Ben,

Very little to no data is available on these sets. I found out the hardway trying to search for Portal decklists so I can see what cards are called in non-English languages. What little WOTC has on their site is all there really seems to be.

Wish you luck getting this info though.

Unless each card is a plate and then put into a larger fram, like typesetting used to be done. That way you do not have to cast a full plate, but onlt the individual ones. So just by putting the card plates in place, you can get the full 11x11 sheet. I have never heard of a printer like that, but I...

Another possibility is prerelease vs release. Since we know errors have been fixed between the 2 printings, it stands to reason that the layout of the cards on the plate might also change. Good point. So far there only appears to be a maximum of two misprint types for a given card, implying two pri...

Does this have to do with 'common runs'? Cause in the new sets there are always two or three runs or something. We are well aware of the fact that there are multiple runs. The point here is that each run must use a different setup for plate printing. In other words, the plate setup varies for print...

Well I think at the bare minimum, there is enough evidence that shows more than one sheet having been produced. The reasons behind it though are the question at hand.

Were lands printed on the commons sheet like they were for earlier sets? Ice Age had 15 basic lands (5 colors with 3 artworks for each land) as well as 5 snow-covered lands. My guess is that if the lands were printed on the commons sheet, that gave you multiple different types of common print sheets...

mtgs has a decklist somewhere. There are 22 lands with the new frame in the UW one. If you need one of each art then I can oblige. Actually after finally reading the them deck thread, I'll need one of every them deck. You probably don't know, since you are newer here, but I completed my collection ...

Normally themed decks are not noteworthy to me, but the new faced old art definitely makes me need to go out and get one of each pre-con. I am assuming one of each pre-con should get 100% of the new cards right?

Interesting. You have a scan of one, or is there anything noteworthy on the card(s)? Also another question is...how many lands in this new frame appeared in you UW pre-con? The reason I ask is I might need to get one of each and thought I could split the cost with local collectors. EDIT: I think thi...

Not only that, but artist usually get 100 APs as well. The come whitebacked, with only that card face in place. APs can be signed, doodled on, or whatever a person might like. They are sold for prices the market supports and what someone is wiling to pay for on one. I would disagree there is any har...

When Stephan Martinere was signing at our pre-release on Saturday, I got to see his new art in full color print. I overheard him talking to someone asking about the new 20/20 token art. I thought it was for M:TGO only, but it appears to be real.

I saw the Adult Swim commercial as well. Almost was shocked to see the commercial advert for the Coldsnap pre-release.
