As for cards that didn’t quite crack the top ten, Deadeye Navigator, Aerith’s Curaga Magic, and Blasphemous Act were all consistent purchases throughout last year. Deadeye Navigator remains a popular way to infinitely win in Commander, with the Secret Lair printing being an affordable way to bling out decks at the time of publication. Blasphemous Act appears in the highly popular Secret Lair x Marvel’s Deadpool: April Pool’s Day! release, and remains one of the best board wipes in red for Commander play. Lastly, Aerith’s Curaga Magic is a reskin of Heroic Intervention from Secret Lair x FINAL FANTASY: Grimoire and is a staple for green Commander decks. With notables out of the way, let’s look through the best-selling Secret Lair cards sold in 2025.
#10 Armiger Unleashed (Forge Anew – Rainbow Foil)
Forge Anew
Secret Lair Drop Series, Rare
Magic: The Gathering—FINAL FANTASY continues to be quite a huge deal, which saw various Secret Lair releases from the associated set perform incredibly well on the secondary market last year. One of these is Armiger Unleashed (Forge Anew), which is one of the handful of common bonus cards you can open from this slate of releases. Equipment archetypes saw a notable surge with Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER and Noctis, Prince of Lucis being popular options to build upon FINAL FANTASY’s release, which has driven sales for this specific printing of Forge Anew over the last year.
Market Price: $387.85
Market Price: $447.82
As for the card, Forge Anew was first printed in The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, and it allows you to skirt around equip costs for as long as it’s your turn and returns an equipment card from your graveyard to the battlefield. The card has seen some brief competitive play over the years, with Modern Constructed’s Hammer Time being the most prominent. Given the hefty equip cost of Colossus Hammer, Forge Anew can forgo these equipment costs and attach it to whichever creature you please, making it a strong win condition. And it’s this suite of abilities that remains popular in Commander with casual players, even if there’s little care for the Secret Lair treatment.
#9 Super State (and Rainbow Foil)
Super State
Secret Lair Drop Series, Mythic
Sonic the Hedgehog was one of the more popular Secret Lair releases in 2025, which featured a mixture of reprints and mechanically new cards. Super State is one of these new cards (appearing in the Secret Lair x Sonic: Friends & Foes Drop), where it’s perhaps the best win condition for any Commander strategy that cares about loading up equipment and auras onto a specific creature (this is often called Voltron in Magic). For a whopping seven mana, Super State gives the enchanted creature first strike, trample, and haste, but also becomes a base 9/9 creature. If that wasn’t enough for you, Super State also makes it so that whenever you deal damage to an opponent, you deal that much damage to each of your opponents at the table.
It is easy to see why Super State became such a strong purchase in 2025, even with the Secret Lair Drop releasing back in July. Mechanically new cards from a Universes Beyond release are tricky to reprint, given the association with the intellectual property. This means there’s always a risk of cards spiking on the secondary market due to demand, especially since Voltron archetypes are a popular option with casual players.
#8 Knuckles the Echidna (Rainbow Foil)
Knuckles the Echidna
Secret Lair Drop Series, Mythic
Speaking of cards that happen to be win conditions, Knuckles the Echidna is from the same crop of Secret Lair Drops and comes with the ability to win you the game if you have thirty or more artifacts at the beginning of your upkeep. Creating (and having) that many artifact cards in play is trivial in Commander these days, since it’s effortless to have Treasure, Food, and Clue tokens knocking about while playing.
And even Knuckles himself comes with the ability to create Treasure tokens whenever one or more creatures deal combat damage to a player, not to mention coming with double strike, trample, and haste — meaning he attacks favorably in combat. And since the release of the Secret Lair x Sonic: Friends & Foes Drop last year, Knuckles is seeing a rebound in value on the secondary market because it’s an effective win condition for Commander play.
#7 Deadly Rollick (and Rainbow Foil)
Deadly Rollick
Secret Lair Drop Series, Rare
Deadly Rollick is one of the best removal spells you can play in Commander, as you have the potential to cast the card without paying its mana cost if your commander is on the battlefield. Even with a handful of reprints throughout 2025, it’s the Deadpool printing from the excellent Secret Lair x Marvel’s Deadpool: April Pool’s Day! that became a top purchase throughout last year, which includes Rainbow Foil copies as well. If you’re looking for a copy of Deadly Rollick and are indifferent to card aesthetics, the Rainbow Foil printing happens to be the most affordable copy at the time of publication.
