Avatar: The Last Airbender originates from an era of Nickelodeon where the funniest thing a show could do is have a recurring background character screaming "MY [insert object of anguish here]!" every so often. This is not a criticism: I am a greying adult who still quotes SpongeBob by saying "my leg!!!!!" whenever I hurt my leg. 

For Avatar: The Last Airbender, one of the most beloved recurring comedic bits is Cabbage Man. Every so often on the show, our group of heroes would rambunctiously crash through the local town where Cabbage Man earns his living, and would overturn his cabbage cart by accident while doing Avatar stuff. In response, the Cabbage Man would scream some variation of "MY CABBAGES!" Being a small business owner is difficult enough, even without youngsters demolishing your wares on an irregular basis mid-adventure.

Of course, Magic: The Gathering had to bring Cabbage Man into its Avatar: The Last Airbender set, as one of the show's beloved recurring bits. But they've gone a step further than simply including the character, instead giving him his own Secret Lair drop - aptly titled 'My Cabbages!' - which you can take a look at below.

The cards in the Cabbage Man Secret Lair drop include Chain of Vapor, Meltdown, Nature's Claim, Anguished Unmaking, and Putrefy. The non-foil version of the set goes for $29.99, while the foil version goes for $39.99. You can find out more about the set right here.  

It's also worth noting that all of the flavor text lines featured in this Secret Lair drop are actual Cabbage Man lines from the show. What an icon. At least he's gotten his own Secret Lair shrine after getting all those cabbages ruined.
