Secret Lair Drop Series: Sheldon's Spellbook is a drop of cards in the Secret Lair product range and a continuation of the Secret Lair Drop Series. It will be available for purchase from the Wizards of the Coast webshop secretlair.wizards.com from February 26, 2024 to March 24, 2024.[2][3] This drop is pre-order and time boxed to demand.
Description
Sheldon's Spellbook honors the late Sheldon Menery. The price is $39.99 (non-foil) and $49.99 (foil). The proceeds of sales benefit the American Cancer Society.[4] The chosen cards are ones that he was well known for and enjoyed playing in Commander. Eladamri's Vineyard is there because he had a profound love of wine and sharing it with friends. Inkshield is there because "you did this to yourself" is probably the phrase most associated with him and that card is the purest embodiment of it. He had a Ruhan deck that was all about that.
