We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your Secret Lair order is likely going to be delayed. The good news is that your order won't be canceled automatically, and this is a great opportunity to exercise the value of patience.

This week on the Magic: The Gathering website, the Secret Lair team posted a message announcing that there will be a manufacturing delay for Secret Lair drops. Citing "inconsistencies with a raw material component" used in the production process, the manufacturing schedule has been disrupted for Secret Lair drops. As I'm sure you already know, Secret Lair drops are made-to-order, which is why Wizards of the Coast doesn't have thousands of Secret Lairs ready to be shipped out at a moment's notice.

The Secret Lair team has given customers three options. You can "sit tight" and wait for your order to arrive, or you can "modify your order" to "swap or remove the affected item" with the help of the Customer Support team. And if neither of those options appeals to you, you can also cancel your order and request a refund. To reach out to the Customer Support team to change or cancel your order, you can contact them at support.wizards.com.

Hopefully, the delays won't have you waiting too long.
