The full decklist for an upcoming Secret Lair Commander deck has been shared online, and if these leaks are accurate, this MTG deck is stuffed with powerful and desirable staples. The Odds and Ends deck is led by Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign, so it’s all about cheating out powerful cards with odd mana costs. It features artwork by Ricardo Cavalo, who has produced several Secret Lair cards and whose work has a colorful cartoonist vibe. Also, it’s always covered in eyeballs.
Leaks surrounding this deck have been circulating online for months, so we’ve already seen some images of the cards – in fact, we knew about its existence in late 2025. But now, the entire decklist has emerged in a Discord and been quickly recreated on the deckbuilding site Moxfield. And while the deck itself doesn’t feel very tightly constructed, with some rather random inclusions, fans are very excited by the sheer number of busted and expensive cards in here.
Pride of place, there’s Esper Sentinel, a Commander staple that has gradually risen to $60 over the years because it’s one of the most efficient and effective card draw spells available in its color, and Wizards stubbornly refuses to reprint it.
There’s also a Sensei’s Divining Top, a top-deck control card that provides surprising utility and fuels dangerous combos – and that you’d struggle to buy for less than $50.
Though it’s a far cheaper card than these two, fans also seem super excited about the land card, Yavimaya Cradle of Growth, which lets all lands count as forests. I suppose no one likes spending $15 on a land, so getting it bundled here is a big plus.
While these are the highlights, there are no shortage of powerful, costly creatures in the list, like Toxril and Void Winnower, as well as a couple more great mana rocks and lands like Command Beacon and Misleading Signpost. There are lots and lots of cards at the $15-20 mark.
There’s also some downright odd inclusions. For instance, Space Beleren, widely considered a troll card for the constant book-keeping it requires, tracking the ‘sector’ of every single creature. Then there’s Time Stop, an expensive spell which ends the turn. It doesn’t have an odd mana cost even, not that you’d want to cheat it out on your turn if it did.
Plenty of fans are bound to buy Odds and End even if they have no intention of playing it out the box, just to break it down for parts. There’s no confirmation of what this deck will be retailing for, but these Secret Lair precons normally sell for $150. Depending on which outlets you look at, there’s between $300 and $450 of card value in total here, making this a bargain offer.
I actually am wondering if this deck will be popular enough to bring down the value of cards like Esper Sentinel, and make them that little bit more reachable for the rest of us.
That will largely depend on whether Wizards tries out its new strategy and makes it print-to-demand for the first day. It implemented this for the Hatsune Miku deck and as a direct response to the backlash to Goblin Storm. Here’s the relevant portion of the relevant article:
“This sale is an experiment with introducing a 24-hour limited order window on products meant to be playable out of the box. So, this could include things like Commander decks, specialty products like the Secret Lair Dandân Deck, or anything else wild we think of down the line that may have the unique combination of high demand and out-of-the-box playability.”
That certainly suggests that the upcoming Odds and Ends deck would be included in the experiment too, but it’s far from a guarantee or a promise.
