Secret Lair
Secret Lair Commander Deck: Odds and Ends
A 100-card white-blue-black Commander deck for $149.99, on sale September 28, 2026 for a 24-hour window. Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign casts odd-mana-value spells for free, twelve cards carry new foil art by Ricardo Cavolo, and every card is a reprint.
Details as announced by Wizards, checked September 26, 2026. Prices checked September 28, 2026. The deck had not shipped at the time of writing.
The Facts
As with the Hatsune Miku deck, plan around the order window rather than a sellout. Orders are open for 24 hours and every order placed in that window is filled, so the only way to miss the deck is to miss the window. When you order affects when it arrives. A limited quantity ships right away, and orders after that are expected to ship in July 2027 in North America and August 2027 in the EU and UK.
What Is in the Box
The deck was designed by Megan Smith of Studio X. Wizards describes the 76 non-foil cards as Planeswalker-stamp reprints, the same stamp used in Mystery Booster 2 and earlier Secret Lair Commander decks, which marks them as this product's printings rather than the originals.
The Ricardo Cavolo Cards
These twelve foil cards are what make the deck a Secret Lair rather than an ordinary precon. Cavolo drew the art and also laid out the rules text, so the illustrations run past the frame and into the text box. None of the twelve is renamed. Each has the same name and Oracle text it has always had.

How Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign Works
Commander Spotlight
Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign ↗
A 3/5 flier with vigilance and menace for five mana. Whenever it attacks, reveal the top card of your library: cast it free if its mana value is odd, otherwise draw it.
Yennett attacks, you reveal the top card of your library, and if its mana value is odd you may cast it without paying its mana cost. If you don't cast it, you draw a card. Because the card you draw is the one you revealed, a land or an even card still ends up in your hand. You lose the free spell, but not the card.
If Yennett reveals a land, the trigger is wasted.
A land has mana value 0, which is even, so you can't cast it. You then draw a card, and that card is the land you revealed, so it still ends up in your hand.
You have to cast the revealed card while the trigger resolves. You can't hold it and cast it for free later in the turn.
A spell with X in its cost is cast with X as 0 when you cast it without paying its mana cost.
Casting a card this way doesn't let you use an alternative cost such as evoke, but you can pay additional costs such as kicker.
Its color identity is , so the deck is an Esper deck and nothing outside white, blue and black may be in it.
What the Deck Does
The list is built to make Yennett's trigger as reliable as possible. Of the 62 non-land cards besides Yennett, 57 have an odd mana value. The five even ones are:
With 37 lands, a random top card in a fresh 99-card library is a free spell a little under six times in ten. The deck improves those odds with cards that set up the top of the library: Sensei's Divining Top, Brainstorm, Ponder, Soothsaying and Doom Whisperer, plus Vesuvan Drifter, which lets you look at your top card any time.
-
Brainstorm MV 1 · puts two cards back on top · $0.75 Card page →
-
Ponder MV 1 · orders the top three · $1.80 Card page →
-
Soothsaying MV 1 · orders the top X, repeatably · $1.54 Card page →
-
Doom Whisperer MV 5 · surveil 2 for 2 life, as often as you like · $5.78 Card page →

Vesuvan Drifter MV 3 · look at your top card any time · $0.31 Card page →
-
Aminatou, the Fateshifter MV 3 · +1 puts a card from your hand on top · $2.74 Card page →
No cards match.
The payoffs are the expensive odd spells you would rather not pay for: Void Winnower, Ethersworn Sphinx and Profane Transfusion at nine, and Toxrill, the Corrosive, Breach the Multiverse, Enigma Sphinx and Approach of the Second Sun at seven. The two Sphinxes have cascade, so a free one can chain into a second free spell.
-
Ethersworn Sphinx MV 9 · cascade · $0.19 Card page →
-
Profane Transfusion MV 9 · $1.46 Card page →
-
Toxrill, the Corrosive MV 7 · $14.65 Card page →
-
Enigma Sphinx MV 7 · cascade · $0.26 Card page →
-
Approach of the Second Sun MV 7 · see below · $6.17 Card page →
No cards match.
Approach of the Second Sun works differently off Yennett. A copy cast from Yennett's trigger is not cast from your hand, so it doesn't win on the spot. It goes back into your library seventh from the top and you gain 7 life. It still counts as casting an Approach this game, so if you later draw it and cast it from your hand, you win.
The deck's name also refers to a set of unusual cards that don't often show up in Commander. Psychic Battle, Shared Fate, Exchange of Words, Aeon Engine and Fatespinner are the clearest examples, and most tables will need to read them the first time they see them. That makes the deck a good fit for a casual pod, and harder to play well than a typical precon.
