Notes
^† A card is counted as a reprint if it was previously printed in another set—either eternal or acorn. Cards printed as gold bordered commemorative sets, oversized promos, digital-only promos, Salvat printings, and/or Foreign Black-Bordered or Foreign White-Bordered sets are not counted as reprints.
To prevent over-counting:
- A card's first printing is not counted.
- If a card is reprinted with multiple art versions in a single set, it is only counted as a reprint once.
- A card printed as part of The List is only counted once.
- A skinned card is counted as a reprint of the base card.
- Universes Beyond and Universes Within cards are considered the same card. A reprint of either version is counted as a reprint.
- Secret Lair printings are counted once per Secret Lair drop.
- Bonus cards included in a Secret Lair drop are not counted if the drop already includes that card.
