🔗 Share this article One of Avatar: The Last Airbender's best episodes receives its own Magic: The Gathering special card drop. Ordinarily, recap episodes face criticism by fans as a pointless diversion, or sometimes accepted as a necessity for shows in the age of weekly production. That wasn't always the case, though Avatar: The Last Airbender demonstrated this through "The Ember Island Players," a popular segment from its final season now being receiving a dedicated Magic: The Gathering Secret Lair drop. Details of the collector's edition The full Secret Lair superdrop for the upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender set was unveiled on November 4. It features five Secret Lairs, and although a set named "My Cabbages!" is an admittedly humorous tribute to the series' most famous minor character, the other collections appear slightly lacking creativity, with one notable exception: "The Ember Island Players." Based on installment 17 of the third season of Avatar: The Last Airbender, this collector's drop contains these particular cards: 1x Phantasmal Image represented as "Absolutely Accurate Actor" 1x Braid of Fire 1x Cursed Mirror 1x Mask of Memory 1x Thespian's Stage What makes this episode is special Viewers of the series clearly recall this particular episode, which functioned as a review of Aang and his friends' adventure prior to the final episode. Different from standard summary installments, or compilation episodes, "The Ember Island Players" did not stem due to production constraints or creative challenges. The show's makers truly wanted to give fans a chance to revisit the series' story, yet they chose to execute it with flair. Throughout the segment, the heroes view a play depicting their adventures in a theater set on Ember Island, called The Boy in the Iceberg. The entire performance is factually incorrect, cheesy, and utterly comical. It works because it plays with the characters' perception regarding their own identities, contrasting them with how the world (and especially the Fire Nation citizens) perceives them. It has an ideal level of self-awareness, and it becomes possibly the finest interpretation of Avatar released so far. Appeal and pricing Regarding worth, this is a great Secret Lair due to one key factor: Braid of Fire. This specific card is valued between $20 and $40 through card retailers currently, and for $29.99 you can acquire the entire Secret Lair, or $39.99 for the foil version. Magic's Avatar: The Last Airbender set is available for pre-release events on Nov. 14 and launches globally on Nov. 21.
