would be removed from the drop and not be printed.[4] This came on the same day that Wizards announced they would be terminating their relationship with the card's artist, Noah Bradley, following revelations of sexual misconduct.[5]
Planeswalker
In contrast to the other Secret Lair drops so far, this product doesn't contain one of the 36 stained-glass War of the Spark planeswalkers. It is replaced by a white-bordered Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded with the Duel Decks: Sorin vs. Tibalt art by Chase Stone (#537).[6] Coincidentally, this is both the first white-border M15-onward card frame and the first white-bordered Planeswalker.
Availability
Although announced as an April Fools joke, it was revealed that at some point in the future, after the passing of the COVID-19 outbreak, the cards would be printed and provided to WPN stores at no charge, to use at their discretion.[2] This happened when small numbers of the set were allocated to all WPN locations in September 2020 (1 for each regular WPN shop, 5 for WPN Premium shops).[3]
