At the pre-releases I know of in Australia (and certainly the one I was at) most or all of the expeditions had slight damage on the right side (as if the cutting blade wasn't sharp enough).
Was this the experience elsewhere? have wizards said anything about this?
Had a few with this down here in Sydney/Wollongong area. One of the guys contacted wizards and they said they will replace defective product. Not sure how this will work though as you need to provide a receipt for the product but if you can work that out you could probably get a replacement.
Yea. That's what I believe. We probably won't see an actual nm one. It seems that this new "gloss", or transparency (as I call it), melts or gets removed on the sides when sent to the print cutters.
Save your receipt (or buy another booster pack and save that receipt) and then contact WOTC, they will pay for shipping both ways and replace it with a mint condition version.
WotC seems really good about making this right. I got a Sunken Hollow that was damaged on the right side and the top edge. They sent me a FedEx label to send it in. I even forgot to include the receipt and they said to just send it separately and they would take care of it. Nice service!

As far as I have ever seen this is not true. They will send you product, but not specific foil...
If people are sick of reading about stuff just stop taking part. You have 100% control over what you read. Simic Ascendancy isn't going to get banned just because you didn't tell someone to shut up on the internet.
I sent back a Sunken Hollow that was creased across the bottom right corner. Came from a prize pack, explained that and they said no proof of purchase necessary, just mention it in the note.

The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
Wondering this too. My Blood Crypt came out of the pack with similar damage, a thin strip of irregular foiling going down the right side. Not a big deal, but if I can trade it in for a clean version I would like to.
I just got mine back from Wizards. In my letter, I told them I had gotten two Sunken Hollow expeditions (which was true), so if they wanted to send something else of similar value that would be fine. They sent back a Watery Grave! Still have never had issues with service from WotC, very satisfied
My wife opened a Temple Garden out of a booster at Target, and its right side was damaged. I'm guessing that the earlier the print run, the more likely it is that they will be damaged.

Reminds me of FTV Foils. Some worse than others.

Ok wizards replied to my message and did confirm that any item sent in for replacement will be replaced with an exact duplicate.
Mine came out of a fat pack.
