While the press release itself is no longer available, fans were able to obtain a few screenshots that helped recreate the list of cards in each drop. The goal for the first three drops is to have each color represented at least once, according to the leaked press release, which is especially clear with the first two drops. Each MTG The Secret Lair drop is cheap by Secret Lair standards at $30 for the base version and $40 for the foil version.

However, based on the leaks, the online income has not been great so far. There are two reasons. The first is that there have been several mechanically unique cards in recent Secret Lair drops, such as MTGJin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima, which is probably a great and interesting esper commander. Instead, the Monster Hunter collaboration features only reprints. The second reason is that most reprints are relatively cheap and underutilized, meaning their effective and perceived value is well below $30 or $40 in most cases.
