Did you notice they also experimented a different font for the text on the Wastes ?

Did you notice that Adarkar wastes is not in 8th?
I presume that means these were printed quite early.

Hi Members.
These Test Prints were not intended to be used in 8TH Edition but to test the New Lay Out.4 Different Versions exist,2 For the Foil and 2 for the Non Foil.

Hi Alexis,
that would be great (to determine which cards I'm missing again $:-\$ )
To cellect a playset of them seems to be quite difficult lol

They are..... ALTERNATE Frame 8th Edition Test prints. According to the source they printed 3 of each card (non-foil and 2 different foil versions) of the entire 8th Edition set. All I can say right now is that they are BEAUTIFUL and I wished that Wizards had chosen these ones instead of the current ones.

The ones that I have aquired are the following and will be posted once I get back to Toronto either tonight or tomorrow morning!

Adakar Wastes FOIL
Both Versions of Giant Growth FOIL

STAY TUNED!

I did not understand how many different cards are available ?
Is it just a few printed in 3 different versions, or is it 300 as mentioned in the post above ?

Hi,

Any idea on the price too? I'm tempted to pick one up solely for collection.

EDIT: So the test prints are of 7th edition cards?

Do the cards have normal magic backs?

Sadly they do not. I guess because these were just test prints for the new frame they didnt spend the money/time to give them actual magic backs too. Although they dont have magic backs they are the same thickness as standard magic cards.

You're right! I didnt notice that until you mentioned it. But yeah I had a wierd feeling before when looking at the card but couldnt put my finger on the difference.
