I don't know anything about Magic, so !g*mers and !spongebob will have to tell me why this is terrible beyond the obvious consumerist reasons. But there seems to be some drama about it, so here you go.

Eh, it's a secret lair, which are just silly cash grab variants of existing cards and not part of the standard set releases.
If nerds want to sneed, they should be sneeding about how the current standard set is literally "Grand Prix" themed. As in, all the different planes of existence that have been at war for all of time apparently decided to pause their endless conflict and meet up on a new plane to have a fricking car race.
Now that they're done playing
cowboys and indians(oops, can't offend the sacred cow that is "indigenous peoples") cowboys and uh other cowboys a few sets ago.It's actually pretty impressive how WotC has managed to take a concept that's already inherently gay and lame - a collectible trading card game - and continually find ways to make it infinitely more lame and gay even after decades.

The Big Bang Theory had a running gag where the main male characters played this trading card game and would announce the names of the cards they played which were all just dumb fantasy puns. One of the expansions for that card game was called "Wild West and Witches", a cowboy themed set.
That MTG cowboy set makes me think of that Big Bang Theory joke and it showed me how much they jumped the shark, their set design is about as deep as a throwaway gag from a normie sitcom.
