Nope. We (at least us brazilians) know FBB is anything but english BB. BTW, i have a lot of Purtuguese 4th BB. If anyone needs anything, ask  :) , since i have noticed  that few people have portuguese BB cards on the net.
I collect foils and FBB Base Sets. PM me.

To keep this thread on topic, please follow up any discussion about the ante cards missing from Portuguese sets in this thread:

Since the Creature/Criatura line is the same in Portuguese and Spanish, is there any other way to distinguish them, other than the copyright line?

The most reliable way I've found is to remember that Portuguese uses the ç character and ~ over vowels, whereas Spanish only uses ~ in ñ.  Then again, I'm a Spanish student, so it's pretty easy to tell Spanish for me.  I do sometimes confuse Portuguese and Italian, though.

True.  It's just that sometimes I don't even pay attention.

A member of this community has made a nice website to distinguish languages: http://saturn.vfx.com/brett/magic/mlang.html

That was the page I was looking for! It's helpful.

If anyone wonders how to easily differentiate non English booster packs, I did long time ago 2 pages on this topic:
- http://www.chez.com/erl00/Asian.htm
- http://www.chez.com/erl00/European.htm

Please note that, with 8th Edition, these pieces of information are no longer true, evrything is Magic: the Gathering.

Please help me finish my Boosters collection
