1 hour 59 minutes

Episode 394:

🎙️ This Week on the CommanderSmiths Podcast! 🎙️

We’re diving into the spooky side of Magic this week with a full breakdown of the Secret Scare Superdrop 👻🕷️ From creepy new art, to wild crossovers (Jaws, Iron Maiden, The Office mashups, and more), to value adds like the rainbow foil Cryptic Command bonus — we’re covering it all.

We’ll talk about what excites us, what feels a little off, and what we’d like to see in future “scary” drops. Plus… is this drop actually worth it? We’ll crunch numbers, run the Break Points (BP) for each drop, and help you figure out whether it’s a buy, a skip, or somewhere in between.

What’s a Break Point (BP)?

Break Point (BP) shows how many drops you need to buy to basically get one “free” — because let’s be honest, we all want one to keep for the collection.

👉 How it works:

Add up the lowest Foil & Non-Foil singles values.

Subtract drop cost, shipping, and fees = Net Profit.

Divide that profit by the cost of one drop to find the BP.

Example:

If a drop costs $40 and has a Net Profit of $80, buying 2 covers the cost of one (BP 2).

If the Net Profit is $55, you’d need 4 drops to break even (BP 4).

💡 Pro Tip: Prices usually dip right after shipping, but many recover (or even climb) 10–16 months later. Patience can pay off!
