🎙️ This Week on the CommanderSmiths Podcast! 🎙️
This week we're diving into the new Commander Game Changer List—Wizards' attempt at helping players better define power levels by limiting how many powerful cards, or "game changers," you can have in each deck. But... did they miss some cards that probably should be on that list? We're talking through some of the biggest, most impactful cards in Commander and asking—should these count? Are there any that are flying under the radar but still warp a game? Or maybe the list is good as-is? Either way, we’ve got thoughts, laughs, and a few spicy takes to share.

🎙️ This Week on the CommanderSmiths Podcast! 🎙️
We're diving into the Secret Lair: Our Boss Is on Vacation Superdrop, dropping Monday, the 24th! This massive release features nine different drops, including the highly anticipated SpongeBob SquarePants collabs and six other unique sets.
Is this Superdrop worth your hard-earned cash? We'll break down Break Points (BP) for each drop, analyze the value, and help you decide whether to go deep, grab a few, or skip it altogether.
🚨 LIVE Cast Here🚨
https://youtube.com/live/wDSs3HgNW3Q?feature=share
🔗 What’s in the Drop?Check out the full list here!
🔗 Secret Lair Store:Buy it when it drops!
💸 Financial Breakdown (Before Fees & Shipping):
Legends of Bikini Bottom✨ Foil: $100 (BP 3) 🔥 Non-Foil: $65 (BP 3)
Internet Sensation✨ Foil: $60 (BP 8) 🔥 Non-Foil: $40 (BP None)
Lands Under The Sea✨ Foil: $80-150 (BP 2) 🔥 Non-Foil: $50-100 (BP 2)
Tragic Romance✨ Foil: $85 (BP 3) 🔥 Non-Foil: $60 (BP 3)
Garden Buds✨ Foil: $90 (BP 3) 🔥 Non-Foil: $55 (BP 4)
They Grow Up So Fast: Dragons✨ Foil: $90 (BP 3) 🔥 Non-Foil: $65 (BP 3)
Twisted Toons✨ Foil: $85 (BP 3) 🔥 Non-Foil: $65 (BP 3)
Pick 'Em and Stick 'Em✨ Foil: $75 (BP 3) 🔥 Non-Foil: $50 (BP 5)
Secret Lair High: Class of '87✨ Foil: $40 (BP None) 🔥 Non-Foil: $30 (BP None)
What is Break Point (BP)?
Break Point (BP) tells you how many copies you need to buy before you essentially get one for free after reselling the extras.
How it works:1️⃣ Add up the lowest Foil and Non-Foil values.2️⃣ Subtract fees, shipping, and drop cost to find Net Profit.3️⃣ Divide total profit by the cost of one drop to get your BP.
🔍 Example:
If a drop costs $40 and has a Net Profit of $80, buying 2 covers the cost of one (BP 2).
If Net Profit is $55, you’d need 4 drops to break even (BP 4).
💡 Pro Tip: Prices often dip after shipping but tend to recover or even rise 10-16 months later—patience can pay off!
