Description

Playtest card used at the event.

The event cards feature playtest stickers, looking and functioning like the test cards of the Mystery Booster set. Being playtest stickers, the cards have no art, artist credits, or Collector number, and are marked with internal card codes. In contrast to the Philadelphia event cards, Minneapolis cards have a regular, colored card frame, colored mana symbols in their casting cost, a rarity indicator where the expansion symbol would normally be located, and a Power/Toughness box. A total of 62 new cards were designed for this event, as well as 11 planes.
