Leaked Magic Deck Shows $300+ Reprints With $60 Card

An unreleased Secret Lair deck leaked online with some of the card game's most valuable reprints.

A Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair Commander deck called Odds and Ends has leaked online. This unreleased product contains hundreds of dollars in reprinted cards. Polygon reported that someone received an advance copy by mistake, prompting the complete decklist to circulate on Reddit and deck-building sites. This 100-card collection, valued at $300 to $448, has Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign, as its commander.

Manipulating odd-mana-cost cards forms the deck's primary strategy. Yennett's ability lets you play them for free whenever they appear on top of your library. Polygon noted the deck includes clever cards like Brainstorm and Sensei's Divining Top that let you scan the top of your library. These effects set up opportunities to cascade expensive nine-mana spells without paying their full cost. This deck also features confusion-based gameplay, with cards that swap card text, steal permanents, and even reverse turn order.

Esper Sentinel is the deck's most valuable single card. This one-mana artifact creature sells for close to $60 on the secondary market. Only two previous printings make copies scarce. Sensei's Divining Top ranks second at around $40, with Void Winnower ($18), Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth ($16), and several others ranging from $8 to $15. Together, these reprints represent some of the most sought-after cards for competitive Commander play.

Wizards of the Coast has not officially announced Odds and Ends, leaving its release date and price unknown. Their recent Hatsune Miku Commander deck cost $150. It used a 24-hour print-to-demand ordering window. They described that approach as an experiment rather than a permanent release strategy.
