Secret Lair’s next Countdown Kit is going full Marvel, and the value math is wild — $250 worth of reprints crammed into a 30-card box. Meanwhile, the 2027 Pokémon circuit is already rolling in Nice.

The 2027 Pokémon Nice Regional Championships are underway, with VGC, TCG, and Pokémon GO all running under one roof. If you want to scout the early meta or just follow the top tables, the official livestream feeds are up — tune in and catch the coverage here. First Regional of the new season is always worth a watch to see which decks set the pace.

Marvel’s History of Heroes is the next Secret Lair Countdown Kit, a 30-card set built entirely around the Marvel franchise as a lead-in to next year’s Darkhold Destiny. It reportedly bundles around $250 worth of reprints alongside two brand-new MTG cards, which makes the value proposition hard to ignore. Here’s the full breakdown on the Countdown Kit.
Wilds of Eldraine Play Booster boxes just hit a new all-time high. The print run ended a while back and the set’s bonus sheet is loaded with pricey Commander staples, so sealed product is only getting harder to find. If you’ve been sitting on boxes, this is where the price sits now.
This week’s price spikes leaned heavily on infinite combo pieces — and, somehow, yet another sphinx climbing the charts. Worth a scan before you buy anything combo-adjacent. See the full 10/10–10/16 spike list.
On the competitive side, the latest Banned and Restricted update came and went with no changes to Pauper — the Zealots deck lives to march another day. Joe Dyer covers the quiet BnR update. And if you’re in Standard, Reality Fracture handed us two new Garruks; Much Abrew puts Golgari Garruks through its paces to see if the planeswalker is back. Check out the Golgari Garruks deck tech.
That’s your haul for the day — go check those Eldraine boxes before they climb again.
