What a terrible product, least they could do is reprint everything with new borders, the playtest cards look funny and all but meh, seems like they just threw this together to fill the nov-dec-jan void
Not my thing but it looks cute, glad others are loving these and if they do any good reprint it will hopefully bring prices down.

Wait til we start seeing copies of Mana Crypt with one of the test-card stickers over it. Peel it off and rip the face off the Crypt.... peel it and leave sticky residue behind.... ultimate bad customer feedback there LOL

I could be wrong, but I was told that the test print thing is actually part of the print, not a sticker. Like on the last Un-set, they did stuff that looked like it was not part of it.
Otoh, as long as it is tournament legal, I'm good with a REAL cheap Crypt with some sticker damage

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.

They aren’t actual stickers, they’re printed to resemble stickers.

Member since 2009; original handle lost in the Twitch shuffle.
So, per Verhey’s twitter, each pack has 2 C/U of each color, 1 Multi C/U, 1 artifact/land C/U, 1 playtest card, 1 M15 forward R/M and one pre-M15 card in its original frame.
Also, the set has between 1000 and 2000 cards! So, it may contain some needed reprints, but good freaking luck pulling them.

This is correct. The test cards are just printed on, no actual sticker. My pulls:

The cards that I pulled out of the top slots. Missing 1 that I can't even figure out which card it's supposed to be...
The video refused to run after the first pack. But I saw Chatter of the Squirrel pulled. Are these old cards that WotC purchased in bulk and inserted into packs with the "test cards" or are they entirely new printings?

Nevermind, these are reprints. Similar to Chronicles. I can see the new mark in the photos that I didn't spot on the video.
Damn, I wish that Legendary Sliver Eldrazi card was real (tournament legal) and not a play test card. Otherwise that’s the sound of me putting my credit card back into my wallet
What difference does it make? Sliver eldrazi isn't exactly tournament playable. Grizzly Bears is modern legal but it's not ever going into a modern deck.
I'm guessing (hoping) that these are not legal in Commander (the test cards) since that is a Constructed format? Don't really want to deal with Mirrored Lotus. :s

Ha, Golgari Death Swarm and Unicycle are both products of Maro's Tumblr discussions. He had a lengthy debate with players about whether a unicycle would be a Vehicle or an Equipment, and he also mentioned another time that Serra Angel could technically be printed in black-green.
Waste Land is probably also a nod to Maro's statement that land tokens wouldbe extremely unlikely, given that it's hard to tell when a token is tapped or untapped if you're using a bead, die, etc. to represent it.
Also a cheeky reference to the discussions about attempting to keyword "mill" on Truth or Dare.
Plane-Merge Elf and Baneslayer Aspirant are really cool, I wish they were real cards. Turn 2 Baneslayer Aspirant into turn 3 Gideon of the Trials would make for a nuts curve.
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.
How about an Eldrazi Sliver?

If Hive mind is in the boosters then good luck for the madmans who try it