What the Cards Are Worth
Every figure below is the cheapest existing printing of each card, checked September 28, 2026, with this deck's own printings excluded. That is deliberately the conservative number. It tells you what the same cards would cost if you bought them as singles instead of the box.
Counted either way, the singles are worth two to two and a half times the $149.99 price. Most of that value is in three cards. Esper Sentinel, Sensei's Divining Top and Void Winnower come to $155.57 as the cheapest foils, which is more than the box costs, and the other 85 cards make up the rest.
Among the 76 non-foil reprints, the most valuable besides Toxrill (pictured above) are:
-
Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth Non-foil reprint · $17.05 Card page →
-
Smuggler's Share Non-foil reprint · $10.66 Card page →
-
Venser's Journal Non-foil reprint · $9.14 Card page →
-
Command Beacon Non-foil reprint · $8.24 Card page →
No cards match.
Those totals are what the same cards would cost to buy, not what they would sell for. Most of the list is cheap enough that selling it one card at a time is not worth doing, so the table below breaks the total down by price, with the Cavolo cards counted as foils.
Is It Worth $149.99?
For most people who want to play it, yes. Whether it is right for you depends on why you are buying it.
Buy it if
You want the Ricardo Cavolo cards. This deck is the only product that has them, with art that runs out of the frame and into the text box.
You want a Commander deck you can play the day it arrives. It is a complete 100-card list with a clear plan built around its commander.
You were going to buy Esper Sentinel and Sensei's Divining Top anyway. Those two cost $95.31 as the cheapest non-foil copies and $127.85 as the cheapest foils.
Skip it if
You are buying it to resell. Every order placed in the 24-hour window is filled, so supply matches demand, and sealed products sold that way have usually not risen much in price.
You want it soon. Beyond a limited first allocation, orders are expected to ship in July 2027 in North America and August 2027 in the EU and UK.
You are counting on the value as resale value. Every figure on this page is what the cheapest existing printing costs. Seventy-six of the cards are Planeswalker-stamped reprints, and a stamped copy may not sell for as much as an original printing.
Find Out Whether the Odds Pay Off
Whether Yennett's free spells turn into wins, or only into interesting turns, is something you can only learn over a run of games.
TurnZero HQ tracks life totals, commander damage and results for the whole pod, and keeps a per-deck record across a season, so you can see what the deck beats, what beats it, and whether your upgrades are helping.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Odds and Ends Secret Lair Commander deck?
A 100-card white-blue-black Commander deck sold direct by Wizards for $149.99, led by Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign and designed by Megan Smith of Studio X. Twelve of the cards are foils with new art by Ricardo Cavolo, twelve are foil borderless basics, and the other 76 are non-foil reprints with the Planeswalker stamp. Every card is a reprint of an existing Magic card.
When can you buy Odds and Ends?
Orders open September 28, 2026 at 9 a.m. PT through the Secret Lair store and close September 29 at 8:59 a.m. PT. Every order placed inside that 24-hour window is fulfilled, so there is no fixed print run to race.
When does Odds and Ends ship?
A limited quantity ships right away. Orders placed after that allocation runs out are expected to ship in July 2027 in North America and August 2027 in the EU and UK.
Who is the artist on the Odds and Ends Secret Lair?
Ricardo Cavolo, a Spanish artist whose style Wizards describes as blending contemporary artwork with traditional techniques. He drew all twelve foil cards and also designed how their rules text is laid out, with the art running out of the frame and into the text box. The other 88 cards use their existing art.
Are any cards renamed in Odds and Ends?
No. Unlike the licensed Secret Lairs, none of the twelve Cavolo cards carries a flavor name. They are ordinary cards with new art and a new layout, and their Oracle text is unchanged.
How does Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign work?
Whenever Yennett attacks, you reveal the top card of your library. If its mana value is odd you may cast it without paying its mana cost; if you don't cast it, you draw a card, and the card you draw is the one you just revealed. Either way, you get the card. You have to cast the card while the trigger resolves, and a spell with X in its cost is cast with X as 0.
Is Odds and Ends worth $149.99?
On card value, yes. Priced at the cheapest existing printing of each card, the deck comes to $309.91 with everything priced non-foil and $358.57 with the Cavolo cards priced as foils. $155.57 of the foil figure is three cards: Esper Sentinel, Sensei's Divining Top and Void Winnower, and the other 85 still come to $203.00. Those totals are what the cards would cost as singles, not what they would sell for. After about 15% for fees and shipping, and counting the 59 cards under $2 as worth nothing, selling them would bring in something nearer $280, and less if stamped copies sell below the originals. It is a poor buy for resale, because the open order window means Wizards prints enough to fill every order.
