A new Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair drop featuring goblin-themed cards sold out rapidly despite limits and a queue system. Fans expressed frustration over access issues and high resale prices. Calls are growing for a return to print-to-demand production.
The Goblin Storm Commander Deck, featuring original art by Dakota Cates, sold out in 34 minutes during its recent Secret Lair release. The one-deck-per-person limit and virtual queue did not prevent quick sellouts, with many buyers unable to complete purchases even after waiting in line. Cates himself reported failing to secure a second copy as it sold out while in his cart.
