MTG: New Secret Lair Has Everything You Need To Be Bad To The Bones
A free-wheeling, skeleton-filled Secret Lair set for Magic: the Gathering has some of the absolute best flavor text in any Magic set.
The Summer Secret Lair Superdrop is underway. No sign of the Pinkertons so far, but the Summer is young yet. At any rate, there are some new cards if you’re looking for cards from outside the norm for Magic.
In Bad to the Bones, skeletons finally get their day in the scorching desert sun. It might be twilight, given some of the coloration on the cards. But hot rods, motorcycles, even a tiny scooter all feature heavily in the amazing art from Ryan Quickfall. Check it out.
Secret Lair – Bad To The Bones
Ride or die? Why not both!?!
This drop proves you don’t need guts to be a daredevil and you can always ride hard even if you have no body to ride with.
Just open the throttle, keep the rubber side down, and remember—only numbskulls forget their helmet.

The set comes with a total of five cards, each more skeletastic than the last, starting with Bottomless Pit, whose flavor text highlights the aptly named Ryan Quickfall.
Necrogen Mists provides yet another way to make each player discard a card at random, for the same but slightly different cost as Bottomless Pit.
Reassembling Skeleton, on the other hand, comes back from the dead for its casting cost. A great way to ensure that you kill them while you mill them.
Tinybones, Trinket Thief gives Bottomless Pit a run for its money with its non-canonical art that begs the question: what if Tinybones actually did own a scooter?
Finally, the Geier Reach Sanitarium gives you just enough of a little bonus along with your discarding.

B-b-b-b-bad, as the song says.
