I love the art in this drop. Love the old goofy frames.

Brain dead is more or less a Brand/artist collective. They even bought an old historic theater that was about to close down. They also have an ongoing dickies partnership where they made a semi permanent pop up for their collab items, at dickies prices at that. They also sponsor and put on quite a few magic events including an upcoming con. Def recommend diving deeper if you’re on the fence. Just a general gist

Kyle Ng, the founder of Brain Dead, is a huge MTG fan. Their apparel line does a ton of licensed 90's properties, including MTG. The MTG products sell out CONSTANTLY. They have a pretty strong and devoted fan base. It's not for everyone but they've created and found a great and strong niche audience.

These are absolutely insane, and I will have to get my hands on them if I can. Maybe it's because I'm a graphic designer, but the art and typography are sick and very unique. I mean, can you think of a card that looks like these? Isn't that the point of Secret Lair drops after all?

They are certainly unique and it's awesome that you like them! I do want them to continue making lairs that push boundaries even if I don't like them personally.

Imho the art is great, its not the average "le grimey" style they put out in the previous few years but art made by clearly talented artists. Id much rather see these cards than the Hatsune Miku or Fortnite cards What would you consider a 5/5?

Happy you like the art! I gave the Da Vinci's Designs from AC a 5 as I'm a sucker for sketch style and the overall cohesion of the lair was great. Other lairs I'd probably give 5s to in recent memory would be "Through the Wormhole" and "Artist Series: Rovina Cai"

i think they're cool if you can find a deck that can carry the "goofy art". Im putting all em trashy art into my Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer cedh deck. Your trash is my treasure. The borders and art style remind me of 90s MTV and old-school MTG. Sol Ring reminds me of "Claws of Gix" which used actual photo of the artist's sculpture.

I'm not a huge fan of these lairs but I still gave "Creatures" a 3/5 for art. The others got lesser scores b/c of border inconsistency and real life depictions (trailers, billboards, etc).
