Secret Lair Joins the Fellowship Not all who wander are lost, like the awesome cards celebrating The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth that have found their way into a Secret Lair drop releasing later this year
Ideally, youll want to load up your graveyard with Prized Amalgams early in the game, then use a Bloodghast or Narcomoeba to bring them all onto the battlefield
While Wizards has mentioned increasing the drop rate of the Universes Beyond reprints, unless they are willing to massively increase the drop rate (which seems unlikely, because if everyone knows they can easily get Magic versions of Universes Beyond Secret Lair cards in a few months they might be less likely to buy the Secret Lair drops, and Lairs are hugely profitable for Wizards and Hasbro ), it doesn't seem likely that The List "reprints" will be enough to solve the supply issues that could arise if one of the exclusive cards becomes a format staple
But, replace that Marauding Raptor with an Ashnod's Altar, and suddenly you can sacrifice your eggs as soon as they hit the battlefield, giving you two mana to spend on another egg
Thats not only great for blocking flying threats, but it also gives you more artifacts to fuel cards like Thoughtcast or Kuldotha Forgemaster
