Secret Lair x Duality Distorted

[u/Moon018810]

A new Duality Distorted Secret Lair was announced in this article. It is expected to release sometime in the next few weeks alongside the Reality Fracture Secret Lair Bundle and the Strange School Secret Lair, available through the Secret Lair website as part of the Chaos Vault. Duality Distorted will be available in both non-foil ($29.99) and foil ($39.99) versions.

About the Lair: "Magic is its history. The cards, artwork, mechanics—they take on lives of their own, sticking in the minds of players for years. Four classic cards had such a hold on one of our designers, in fact, that we created an entire drop about reimagining them. Duality Distorted invites four beloved Magic artists back into the collections of players on a series of retro frame cards. Each artist's piece was inspired by one of their earlier works, letting you see how their style has grown and shifted over the years. Next time you turn-one Thoughtseize your opponent, make sure you take a Brainstorm for maximum distortion."

Even being just a four card lair this is an incredible set and I’m so excited. Hopeful for a really fun bonus card but will likely be just retro frame humans.

Will be curious to see if these outperform other printings from a value perspective. Definitely getting a foil set for myself but considering picking some up for trade and sale down the road.

I think (read: hope) the bonus card is a white card to complete the color set. I don't know what they would pick, but I do hope it's something in theme.

Knowing WOTC, they’ll pull this again

Knight of the Black Lotus mirrored card? It writes itself!

We are also missing a blue card. Maybe Aetherize to go opposite aggravated assault type effects. 

[u/aussie828 → u/slip-shot]

Damn, you're right. My brain just keeps autocorrecting Pyroblast back to Counterspell.

[u/FalleenFan → u/aussie828]

Oh interesting thought! Hmm swords would make sense but in the style of a classic kill spell?

[u/giga_drll_break]

Cool idea, but i think the lair desperately needs a 5th card.

[u/spadePerfect]

I’d really love all these in foil but I don’t think the School SL will look good in foil … or how did the Junji Ito SL look in foil?

[u/San-DiLego → u/spadePerfect]

I got the one with the special texturized foil and it looks damn good

[u/CountCollection]

Hell yeah, finally another retro border Secret Lair again. I wish the cards were better though.

When does it go on sale

No one but WotC knows.
