The playtest card Boneyard Aberration is being printed digitally in Jumpstart Horizons. It's a digital-only black bordered equivalent to the playtest card Bone Rattler with some minor rebalancing.

Similarly, the silver-bordered Giant Fan was later reprinted in black border as Power Conduit with some minor rules tweaking and rebalancing.

What other playtest cards from the Mystery Booster set or silver-bordered cards from the Unsets were later printed (possibly with balance or rules tweaks) in a black bordered set?

    I'm not sure I would count the last one, as the +1.5/+1.5 lord boost is as least as important to the card as the threaten trigger, and Recruiter doesn't have that Aug 13, 2021 at 13:58
  • @ArcanistLupus I agree with that assessment - to steal a symbol from math, maybe we could use the ⫊ symbol to show that a subset of the card is approximately equal to it?

    @toroid maybe, but in this case it feels misleading, because the equal portion was entirely black border legal when printed, and the part that was left out was the silverbordered component Aug 13, 2021 at 15:46
  • @Arcanist Ah, I agree with that

There are probably quite a few more that I can't think of right now, so I've marked this as a Community Wiki answer.

  • Angelic Rocket to Meteor Golem doesn't really fit here. It's mechanically similar, but all of the parts that are the same already existed in black border at the time Angelic Rocket was printed, just not with that exact wording. The only silver bordered part of Angelic Rocket was the host/augment mechanic, and Meteor Golem doesn't have that.

  • The asker did not specify that they were looking for new mechanics- just balance or rules tweaks. @toroid - what do you think please?
