alternate 4th edition starter deck question

Post by berkumps » Tue Feb 20, 2007 10:46 pm

Is there a way to tell apart an alternate 4th edition starter deck from a regular one?

yes.
For unknown reasons, Alternate Fourth Edition cards seem to have been leaked into the public exclusively in starter decks. These starter decks feature the same product code as regular starter decks and share the same contents but can be recognized by their legal text which mentions the United States Playing Card Corporation instead of Carta Mundi. The starter deck boxes, however, do feature a slightly different product code. Their ISBN is 1-880992-26-4 instead of 1-880992-25-6.

Thanks Charlie. I recently purchased two 4th Edition starter decks and they had different pricing on the back of the box ($7.95US vs $8.95US), I wasn't sure if this was a way to tell the difference. The ISBN's are the same though, so I guess they're both just regular 4th edition starter decks before and after a price increase by wizards.

Also they glow/don't glow (can't remember) while the regular one does the other.
