Secret Lair Commander Deck: 20 Ways to Win was built around an unusual Commander concept: winning the game through a wide variety of alternate win conditions. Its twelve specially illustrated cards featured a mischievous tanuki trickster spirit, with each illustration depicting the character causing trouble in its own way. The artwork was created by AlbaBG, Natalie Andrewson, Jordan Crane, Heikala, Aya Kakeda, kelogsloops, Brandi Milne, Luke Pearson, Dani Pendergast, Yuko Shimizu, and Wizard of Barge, making the deck as much an art collection as an exploration of unconventional ways to win.
