Of course neither of these sites have a complete set in stock, so perhaps it's worth more than that.

I don't like this idea. I think they should stick to precident - core set has white borders. I realize Wizards is a company and wants to do things to make more money, which is good for us collectors, but I don't like gimmics. I don't even like foil cards, or the new card face or the new font the car...

Q: Q: I've noticed that a lot of times, Alpha and Beta are not italicized in writing as other regular sets such as Time Spiral. Why are these two particularly different?

A: From Del Laugel, Senior Magic Editor:
Kathrine,
The answer to your question can be found in the Magic Style Guide, a rather bulky document maintained by Magic lead editors over the years. Here’s an except from the “Product Names†section:
Product names with release dates
Core sets (A.K.A. advanced-level sets)
Limited Edition, includes Alpha (8/1993) and Beta (10/1993)
Unlimited Edition (12/1993)
Revised Edition (4/1994)
Fourth Edition (4/1995)
Fifth Edition (3/1997)
Sixth Edition (4/1999), known as Classic (Sixth Edition) at its release
Seventh Edition (4/2001)
Eighth Edition (7/2003)
Ninth Edition (7/2005)
Tenth Edition (7/2007)
That shows that Alpha and Beta aren’t italicized, but it doesn’t explain why. For more information, we need to turn to the “Treatment of Specific Terms†section:
Alpha Not italicized because it was never a product sold under that name. Note that Alpha is considered a set, not an edition.
Beta Not italicized because it was never a product sold under that name. Note that Beta is considered a set, not an edition.
Limited Edition Refers to the Alpha and Beta sets together; not italicized because it was never a product sold under that name.
And there’s the problem. Unlimited Edition was the first set name that actually appeared on packaging. Alpha and Beta started as unofficial terms but were later adopted into the language of the game.

What exactly is MPS or magic premier shop (assuming that's what MPS stands for)? Are these a promotional item? What for? Why are they only in japanese and not being released in the states? Lastly, is this art only being used for these lands, or it art from land in another set? Inquiring minds want t...
