Deadpool Power Creeps Classics in Ridiculous, Low-Value Secret Lair

Just when it looked like Secret Lair was done making noise for the week, after scalpers smelled Dandan blood on the water, a Deadpool Secret Lair was teased. This one, titled I Fixed It (You’re Welcome), was shown off through Taalia Vess on Instagram and quickly spread across Reddit…

… and quickly sparked controversy about poor reprint value, and the art being fun but hard to parse.

New Deadpool Secret Lair

The new Deadpool Secret Lair includes six cards: Sol Ring, Lightning Greaves, Lightning Bolt, Deadly Dispute, Thrill of Possibility, and a Mountain. And the gist of them all is Deadpool correcting cards and turning them into others.

To be fair, there's a lot we don't know yet about this particular drop… but that uncertainty has not stopped players from judging the contents, and the first complaint has been the obvious one: value. You can get all six of them for less than seven bucks if you buy their cheapest reprints (I mean, one of them is a basic land!) which is brutally low by normal Secret Lair standards.

Again to be fair, special treatments sometimes do justify paying extra (and sometimes a lot extra). But, still, it's not like Magic needed even more reprints of Sol Ring, Lightning Greaves, or Lightning Bolt.

That said, this is not a drop filled with unplayable bulk. Sol Ring and Lightning Greaves are Commander staples, Lightning Bolt remains iconic across multiple Magic formats, and even lower-value cards like Deadly Dispute and Thrill of Possibility are plenty familiar to casual and Commander players. The problem is not playability. The problem is that Wizards seems to have built this drop almost entirely around novelty and presentation instead of giving buyers reprint value.

The Art Is Either the Whole Point… or the Main Problem

The scribbled-over, “Deadpool fixed your cards” theme has certainly won over some Magic players as art pieces… while being pretty lousy play pieces, given they can be pretty confusing.

These cards are clearly designed to look chaotic, obnoxious, and self-aware in a very Deadpool way, and in that sense they seem to have hit the spot. But MTG players also want them to function as game pieces. One can easily imagine someone glancing at the Lightning Greaves card and mistaking it for Swiftfoot Boots across a table.

It's probably telling that the one card in this drop that's getting the most universal praise is the Island Mountain. That's one card that, even with the wacky art, is easy to read!

Is This an April Fools’?

Because the previous Deadpool Secret Lair was tied to April Fools' season, some players immediately started wondering whether this is headed in the same direction.

That does not confirm anything, of course. Right now, the safest read is that the product appears real… but until Wizards confirms that this is the real thing (and shares such small details as the actual price!), we'll have to wait and see.

Final Thoughts

For Deadpool fans, this drop may end up being exactly the sort of unhinged collectible they want. For players judging it on resale value or reprint equity, though, I Fixed It (You’re Welcome) looks like a rough sell. The cards are playable, the presentation is undeniably on-brand, and some fans clearly love the chaos. But if you were hoping for a Secret Lair with actual financial value, this one looks more like a joke with a weak punchline.
