Wizards of the Coast is unleashing a chaotic new addition to the Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair lineup with the reveal of Secret Lair Commander Deck: Goblin Storm, a brand-new Commander deck built around aggressive Goblin strategies and the explosive Storm mechanic. The collectible deck launches exclusively through Secret Lair on May 18 at 9:00 AM PT for $149.99 while supplies last.
Designed by Magic: The Gathering developers Carmen Klomparens and Eli Rice, Goblin Storm combines fast-paced Goblin swarming tactics with spell-copying Storm gameplay, creating a Commander experience that leans heavily into unpredictability and overwhelming momentum. Wizards of the Coast describes the deck as a blend of relentless aggression and combo-style strategy, designed for players who enjoy building massive turns that spiral completely out of control.
The deck also showcases new artwork from fan-favorite artist Wizard of Barge, whose playful style reimagines the Goblins of Magic as chaotic and lovable “gobbos.” The visual direction gives the release a distinct identity within the Secret Lair brand while leaning fully into the absurdity and humor Goblin decks are known for.
Among the highlights are 12 foil borderless cards featuring brand-new artwork, including updated versions of cards like Zada, Hedron Grinder, Krenko, Mob Boss, Broadside Bombadiers, Grapeshot, and Roaming Throne. The release also includes 22 foil borderless basic Mountain cards illustrated in Wizard of Barge’s signature style, further reinforcing the deck’s collectible appeal.
Beyond the deck itself, Wizards is packaging the release with several premium extras aimed directly at collectors and Commander enthusiasts. The set includes custom Goblin tokens, a Storm Count tracker, a display commander card, and a themed deck box alongside the full 100-card deck.
