Magic Con Atlanta is underway, and among the other big news we’ve gotten so far, we just had confirmation from a panel that we will be seeing a reprint of one of the most sought after Secret Lair exclusive cards we saw this year, and it will be coming in either Nauctis, the Sunken Realm or Kamigawa: Titanbreach

Jaws, Relentless Predator

The card in question is Jaws, Relentless Predator, which is currently selling for upwards of $160 USD online. As for which set this will be reprinted in, it’s up in the air between Nauctis, the Sunken Realm and Kamigawa: Titanbreach, although there are signs that point to it being the former.

We got to see some cards from Nauctis, the Sunken Realm spoiled at Magic Con this weekend, including another shark that makes blood tokens: Goramou the Coral-Taken. The fact that Nauctis is set entirely underwater, has sharks, and seemingly cares about blood tokens makes this set the perfect place for a reprint.

That being said, it will almost certainly be on a bonus sheet or as a special guest rather than in the main set, as this is a Universes Beyond card. However, this is still exciting, as it is a key piece in any deck that cares about sharks and blood tokens, and guess what? We’re getting a Commander precon dedicated to exactly that from Nauctis, the Sunken Realm Commander. We don’t know what the deck will include, but given that it’s called Blood in the Water and has a big shark on the front of the box, we can safely assume it cares about bloods and sharks.

Jaws, Relentless Predator is quite the formidable commander in his own right, thus the high price tag, and I imagine that after Nauctis releases and we get all these shark and blood pay off cards both in the Commander products and in the main set, he will see an all time high in demand given how invaluable it will be to these decks.

Setting A Precedent

A reprint like this is exciting for more than one reason. Yes it’s a cool card, but it also sets a precedent for future reprints. It’s not often that we get a reprint of a Universes Beyond card or a Secret Lair exclusive card. It’s unclear if they currently have any plans to reprint other Secret Lair exclusives, but the fact that they’re doing it here shows a willingness to do so.

This is great for the average player, as even if this is the kind of reprint that is only on the bonus sheet and therefore still somewhat expensive, it’s still far more attainable than it otherwise would be. Attainability is very important, as traditionally Secret Lair exclusives and Secret Lair cards in general have been hard to come by between limited print runs and scalpers, and for mechanically unique cards that only appear in a Secret Lair product, it means the vast majority of players will never get to play with or even see the card. Any change to that system is welcome.

There is major excitement for Nauctis, the Sunken Realm, and knowing that more likely than not, you will be able to open Jaws, Relentless Predator in the set only increases that excitement. Will you be trying to get your hands on a copy of this card?
