Missing foil cards from Dragon's Maze

Post by berkumps » Wed Dec 11, 2013 4:36 pm

I just discovered that in the four languages French, Italian, German and Russian, the following 10 cards were not possible to get in foil from booster packs. Booster packs of Dragon's Maze in the four languages mentioned above contained foil shocklands of RTR and GTC. In order to make up for this mistake WOTC issued special booster packs, containing these 10 foils. The issue was limited, so it's hard to get those cards in foil.

The cards in question are:

AEtherling
Blood Scrivener
Pontiff of Blight
Possibility Storm
Pyrewild Shaman
Renegade Krasis
Renounce the Guilds
Scion of Vitu-Ghazi
Skylasher
Trait Doctoring

Did anybody else here this same information regarding these foils? Have a picture of what the special booster pack looked like containing these 10 cards?

No clue, hoping someone can shed light. Got the information above from this ebay auction:

Found this info.
"MTG dragon's maze sealed 10 card missing rare foil pack.. Due to a factory mishap 10 cards were never packed out in dragon's maze booster packs as foils...to correct this era WOTC released a very limited number of sealed 10 card packs containing these foils and distributed them to RUSSIAN vendors...making these 10 cards very scarce as foils."

I have enough cards to stack them all up, and commit suicide off the top!

Ok, so I'm going to guess that these packs exist in the 4 supposed languages, but that the problem was corrected later for each language. Only way to prove it I suppose is to pull one of those foils from a booster of each language.

Nevertheless, the sealed packs of 10 cards would be a nice collection addition.
