The neon borders thing looks cool, but lol at <1% rates. Also I'm not big on cards with a prominent coloured border that doesn't match the colour of the card.

So, is the tech going to be real tech, or is it actually magic, presumably that of the leader of the anti-tradition movement?

The issue here isn't the frequency that card shows up in the Neon Ink as much as the number of Rares it's on. And it just makes it sound horrifically miserly on their side as a result.

MissMarple posted:The chance of any specific Rare occuring in a Collector's Booster is something like 4%, so it's more like if you do pull that exact Rare you have a 1/4 chance it's got the mad ink, which compares to (I believe) something like 1/3 normally a card being it's Alt Art version. Since we don't know which slots this thing will occupy we probably don't know stuff like if the card replaces the regular versions of this card or even if WOTC meant the 1% is per pack or per box. Their wording just says "<1% of boosters contain a neon ink card".. I'm guessing that's packs? but maybe boxes. Just looks like their vague on purpose. Don't really want to go to the stream to hear if they said one or the other since they can easily just correct what they said later anyways. Assuming its 1% of collector booster packs that's like ~1 every 9-10 CB boxes.. and also of course this is assuming we're getting 12 packs per box. If they drop it to 10 packs that's 1/10 boxes. Honestly not really sure why they tested this neon ink on this card. Do people care about Hidetsugu from his appearances in the past Kamigawa sets? Why not do this neon ink treatment on the main planeswalker of the set or even do it for the lands. People in the sports card world don't collect parallels if they don't care about the card.

It's fine, they can just nerf the broken alchemy cards and render worthless all the wildcards people spent to craft them. It's completely fine

I cannot comprehend why this style would not be on sufficient Rates/Mythics to show up somewhat frequently. My only guess right now is that this printing is for some reason inordinately expensive and/or tricky and they are testing whether putting incredibly low incidences of expensive treatments on otherwise inconsequential cards makes Collectors go wild. Or they want to try even wilder treatments for Store Promos and are seeing the reaction to duplicating that into packs in some way.

By this time next year, we'll all be complaining about the glut of neon border cards because once this is successful, wotc will jam 10x the amount into every future set

Each color has a different foiling method too. Its testing the waters for the different foilings (which maybe running lots of different foil types costs more than lot of 1-2 types?), but its also testing the response to ultra-super-secret rare cards. Masterpieces did this too, but they were mostly already high demand high power cards, this is making a super exclusive version of just some standard rare.

I just want non foil nu Kamigawa lands, was never a fan of how foiling has turned out. The retro frame foils that only foiled the border but left the art alone was super loving nice and didn't hurt my eyes.

The side story so far said that combining the two was the bad ending they were all scared of. But the kami of the spark possessed the mask anyways and kaito planeswalked away

It's very clearly a trial balloon to see what collectors think of parallel printings yea. They put it on a meh rare so as not to pollute the data with people needing it for tournament decks. They do a unique printing to actually make it 'special' for collectors otherwise you get that 47 version teferi no one cared about.

Also you could blind your loving opponent if you caught the light properly if you had any foil white cards in the old frame Pros call this move "mind games"

I didn't read properly at first that the different neon ink treatments had different rates that's some peak "of course they would"

quote:The numbered, collectible, and exclusive Kamigawa: Platinum Edition set comes in a black & neon pink Neon Dynasty-themed backpack, designed to store and showcase your entire Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty collection collection. And it’s packed with exclusive storage, art pieces, and artifacts celebrating the futuristic world of Kamigawa. We can’t show you everything yet because most of it is based on (as-yet-unreleased) card art but we have been approved to share this: Not my thing really. I've been looking for a deck box but uhm The Platinum is $449 and The Silver is $179. Kinda hoped it was going to be one of those figurines/statutes of Kaito. There's a tanuki sidekick plush that looks nice maybe but again you have to buy the Platinum Edition. They didn't show everything off because of spoilers but I can't think of what else would be in there that would make it worth that much. Apparently they may have spoiled something (gameplay wise) for Kamigawa since the metal counters apparently say reach, vigilance and trample.. which implies keyword counters

Is there any significance to the "or" in the first line of this card as opposed to it being an "and"?

ilmucche posted:Is there any significance to the "or" in the first line of this card as opposed to it being an "and"? "and" is ambiguous and could be read as requiring the creature to ETB at the beginning of your upkeep, instead of one OR the other.

I find it more ambiguous with the or, you get either ETB or each upkeep but not both. Boolean magic
