Oh yeah, well I opened a pack of Zendikar and there was a bowling alley inside!!! Not an actual bowling alley, just the deed.
The Lich guy has a grand total of 2 posts so he is in no way credible. My bet is the Candelabra story is real, but people are underestimating the rarity of these inserts. I think we're looking at less than one per case, possibly way rarer than that even. How many packs have been opened behind the scenes? And only one open that's not an obvious hoax?
I bet urzassedatives is the same guy that trolled another forum on this site for that BS... or he's just easily trollable.
Can I sig this? that's the most ridiculously funny thing I've heard all day. At any rate this is going to be a slugfest, either it's real and people go crazy, or it's not real and people still go crazy.
They are doing it. They are taking my idea and putting it into practice well almost. I had this crazy idea that wizards should put a special chase foil rare of some of the best cards in magic. It was a special promotional deal. The cards would be inserted like one per two boxes or so and they would be legal in only the formats they were legal in. I was thinking what new player would not want to crack open a foil black lotus? This is even better. I hope this is true and i can crack open a lotus or mox or even a library
Take your monoblack deck, then set aside 14 swamps. Add 4 Creeping Tar Pits, 4 Darkslick Shores, 4 Drowned Catacombs, and 2 Jwar isle Refuge and add 4 Jace, the Mindsculptors. Your monoblack deck is instantly better. Better yet, drop those refuges, throw in some islands and some mana leaks, and lo and behold, you're now playing a real deck. Congratulations. Welcome to the world of competitive M:TG.
Whoa, whoa whoa whoa..... Urza is a admin, most probably a god in human form.
Saying hes a troll is like saying Jon Finkle sucks at Magic... it dosen't happen....
screw it! i want to quote this one!
urza, seds, whatever you want to call him- is really cool and we've discussed a deck in another thread quite extensivly with great results. but to think someone is inflawable just becuase he's a mod/admin is just plain rediculous.
i'm not saying anything negitive twords seds, i've only had great experiences with him. i just don't like people thinking mods are gods, cause their not.

1.) Anyone who thinks cancel is viable should be shot. in the face. with a hammer.
2.) You misunderstand, what I was suggesting was the total exclusion of Spellstutter Sprite, because it just isnt that good anymore.
3.) Understand, Dredge is not really a Magic: The Gathering deck. When a card is playable in it, it doesn't mean it's a tournament playable card. It means it's playable in whatever crazy fantasy world that Dredge operates in.
Why do people get so enraged in their own disbelief in things? Its not like this wouldn't be a good idea for wizards. It would be a brilliant idea to get people interested in older formats and sell more product. Plus, who is to say that wotc wouldn't want to have kept this a secret just for the sake of keeping it more interesting?

Regardless, people need to settle down lol.
I like the idea. I really do...I want to see more people playing Legacy.
I just find it incredibly unbelievable.
Also, they should be putting Force of Wills in there, not Candlebras...

Yes. I know he has a tendency to delete posts he doesn't ideologically agree with (see the Mythic rarity discussion thread) as "spam."

Wow, you're only the 3433rd person to bring that up. And I'll be the 242nd person to reply that these aren't reprints, they are old stock sitting around Wizards HQ OR cards Wizards just bought on the open market. Upper Deck has been doing this for years with sports cards.

While I remain skeptical, supposedly this isn't a reprint, but an actual old card inserted into the pack.
The Reserved list is a promise from WOTC that they won't print any more of those cards. It says nothing about taking pre-existing cards and inserting them into/back into booster packs.
I guess we'll find out in a day and a half. I suspect troll/hoax until I see with my own eyes someone at my prerelease stand up with a really old card in hand from their pack, and even then I'll be doubtful (it'd be easy enough to fake. Hell, I could bring a FoW and do it myself, if I wanted to risk getting yelled at/thrown from the tournament).
OMG, OMG, OMG! I so want this to be real. My only question is where did this old stuff come from? Like did Wizards buy up old ones or did they just print more?

They have an uncut sheet of Beta framed in their office. I'm sure they have more (probably uncut) around.
All we need is one legit, confirmed instance of someone pulling outright Power, and Zendikar will be so impossible to find it'll make m10 look like it was just laying around on shelves.
actually the reserved list just stops cards from being printed again, not distributed, if there was a crate of old cards and wizards just placed them in new boosters, it would not compromise the reserved list. i can say Bravo for keeping this a secret wizards. i mean the prerelease is tomorrow and we didnt find out till now.
Wow, you have quite a sharp eye. I missed that completely...

I will be the best or I will die trying to be the best; there is no middle ground for me. I will play against those with experience, abilities, and resources far superior to my own and though I may lose, I will learn. Every victory is a lesson, and every lesson pulls me a few strides closer to true understanding. I am unrelenting and far more persistent than most can bear. You may love me or hate me, but you will remember me when I have achieved success. - Kyle Layne Turner
If anyone ever opens Power - I mean card ONE - there will not BE any boxes for sale anywhere. Or packs. Stores will just open them all themselves and sell singles.
So.... reaaaaalllly hoping no Power. Best thing WotC can do is, Sat evening, once the furor has died down, post an official repackage list to reassure people no Power, no Bazaars, no Libraries, nothing worth more than $50. So that ZEN pack sales won't cease to exist.
(I mean, not like WotC would care... they'd still make the same amt. of money. But dammit, I *like* packs!)
While it would be nice to crack a Zen pack and pull a Black Lotus or something I find this extremely unlikely. I highly doubt Wizards has crates and crates of old backstock just laying around waiting to be put into packs at random.
I read in another site (ManaNation?) that the guy sleeved the card to "prevent the kids in the store to accidentaly damaging it". I guess this won't be confirmed 'till Wizards goes on the record saying "Surprise!"
What about non-english boxes? For instance, in Italy magic has arrived officially with revised, so arabian nights/antiquities/unlimited never got translated into italian. If this is true, and you can find cards from those sets in a booster, would they put english text cards into non-english boosters? If so, i would buy at least one box, but i'm very skeptical about it...
