Filler Cards
Index | Images | Card Pack Supplement
|
Magic cards are printed on sheets. Usually the number of cards in a set and the rarity distribution are chosen in a way that all slots on a sheet are filled but occasionally, especially when printing box sets or preconstructed decks, some slots remain unused. These slots are then occupied with filler cards. Normally these cards are sorted out prior to packaging, but sometimes a few of them slip through. A Vanguard Filler and a Black Filler card with Pokemon Back are known to exist from uncut sheets. Regarding the Vanguard sheets, Series #1 has all 49 (7 x 7) spots filled with Vanguard cards. There is an odd distribution of the 8 cards, probably so some of the extras could be given out as promos. The Series #2 sheet has 6 copies of each card. The bottom right spot is left white, and has the typewritten word "Blank" as the only identifying feature. The word is sized at ~ 14 point font, is about 1/4 to 1/3 down from the top, and is to the left of center. If the sheet were to be cut (to a normal cut for Vanguard cards) it would probably look like filler #50: Two Sides Black Border filler card. The difference would be that the black borders would be on the top and left, and this Vanguard filler would contain the word "blank".  Two Sides Black Border "Blank" filler card from Vanguard Series 2 uncut sheet. This filler was never found in a booster so far, that's why it's not included in the Fillers tab. Regarding the Black Filler with Pokemon back, the filler card, in the top-left corner of the sheet, is pure black. If it were to be cut with rounded corners like a normal card, it would be filler #19: Black Round Corner filler card . If it were cut with square corners (The easiest way to cut this sheet) it would be filler #24: Black Square Corner filler card. Since the sheet is uncut it could be either. MTG PRODUCTS SOURCES FOR FILLER CARDS Filler cards can come from different MTG products, for very few of them it is unknown from which sources they were distributed at the moment: * Booster * Box set * Demo Game booster * Preconstructed theme deck * Premium Series deck * Prerelease event * Prerelease pack * Printing Facility * Redeemed set * Starter deck * World Championships deck Demogame boosters are given away as a free product to advertise Magic: The Gathering. They were handed out at MTG Events, conventions, also distributed to stores to potential new players and they were also part of the Guru program. They exist in different languages and some of them included a filler card.
