Storm Counter helper card | Art by <a href="https://scryfall.com/search?q=a%3A%E2%80%9CWizard+of+Barge%E2%80%9D&amp;unique=art&amp;as=grid&amp;order=name" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wizard of Barge</a>
On Monday, May 18th, at approximately 9 AM Pacific Time (12 Noon Eastern), Wizards of the Coast officially releases Secret Lair Commander Deck: Goblin Storm! This 100-card deck features cards with art by Wizard of Barge, whose work exudes a delightfully cartoonish style. You'll be able to find Goblin Storm on the official <a href="http://secretlair.wizards.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Secret Lair website</a>, selling for $149.99. Is this deck worth the pains of queuing up for? Read on, and we'll explain!
<h2>This Could be an Exemplary Secret Lair Deck!</h2>
As we discussed in <a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/wizards-of-the-coast-announces-secret-lair-deck-goblin-storm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">our previous article</a> on the matter, Goblin Storm is a fantastic Secret Lair deck. The trouble, as it always has been, is that people will inevitably snatch these up like the latest video game console model. This much is almost entirely a certainty.
However, there are two things that Goblin Storm (sort of) has going for it. The first is that Wizards of the Coast has printed rough Commander decks with the Secret Lair model before. Everyone's Invited, the previous deck, was a typal-matters deck that they priced at a staggering $199.99. As a result of the paltry list value versus the price point that Wizards put down, Everyone's Invited remained on the webstore for several weeks. What this says to me is that Wizards knows how bad a deck has to be to not sell, which means they know the floor of their limitations.
This brings me to the second thing that Goblin Storm has going for it. That thing is Wizards' experience in doing every single Secret Lair drop before it. If Wizards is acting in good faith when pricing and printing Goblin Storm (and it seems like they are, since they're also limiting purchases on the webstore to just one per customer), they'll use this experience to make sure players get what they want.
I, personally, can't get a copy of this deck, as cool as it is and as badly as I really, really want it. $150 is still a lot for me to shell out for a preconstructed deck, even one as novel as Goblin Storm. But if you have that kind of cash handy, it's probably not a bad investment. It's already a great deck in many ways, and the value it provides is also quite good. Just expect to be queuing up for a little while tomorrow if you aim to purchase it.

<h2>Secret Lair Commander Deck: Goblin Storm Press Release</h2>
Below is Wizards of the Coast's press release regarding this Secret Lair deck. It explains the price of the deck and the general contents as well:
<blockquote>
The forecast calls for…goblins?! Wizards of the Coast has announced Secret Lair Commander Deck: Goblin Storm, a new Commander Deck featuring eccentric strategies and incredible art by Wizard of Barge, available exclusively on Secret Lair starting May 18.
“Secret Lair has been long known for its love of meteorological phenomena, and to answer the timeless philosophical question, ‘How many Goblins can I accumulate after I storm off to bash my opponents’ face in?’” said Secret Lair Principal Product Lead Steve Sunu. “If you understood any of that last sentence, this is the deck for you! We tasked Wizards of the Coast’s best designers and asked one of Secret Lair’s fan-favorite artists—and longtime Goblin enjoyer—to help us help you develop your own answer to that question.”
Designed by Magic: The Gathering’s Carmen Klomparens and Eli Rice, this deck delivers aggressive, fast-paced Goblin attacks alongside the patience and control of the Storm mechanic, creating a truly unique play experience. Paired with the playful, distinctive style of Wizard of Barge, which depicts the Goblins of Magic as silly, loveable little gobbos, this 100-card Commander Deck is unlike any other. It includes 12 borderless foil cards with brand-new art for cards including <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Zada, Hedron Grinder" href="#" target="_blank">Zada, Hedron Grinder</a>; <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Krenko, Mob Boss" href="#" target="_blank">Krenko, Mob Boss</a>; <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Broadside Bombardiers" href="#" target="_blank">Broadside Bombardiers</a>; <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Grapeshot" href="#" target="_blank">Grapeshot</a>; <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Roaming Throne" href="#" target="_blank">Roaming Throne</a>; and more. Plus, 22 brand-new borderless basic Mountains in Wizard of Barge’s signature style!
It all comes in a special deck box, accompanied by everything you need to take over the table: Foil Goblin tokens, a Storm Count tracker with new Wizard of Barge art, a sweet storage box to keep your new storm contained, and more.
