I hadn't logged into my MTGO account in several months. Logged in tonight and saw several cards changed from their normal sets to the promo versions of them. I know I never owned any promo version of cards previously so I'm confused as to how they would have changed...is this possibly a bug with the client? I'm currently on Beta 3.4.82.415
Cards that changed to their promo variants:
All my swamps into extended art versions (they look similar to the Zendikar swamps)
1 x Firemane Avenger
1 x Bloodcrazed Neonate
1 x Tormented Soul
1 x Shock
1 x Zameck Guildmage
They have all turned into extended art foils.
It's cool to have some extended art promos, just curious as to how this might have happened and if it's happened to anyone else.
In you collection, try selecting Versions>Show Versions Seperately. Also, make sure the "Quantity" slider is set to a minimum of 1, so that it is only showing cards you own at least one of.
Perhaps you got those cards through Magic Online Player Rewards? The game doesn't notify you when MOPR promos are issued, they just show up in your collection.
Thank you all for the suggestions and information.
I was not aware that MTGO gave out random player rewards, that's probably what's going on.
I'm unsure of how to download the v3 client. When I decided to get back into MTGO the only option I saw was for this beta client (Isn't V3 getting shut off soon?).
I'll try playing a game later on tonight with a friend and see how the cards appear to them.
Select the option "Show versions separately" in the collection window of the beta.
If you do not, the client picks one version and displays it, with a number attached. So for me, I own 1 MED Counterspell, 1 VMA Counterspell and 1 foil VMA Counterspell. The client shows me the foil VMA counterspell with a 3 on it if I do not have that setting selected. But in games, the correct versions appear.

Or put them in a deck, play against a friend, and see how they show up to him.
