Episode 374:

🎙 This Week on the CommanderSmiths Podcast 🎙 We’re digging into not one... but TWO major Secret Lair releases — the Everyone’s Invited Commander Deck and the Ultimate Pencil Superdrop — both dropping Monday, May 12th!

We break down what’s in the deck, the five new Secret Lair drops (including some wild raised foil options), and tackle the big question: Are these new price points actually worth it?

With the Commander Deck priced at $200 and foil drops hitting $99... we’re running the full financial breakdown, explaining Break Points (BP), and helping you figure out whether you should go in heavy or skip it altogether.

📦 What’s in the Everyone’s Invited Commander Deck? 💥 Total Value: $356 (Before fees & shipping) • 🌈 Cards: $229 • 💵 Cards over $10: $68 • 💰 Cards between $3–10: $46 • ✨ Foil Tokens: $40 → That’s about $150 in profit per deck... still solid value despite the price hike

🖍 Ultimate Pencil Superdrop – Estimated Values & BP • Secret Lair x KEXP: You Are Not Alone ✨ Foil: $65 (BP 5) ... Non-Foil: $53 (BP 4) • KEXP: Where the Music Matters ✨ Foil: $100–150 (BP 1–2) ... Non-Foil: $50–100 (BP 1–2) • Featuring: Jay Howell ✨ Foil: $60 (BP 5) ... Non-Foil: $42 (BP 10) • Everything is on Fire ✨ Foil: $48 (No BP) ... Non-Foil: $41 (No BP) • Vrooooommm! ✨ Foil: $66 (BP 5) ... Non-Foil: $47 (BP 6) • Adventures of the Little Witch ✨ Foil: $45 (No BP) ... Non-Foil: $30 (No BP)

💡 What is a Break Point (BP)? Break Point helps us figure out how many copies of a drop you’d need to buy to “earn” one for free through reselling. It’s a way to measure value for flippers or collectors who want to keep a set and sell the rest.

📊 Example: If a drop costs $40 and nets $80 in profit, your BP is 2... you buy 2, sell 1 to cover both. If the net profit is only $55, BP is 4... need to buy 4 to “earn” a free one. → Lower BP = better value → No BP = value just isn’t there right now

Either way... we cover the total dollar value AND the break points... so you get the best of both worlds. It’s all about helping you figure out how to rate these drops — not just hype them.

🎙️ This Week on the CommanderSmiths Podcast! 🎙️

This week we're diving into the new Commander Game Changer List—Wizards' attempt at helping players better define power levels by limiting how many powerful cards, or "game changers," you can have in each deck. But... did they miss some cards that probably should be on that list? We're talking through some of the biggest, most impactful cards in Commander and asking—should these count? Are there any that are flying under the radar but still warp a game? Or maybe the list is good as-is? Either way, we’ve got thoughts, laughs, and a few spicy takes to share.

🎙️ This Week on the CommanderSmiths Podcast! 🎙️

We're diving into the Secret Lair: Our Boss Is on Vacation Superdrop, dropping Monday, the 24th! This massive release features nine different drops, including the highly anticipated SpongeBob SquarePants collabs and six other unique sets.

Is this Superdrop worth your hard-earned cash? We'll break down Break Points (BP) for each drop, analyze the value, and help you decide whether to go deep, grab a few, or skip it altogether.

🚨 LIVE Cast Here🚨

🔗 What’s in the Drop? Check out the full list here!

🔗 Secret Lair Store: Buy it when it drops!

• Legends of Bikini Bottom ✨ Foil: $100 (BP 3) 🔥 Non-Foil: $65 (BP 3)

• Internet Sensation ✨ Foil: $60 (BP 8) 🔥 Non-Foil: $40 (BP None)

• Lands Under The Sea ✨ Foil: $80-150 (BP 2) 🔥 Non-Foil: $50-100 (BP 2)

• Tragic Romance ✨ Foil: $85 (BP 3) 🔥 Non-Foil: $60 (BP 3)

• Garden Buds ✨ Foil: $90 (BP 3) 🔥 Non-Foil: $55 (BP 4)

• They Grow Up So Fast: Dragons ✨ Foil: $90 (BP 3) 🔥 Non-Foil: $65 (BP 3)

• Twisted Toons ✨ Foil: $85 (BP 3) 🔥 Non-Foil: $65 (BP 3)

• Pick 'Em and Stick 'Em ✨ Foil: $75 (BP 3) 🔥 Non-Foil: $50 (BP 5)

• Secret Lair High: Class of '87 ✨ Foil: $40 (BP None) 🔥 Non-Foil: $30 (BP None)

Break Point (BP) tells you how many copies you need to buy before you essentially get one for free after reselling the extras.

How it works: 1️⃣ Add up the lowest Foil and Non-Foil values. 2️⃣ Subtract fees, shipping, and drop cost to find Net Profit. 3️⃣ Divide total profit by the cost of one drop to get your BP.

🔍 Example:

• If a drop costs $40 and has a Net Profit of $80, buying 2 covers the cost of one (BP 2).

• If Net Profit is $55, you’d need 4 drops to break even (BP 4).

💡 Pro Tip: Prices often dip after shipping but tend to recover or even rise 10-16 months later—patience can pay off!
