While Tarkir: Dragonstorm steals most of the attention this week, Magic has another wild party brewing. And everybody's invited…
… although nobody outside of Wizards of the Coast seems to know what that is! Three days ago, MTG Content Creator ManaCurves posted on BlueSky that they were collaborating with a Secret Lair, and that something exciting was coming tomorrow, April 9th, at 9 AM PT/12 PM ET:
“I have no idea what my free preview is (yet),” they wrote on the BlueSky post, “but we will find out together on stream!”
As it turns out, at least one other well-known content creator will stream this surprise: Voxy posted a few hours ago that they are also invited:

“Any guesses?” Voxy asked. “Cuz I have absolutely none LOL.”
In both cases, the RSVP note reads, “We'll be shipping you everything you need! When the day comes, you'll be the first to share this special treat with the public, kind of like a preview.”
So what could this party be about?
Everybody's Invited Commander Deck

The first clear clue is the name of the Secret Lair: Everyone's Invited Commander Deck. Whatever it is, it's not just a handful of cards, but a whole deck.
“The color palette and the mention of “Audience” makes me wonder if this is a full Miku deck,” notes u/beneathsands, although others considered the style was just a coincidence.
Other redditors are trying to guess who this lil' guy could be, hiding behind the “P.” from “RSVP”…

“Could be Krark,” noted u/NRF91, referencing to Krark the Thumbless. “But could also be a gremlin that's been fed after midnight.”
Or, who knows, even Loot after a midnight snack!
Some clues seem to point to another Secret Lair: Our Boss Is On Vacation.
For starters, that SL's promotion shows a calendar with the words “INVITE EVERYONE TO THE PARTY,” which seems like a clear connection. The date for that party would be April 14 (that's Monday next week), which could be the date when the Everybody's Invited goes on sale after being announced tomorrow on stream.

I'm Tired, Boss
Although many Magic players are having fun trying to guess what the Everyone's Invited Secret Lair deck could be about, others are tired of the non-stop barrage of Secret Lairs the last few weeks (we got Deadpool last week, SpongeBob the previous, and they keep comin' and they don't stop comin'). After all, product fatigue is a thing.
“I think they should really cool it with the secret lairs right now,” notes u/AnuraSmells. “I'm not usually one to complain about too many secret lairs, but recently we've just had the deadpool and spongebob drops one after the other. Even if someone does want this their wallet might be stretching thin.”
Don't be Late to the Party

From ManaCurves' and Voxy's posts, the Everyone's Invited Commander Deck Secret Lair Reveal Party happens tomorrow, Wednesday, at 9:00 AM PT.
Some posters were confused about whether tomorrow event is just a reveal, or when the Everyone's Invited SL goes on sale – while the promotional poster itself is not 100% clear, the way it's worded (“A Special Secret Lair Reveal Party”) seems to imply it's just the reveal, and that sales will start at a later date.
At any rate, we'll find out all about this new Secret Lair in less than 24 hours!
