- 💰💸 Set Phasers to Superdrop! Is The NEW Star Trek Secret Lair Worth It? 💸💰
Episode 447:
🎙️ This Week on the CommanderSmiths Podcast! 🎙️
🤫 Shhh... it's a Secret Lair! 🍑📦
Adam is opening the ENTIRE Festival in a Box: Atlanta 2026! 🔥
This box is packed with exclusive promos, a special Secret Lair, AND a full box of Mystery Booster Commander Edition boosters!
We're opening EVERYTHING to see what surprises are hiding inside, what cards we pull, and how good this Festival in a Box really is!
📦 What's Inside Festival in a Box: Atlanta 2026?🎴 Mystery Booster Commander Edition — FULL BOX OPENING!
We're cracking open all 24 booster packs, hunting for powerful Commander reprints, new-to-Magic commanders, Future Sight frame cards, and playtest cards!🤫 Secret Gallery: Atlanta Foil Edition
Four exclusive foil cards featuring new artwork:🌊 Parallax Tide🌿 Regrowth🍃 Viridian Revel☠️ Assassin's Trophy✨ Festival in a Box Promo Cards
💀 Dance of the Dead — Full Art, Textless Foil⚔️ Tana, the Bloodsower — Full Art, Textless Foil🔥 Tymna the Weaver — Full Art, Textless Foil🐠 Auspicious Aquarium — Playtest Card💰 What kind of pulls will we get?
📦 Is the entire Festival in a Box worth the price?🔥 Will we find any amazing Commander cards?We're opening the whole thing and finding out!
💬 What card are YOU hoping to pull from Mystery Booster Commander Edition? Let me know in the comments!
💰 What Is Break Point (BP)?
Break Point helps figure out how many Secret Lair purchases you need before one becomes "free."
How It Works:
1️⃣ Add up the lowest Foil + Non-Foil values.2️⃣ Subtract fees, shipping, and the drop cost to find Net Profit.3️⃣ Divide Net Profit by the drop cost = BP.Example:
A $40 drop that nets $80 → BP 2A $40 drop that nets $55 → BP 4
💡 Secret Lair prices can dip after shipping and sometimes rebound later, so it's worth considering both immediate value and long-term collector potential.

🎙️ This Week on the CommanderSmiths Podcast! 🎙️
🌳 BIRDS OF PARADISE... BUT IN EVERY COLOR?! 🐦
Birds of Paradise is one of the most iconic mana dorks in Magic: The Gathering. One mana, flying, and the ability to produce mana of ANY color! But what happens when we take green out of the equation? 🤔
This week we're looking at the best Birds of Paradise alternatives in the OTHER COLORS! We're searching for those cards that give us similar ramp, fixing, and utility in white, blue, black, and red.
Can the other colors keep up with green's legendary mana bird? Or is Birds of Paradise still sitting on its throne? 😈
In this episode we cover:
🌳 What makes Birds of Paradise so good
⚪ White's best Birds of Paradise alternatives🔵 Blue's mana-producing options⚫ Black's ramp and fixing options🔴 Red's best alternatives🔥 Our favorite picks and hidden gems🧠 Which cards we'd actually play in CommanderIt's another Commander Fav 5-style discussion, so expect some strong opinions, questionable picks, and plenty of debate!

