Duskmourn: House of Horror was the first to include Japan Showcase cards, to cater to the competitive Japanese TCG market.[1]
Description
Cards in this Showcase feature art from Japanese artists and illustrators, paying homage to the art styles commonly found in Japanese hobby stores.[2] The card frame elements have been minimized to maximize the art, with no shading behind the text box as found on a borderless card. Japan Showcase cards are available in traditional foil and a new "fracture foil", where the card border has a special foil texture.
These appear exclusively in Collector Boosters. In Japanese Collector Boosters, Japan Showcase cards will always be in Japanese. In non-Japanese Collector Boosters, they will appear in English two thirds of the time and in Japanese one third of the time.
All Japan Showcase cards have the mythic rarity, which may differ from the rarity of the default printing.
