Through a collaboration with several Magic content creators, Wizards of the Coast has revealed seven of the cards from its upcoming โ€œEveryoneโ€™s Invitedโ€ Secret Lair Commander precon.

The exact date when this Commander deck will be available for purchase is still a bit of a mystery, although some clues point to next Monday the 14th. Seven cards, including the deckโ€™s very likely commander, have been revealed โ€“ and some of them are sure to raise some eyebrows!

From what we know thus far, โ€œEveryoneโ€™s Invitedโ€ is a five-color Commander deck that is being revealed one card at a time by well-known MTG content creators.

Manacurves announced it on their BlueSky account last week โ€“ without knowing exactly what the reveal was about. Seven cards have been revealed at the time of writing.

Y'all know that I am no good at keeping a secret ๐Ÿ‘€Something exciting is coming to @mtgsecretlair.com on April 9th at 9 AM PT/12 PM ET!!!I have no idea what my free preview is (yet), but we will find out together on stream next week! #ad

Here are all the cards shown thus far!

Morophon, the Boundless

One of the top #100 most popular commanders according to EDHRec, and among the best five-color commanders in the game, Morophon, the Boundless makes it clear that โ€œEveryoneโ€™s Invitedโ€ is going to be a five-color deck, and very likely focused on changelings and shapeshifters (which are not exactly the same, by the way: not all shapeshifters have the changeling ability).

We donโ€™t know yet if Morophon will indeed be the face commander, but itโ€™s the only card that could fit the role from what weโ€™ve seen thus far.

This Morophon, the Boundlessโ€˜s art has gotten a lot of positive comments, but the main question is, what will the mana base look like for a 5C precon like this?

โ€œIt will now be very interesting to see what wizards considers an adequate 5C mana base for a premium product such as this,โ€ notes u/ItsSanoj. โ€œAre there going to be any good land cycles reprinted? I doubt weโ€™ll see fetches or shocks, surveil lands or triomes.โ€

Morophon, the Boundlessโ€˜s also a somewhat pricey card; the cheapest copy you can find sits at $5 bucks, and premium versions can fetch a lot more.

As itโ€™s practically mandatory for every Commander precon, weโ€™ve got a Sol Ring!

Thereโ€™s nothing this ubiquitous mana rock can tell us about the deck itself (since, like, itโ€™s in every EDH deck), but the art reinforces the shapeshifter/changeling aspect that Morophon, the Boundless heralds.

Raise the Palisade

This one has raised quite a few eyebrows, as itโ€™s the first time weโ€™ll see Raise the Palisades after its original outing in The Lords of the Ring Commander.

โ€œI would love to see a more accessible reprint,โ€ notes u/Slant_Juicy, โ€œbut itโ€™s nice to see a card from a Universes Beyond set get a reprint of any sort.โ€

A great one-sided board wipe for any deck thatโ€™s heavy on changelings, this blue sorcery is also moderately expensive: the cheapest copy sits at about $8 nowadays, and a Secret Lair reprint is unlikely to bring the price down.

Bitterblossom

Manacurves got to reveal this preconโ€™s most expensive reprint yet: The infamous Bitterblossom, which you are unlikely to find for less than $15 by current prices.

I just opened my preview card and it's Bitterblossom!!!This is such a gorgeous piece! I about died when I opened my box! It looks like this deck is going to be an insane kindred drop! I am so excited!Thank you so much @mtgsecretlair.com and @magic.wizards.com for the free preview! #ad #sponsored

This black enchantment has also received high praise for its art, and strongly hints at another of โ€œEverybodyโ€™s Invitedโ€ angles: token generators.

Taurean Mauler, Tendershoot Dryad, and Avenger of Zendikar round up the batch of revealed cards.

The Maulerโ€™s art sees this red shapeshifter as the partyโ€™s DJ (although the flavor text has caught a bit of flak on reddit). Tendershoot Dryad and Avenger of Zendikar reinforce Bitterblossomโ€™s go-wide angle.ย 

Will the Party Start Next Week?

WotC has not yet formally announced when will the โ€œEveryoneโ€™s Invitedโ€ precon will go on sale, but thereโ€™s a very strong clue. Promo from another Secret Lair, Our Boss Is On Vacation, shows a calendar with the words โ€œINVITE EVERYONE TO THE PARTYโ€ for April 14 (thatโ€™s Monday next week).

While nobody has confirmed it officially, thatโ€™s our best guess so far.

What other cards do you think this Commander precon will include? Let us known in the comments!
