Heroes of the Realm is a custom made series of black-bordered celebration cards, recognizable by a special "Heroes of the Realm" card back.[1] These cards are specifically created for Wizards of the Coast in very limited numbers, and handed out by the execs to some of their employees as a token of appreciation.[2] Since these cards don't have the regular card back, the cards aren't legal in any format.
A list of Heroes of the Realm cards is below.
