[BlogAtog] Marvel Secret Lair Mechanically Unique Cards WILL appear in future product. (markrosewater.tumblr.com)

Hi Mark,

From one Marvel fan to another, what does the chance of getting access to the otherwise mechanically unique Secret Lair Marvel cards in a later product look like now after the feedback was passed on? Still low? Impossible?

All the unique mechanical cards from the Marvel Secret Lair will appear later in the same mechanical form, possibly with the same name, in some product.

@Ithorian @mike
I don't think the answer quite means what you're thinking.
If MaRo's answer had been no, that would mean the only way to access these mechanically unique (and tournament legal) cards would be in the limited print run secret lair. That SEVERELY restricts supply, which would cause any cards that are needed for tournaments to spike to hundreds or thousands of dollars, depending on the format.

@Ithorian @mike I agree that they shouldn't be standard/modern legal in the first place, but further restricting the supply would only make situations worse
