Notes[ | ]

^† A card is counted as a reprint if it was previously printed in another set—either eternal or acorn. Cards printed as gold bordered commemorative sets, oversized promos, digital-only promos, Salvat printings, and/or Foreign Black-Bordered or Foreign White-Bordered sets are not counted as reprints.

To prevent over-counting:

  • A card's first printing is not counted.
  • If a card is reprinted with multiple art versions in a single set, it is only counted as a reprint once.
  • A card printed as part of The List is only counted once.
  • A skinned card is counted as a reprint of the base card.
  • Universes Beyond and Universes Within cards are considered the same card. A reprint of either version is counted as a reprint.
  • Secret Lair printings are counted once per Secret Lair drop.
    • Bonus cards included in a Secret Lair drop are not counted if the drop already includes that card.
