MTG's April Secret Lair Superdrop Includes New Capenna Commanders, Left-Handed Cards, And New Artist Series
Magic The Gathering's Secret Lair April Superdrop promotion has been unveiled, and it's offering brand-new printings of some of the top Commanders in the game, alongside an eclectic mix of weird and wonderful new art styles.
Secret Lair is Magic The Gathering's limited-time promotional storefront, where cards with new art are sold for only a few weeks before they're never made available again. This month includes seven drops, including New Capenna-themed Commanders, left-handed cards, and just some totally normal guys.

The April Superdrop will start on April 11 and be available for just a few weeks.
Magic The Gathering loves April Fool's day, and has the hilarious habit of actually making its jokes. Last year we were treated to 'all-text lands', which replaced the art of the five basic lands with the full rules text for them in a scrawling sheet of text. This year, we've got… left-handed cards.
The idea is brilliantly simple: if you're left-handed and hold a full hand of cards, the cards on top tend to cover the mana cost and power and toughness of the cards below them. These cards take that vital information and put it on the opposite side of the card, making them 'left-handed'. Even the copyright and artist information at the bottom is flipped.
More than just a joke, these are five remarkably great cards. Sisay, Weatherlight Captain is a popular WUBRG Commander, and Empress Galina has never had a reprint since its debut in Invasion. Rogakh, Son of Rohgahh is a more recent card from Commander Legends that also sees a decent amount of play. Garruk, Caller of Beasts and Geralf's Messenger aren't quite as popular, but the art on them is still amazing.
