The other new cards are numbered #69-100. These (and the extender art versions numbered #21–68) are permitted in the Commander, Legacy, and Vintage formats. The Display commanders are numbered #121-124. Cards with the LCC set code numbered #125-370 and above are the reprints, legal for play in any format where a card with the same name is permitted. Twenty-three of the reprints have new art.
