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 an unreleased drop of cards in the Secret Lair product range and a continuation of the Secret Lair Drop Series.[3] It was announced on April 1, 2020.
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 (no. 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]
Availability
Although announced as an April Fools joke, it was announced that at some point in the future, after the passing of the COVID-19 outbreak, the cards will be printed and provided to WPN stores at no charge, to use at their discretion. Wizards of the Coast isn't yet sure when that will be or how stores will distribute them, but it'll happen.[3]
