Why it matters

The experiment with the Hatsune Miku Commander Deck was a success, with positive feedback influencing future releases. Queue management improvements are ongoing to enhance the Secret Lair experience.

Details

The 24-hour order window for the Hatsune Miku Commander Deck worked as intended, with all orders fulfilled.

Players provided valuable feedback on the decks, particularly Goblin Storm and the Secret Lair Dandân deck.

Throttling the queue was necessary due to high traffic and order volume during the transition to backorder.

The experiment revealed that the queue time started high but fell sharply within the first few minutes.

Good to know

• The experiment was conducted as a 24-hour limited order window for the Hatsune Miku Commander Deck
• Feedback on the decks was collected and will influence future Secret Lair releases
• The experiment aimed to test the effectiveness of a shorter order window for Commander decks
