🔗 Share this article One of Avatar: The Last Airbender's best episodes receives a dedicated MTG collector's set. Ordinarily, summary installments are loathed from viewers as a pointless diversion, or at best tolerated as essential for series in the age of weekly production. This wasn't always the situation, though Avatar: The Last Airbender proved it with "The Ember Island Players," a beloved segment from its final season that is now granted a dedicated Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair drop. Details of the Secret Lair The complete Secret Lair superdrop for the forthcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender edition was announced on November 4. It features five distinct sets, and while one titled "My Cabbages!" is an admittedly amusing nod to Avatar's beloved recurring figure, the remaining sets appear slightly uninspired, except for one standout: "The Ember Island Players." Inspired by the seventeenth episode of the third season of Avatar: The Last Airbender, this Secret Lair features these specific cards: 1x Phantasmal Image represented as "Absolutely Accurate Actor" 1x Braid of Fire 1x Cursed Mirror 1x Mask of Memory 1x Thespian's Stage The reason this segment stands out Viewers of the series fondly remember this installment, which served as a recap of Aang and his companions' adventure leading up to the conclusion. Unlike standard summary installments, or compilation episodes, "The Ember Island Players" was not driven due to production constraints or scheduling problems. The creators genuinely intended to give fans a chance to reflect on the series' story, but they decided to execute it with flair. Throughout the segment, the main characters view a play depicting their adventures on a stage on Ember Island, named The Boy in the Iceberg. The entire performance is wildly exaggerated, melodramatic, and overall hilarious. It succeeds since it plays with the characters' perception of themselves, contrasting them against how the world (and notably the antagonist nation) sees them. It has an ideal level of introspective humor, and it becomes arguably the best adaptation of the series we have had. Value and cost In terms of value, this represents an excellent Secret Lair because of one major element: Braid of Fire. This card is valued between $20 and $40 on online marketplaces as of now, while for $29.99 you can obtain the entire Secret Lair, or $39.99 for the shiny edition. Magic: The Gathering's Avatar: The Last Airbender collection is available for pre-release events beginning November 14 and releases worldwide on November 21.