#6 Deadpool, Trading Card (and Rainbow Foil)
Deadpool, Trading Card
Secret Lair Drop Series, Mythic
Appearing in the same Secret Lair product, Deadpool, Trading Card is the only mechanically new card from this release. It has become one of the more polarizing commanders to play in a casual setting, as it requires housekeeping that can be quite hard to track through a typical game of Commander. For four mana, Deadpool comes with the ability to exchange his textbox with another creature in play, along with the option to draw everyone a card if you sacrifice Deadpool. And since the Secret Lair Drop’s release April last year, the Marvel’s Deadpool: April Pool’s Day! Drop has become incredibly popular — with the previously-mentioned Blasphemous Act being another notable purchase from this crop of cards.
#5 Plains (#1513)
Plains
Secret Lair Drop Series, Rare
Appearing in the wildly popular Raining Cats and Dogs Commander Precon Deck, it’s the Full-Art Plains from this release that has become one of the best-selling Secret Lair cards from last year. It’s really easy to see why these are so desirable, as they depict various adorable cats and dogs across a colorful vista. Kindred archetypes continue to be popular in casual formats, as they allow players to keep to a theme that centers around their favorite creature type. Unsurprisingly, Cats and Dogs are some of the more popular options for casual play.
#4 An Offer You Can’t Refuse
An Offer You Can’t Refuse
Secret Lair Showdown, Rare
We don’t talk much about the Secret Lair Showdown cards, but these are cards you can acquire from achieving a deep run at a competitive event or just by attending one. Even though this adorable printing of An Offer You Can’t Refuse was printed back in 2023, it became a consistent purchase throughout last year. What makes An Offer You Can’t Refuse such a popular card for Commander play is the ability to counter a noncreature spell for one mana. Sure, you give the opponent two Treasure tokens — this downside can often feel trivial if you’re winning the game shortly after.
One growing trend we’re seeing with the Secret Lair Drop Series is that players are seeking out fancy versions of Commander staples if they happen to be within budget. An Offer You Can’t Refuse is certainly one of these, which depicts Cat Jace proposing an offer that probably won’t work out for the opponent. Also, it’s a really nice callback to Fact or Fiction, which also presents a similar outcome (and feeling) when cast.
#3 Porom’s Silence Magic (Silence – Rainbow Foil)
Silence
Secret Lair Drop Series, Rare
Porom’s Silence Magic is another common bonus card from the Secret Lair x FINAL FANTASY releases, which also became one of the hottest purchases last year. Silence has quite the history in Magic: The Gathering, allowing you to stop your opponents from casting a spell for a turn. While you don’t see Silence at casual Commander tables, it’s a staple in competitive Commander (cEDH) as it is a mana-efficient way to stop your opponents from doing anything as you carve your way to victory. With the continued prevalence of FINAL FANTASY since its release last year, Silence has cropped up in more spell-based strategies such as Y’shtola, Night’s Blessed and Celes, Rune Knight as a flavorful addition.
#2 Harmless Offering (Rainbow Foil)
Harmless Offering
Secret Lair Drop Series, Rare
Harmless Offering is the common bonus card from the Secret Lair x Marvel’s Deadpool: April Pool’s Day! release, which depicts Gwenpool gifting a harmless Jeff the Land Shark to a target opponent. Harmless Offering doesn’t see a ton of play these days, but it does create an interesting tool for politicking in Commander, especially if you have a Demonic Pact in play. With Demonic Pact, you’re able to give the enchantment to an opponent when the option of “you lose the game” is only available to them, which is something you can actually do in Standard Constructed thanks to the release of Magic Foundations.
#1 Command Tower (#7012 – Rainbow Foil)
Command Tower
Secret Lair Drop Series, Rare
Given how widespread the SpongeBob SquarePants Secret Lair release was last year, it isn’t much of a shock to see the Command Tower (#7012 – Rainbow Foil) from these drops be the best-selling Secret Lair card in 2025. The iconic pineapple under the sea printing of Command Tower was one of the many bonus cards from this series of products, with Smothering Tithe and cOuNTeRspELl being some of the rarer and high valye bonus cards you can collect.
Market Price: $211.75
Market Price: $451.83
Market Price: $19.01
Command Tower is one of the many staples in Commander, as it allows you to tap for mana based on your commander’s color identity. Generally, Command Tower is one of the more common bonus cards you can receive in Secret Lair Drops these days, as it allows you to personalize your decks while marrying the flavor with many of these Universes Beyond releases. Sonic the Hedgehog’s Master Emerald Shrine was another top-performing purchase throughout 2025, which is another flavor of Command Tower you can collect.
