Oishii! Tokens (Japanese: オイシイ! トークン) is a drop in the experimental Secret Lair Chaos Vault product range and a continuation of the alternate art Secret Lair Drop Series. It became available for purchase from the Wizards of the Coast webshop secretlair.wizards.com on March 26, 2025.[2]

Description

Oishii! means delicious! The drop consists of four white-bordered Food tokens, each depicting a different meal. The illustrations are designed to mimic Japanese food packaging.

We care about our tokens here at Secret Lair. Sure, sometimes we use whatever random tokens are nearby on the table, and in a pinch, yes, we’ll throw a rubber band or a nickel out there. But given the choice, we’re bringing something really sick to the table and turning heads. Look sharp, play sharp.
Inspired by the unthinkably cool food packaging we saw on our last trip to Japan, we created these wild Food tokens. What do you think?

Bonus cards

As an extra, the drop comes with a surprise bonus card.[3] The exact card issued is random and could include a retro frame zombie-themed card (such as Cryptbreaker, Liliana's Standard Bearer and Varina, Lich Queen).

Criticism

The Oishii! Tokens drop received some criticism from customers on release. The price point of the drop was considered high relative to the value of tokens.[4] Food tokens were widely available at the time of the drop's release, with forty different official printings and many more fan-made options.[5] Compounding the issue was the release timing. With the drop being made available two days after the release of Our Boss is on Vacation, customers were unhappy that they were not able to include the drop in their other purchases.[6] This meant they would need to pay for shipping an extra drop and they may have missed out on the alternate art Deadeye Navigator promotional card given as a bonus when they spent more than $150 in a single transaction.
