I think this quote from the FAQ says it clear enough

"S-Series Cards
The English and Japanese core games (the two-player game box designed for new Magic players) contain nine cards that don't appear in Ninth Edition booster packs. These cards have collector numbers that start with S, and they use the Ninth Edition expansion symbol. All of these cards are part of the Ninth Edition core set and are legal for play in all tournaments in which the Ninth Edition core set is legal.

S1 Eager Cadet (with new creature types: Human Soldier)
S2 Vengeance
S3 Coral Eel
S4 Giant Octopus
S5 Index
S7 Vizzerdrix
S8 Goblin Raider (with new creature types: Goblin Warrior)
S9 Enormous Baloth
S10 Spined Wurm

Note that there isn't a card numbered S6/10.

Because other languages use a different version of the two-player game, Eager Cadet and Goblin Raider are the only S-series cards printed in a language other than English or Japanese. However, older versions of all nine cards are legal for tournament play in all tournaments in which the Ninth Edition core set is legal."

Now if only they would tell us exactly why...

Sorry to re-drudge this up, but where did this picture of the Sea Eagle come from? I am interested in tracking down the truth on this one. We have a picture with no proof that the card exists or does not exist. Just because no one is talking about this does not mean we are 100% certain the card is non-existant as there is a pic of it after all!

And bah on the FAQ. There is a pic! What is the story on this?

The Sea Eagle image was (and still is) in the location in the wizards.com database one would expect it to be were it printed:

http://www.wizards.com/global/images/ma ... _eagle.jpg

However, the images for that database are digitally generated, so I highly doubt any printed copy, other than possibly some test prints, exist of this card.

Hi Mike.
I have All the Starters 2 Players 9Th Edition existing(Still inquesting on the S-Chinese),the Sea-Eagle was nowhere to be found.I bought also the
French Fat Pack,nothing in it.Except if the card is in the Preconstructed
9Th Edition decks or Starter,to my knowledge this card is Only Virtual.Someone should send a question to WOTC/Hasbro to confirm.
EDIT:28/04/06
As I received the S-Chinese Starter 2 Player,is the same as the others.
Chapter definately closed.

Got a form letter back. I bet they had a lot of people ask:




The English and Japanese core games (the two-player game box designed for new Magic players) contain nine cards that don't appear in Ninth Edition booster
packs. These cards have collector numbers that start with S, and they use the Ninth Edition expansion symbol. All of these cards are part of the Ninth Edition core
set and are legal for play in all tournaments in which the Ninth Edition core set is legal.

S1 Eager Cadet (with new creature types: Human Soldier)
S2 Vengeance
S3 Coral Eel
S4 Giant Octopus
S5 Index
S7 Vizzerdrix
S8 Goblin Raider (with new creature types: Goblin Warrior)
S9 Enormous Baloth
S10 Spined Wurm

Note that there isn't a card numbered S6/10.

The card Sea Eagle was originally slated to be numbered S6 of the 10 card S-Series in the Core Game, but it was pulled from the product in favor of Wind Drake
late in development. There were only 9 different S-Series cards printed in the 9th edition Core Game for this reason.

Out~> (Image of sea eagle)




Because other languages use a different version of the two-player game, Eager Cadet and Goblin Raider are the only S-series cards printed in a language other than
English or Japanese. However, older versions of all nine cards are legal for tournament play in all tournaments in which the Ninth Edition core set is legal.

Thanks Mark. Guess this confirms the REASON why there is no S-6 card.