Episode 445:
🎙️ This Week on the CommanderSmiths Podcast! 🎙️
🦸 MARVEL'S HISTORY OF HEROES! 💥
The next Secret Lair release is here, and this one is celebrating decades of Marvel superheroes, villains, and iconic moments!
We're breaking down the brand-new Secret Lair Countdown Kit: Marvel's History of Heroes, launching November 2nd, and asking the BIG question...
💰 IS THIS $200 SECRET LAIR WORTH BUYING?!
This Countdown Kit contains 30 individually packaged Magic cards featuring artwork from more than 30 artists, celebrating the history of the Marvel Universe. Even crazier, the cards can come in non-foil, foil, or the coveted SURGE FOIL treatment! 🤯
And there's plenty to talk about!
🔥 In This Episode:🦸 The entire Marvel's History of Heroes Countdown Kit
💰 Is the $199.99 price tag worth it?✨ Non-foil vs. foil vs. SURGE FOIL treatments🔥 Notable reprints and Commander staples⚡ Doctor Strange, Master of Magic and Beta Ray Bill📈 Break Point (BP) and potential value🎨 Our favorite artwork and card treatments🤔 Is this a must-buy for Marvel fans, MTG players, or collectors?With cards like Fierce Guardianship, Opposition Agent, Heroic Intervention, Lightning Bolt, Vigor, and more, there are some serious Commander cards in this collection!
But does the overall package justify the price, or would you be better off buying individual cards?
💬 Are YOU buying Marvel's History of Heroes?
Let us know in the comments whether you're grabbing the Countdown Kit, passing on it, or just hunting for your favorite singles!

Episode 439:
🎙️ This Week on the CommanderSmiths Podcast! 🎙️
👀 What is Standard hiding from Commander?!
This week we're hunting for the most underplayed Commander cards that are STILL in Standard! 🔥
We're putting a simple rule on the list:
➡️ The card has to be from a set that's currently Standard legal
➡️ It has to be in fewer than 20,000 EDHREC decksFrom there, we're picking the cards we think Commander players are seriously sleeping on.
Some of these cards might eventually become staples... while others could be cards that look great on paper but just don't quite make the jump from Standard to Commander. 😈
In this episode we cover:
👀 Underplayed Standard cards for Commander
📊 Cards with fewer than 20K EDHREC decks🔥 Our biggest sleeper picks💥 Cards we think could become Commander staples🧠 Why some Standard cards translate better to EDH than others😳 Cards that are WAY more powerful than their current Commander numbers suggestAnd of course...
Adam vs Lowery — which sleeper picks are actually worth playing?!
💬 What Standard card are YOU surprised isn't seeing more Commander play?

Episode 438:
🎙️ This Week on the CommanderSmiths Podcast! 🎙️
🤯 Secret Lair just did WHAT?!
This week we're breaking down the brand new Secret Lair x MSCHF: The Zeta Set, coming September 2nd!
This isn't your normal Secret Lair drop...
🎴 We're getting RANDOMIZED BOOSTER PACKS!
The Zeta Set contains 121 reprinted Magic cards with wild MSCHF playtest-style treatments, and each pack contains 7 random cards — 3 commons, 2 uncommons, 1 rare or mythic rare, and 1 wildcard. Packs are $19.92 each, with purchases limited to 12 packs per customer.
And that's where things get REALLY interesting... 😈
💰 Is buying these packs actually worth it?
🎰 Is this Secret Lair basically gambling for Magic cards?🔥 Which cards are the biggest hits?💎 Which cards could become the chase cards?🧠 How good is the set for Commander?🎨 Are the MSCHF treatments actually something we want?We'll be breaking down the entire Zeta Set, looking at the cards, the treatments, the value, and whether this bizarre new Secret Lair experiment is something we're buying into.
And with cards like Chrome Mox, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Sol Ring, Birds of Paradise, Land Tax, and more showing up in the set, there are some serious potential hits hiding in those packs.
💬 Would YOU roll the dice on The Zeta Set?
How many packs are you buying... if any? 👀
💰 What Is Break Point (BP)?Break Point helps figure out how many drops you need to buy before one becomes "free."
Because let's be real — we all want that freebie drop for the shelf! 😎How It Works:
1️⃣ Add up the lowest Foil + Non-Foil values.2️⃣ Subtract fees, shipping, and the drop cost to find Net Profit.3️⃣ Divide total profit by drop cost = your BP.Example:
If a drop costs $40 and nets $80 → BP 2
If it nets $55 → BP 4
💡 Pro Tip: Prices often dip right after shipping but usually rebound (or climb higher) 10–16 months later. Patience = profit.
