The The Strange Sands 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 January 14, 2025.

Description

This Chaos Vault experiment consists of five drops, each consisting of ten copies of one of the five basic lands.[2] Each drop costs $29.99 non-foil and $39.99 foil. For this sale Balmer created five surreal lands. As many collectors identified the island as having vulvaic imagery, it was the first one to be sold out.
