    Here are the examples, so far, that I think we have been shown to be Eternal legal cards:

    Not this one actually, see the post further below:


    But these two are:

    How does Saw in Half interact with something like Death's Shadow? Do you get two */* tokens?

    I'm not exactly sure, but it might only consider what the values are when the spell resolves?

    Apparently (and not shockingly) they made a mistake, the Water Gun Balloon card is not Eternal Legal:

    Death's Shadow isn't actually */*, so won't need clarification. Anything that is */* has an ability that sets the power and toughness, and both the tokens would have the same ability, which I think would override the halving.

    And I was going to say about pink...

    You might be right there, those cases have always confused me, honestly.

    Yeah, I should have seen that off the bat, but my brain saw "token" and immediately stopped reading.

    I was too irritated by the Teddy creature type to notice the pink. Besides, who normally gives a shit about the color of a token?

    What a shit show. Without reading the text on the card, the difference between legal and not legal is a 1/4" symbol at the bottom of the card that we'd previously been conditioned to ignore (and which has, many times, not been present when intended).

    Not legal vs legal vs legal

    Agreed. And it also ignores the elephant in the room - people don't want other people to play illegal cards - even in casual formats. Silver-boarded cards may be black-bordered now, but people will still tell you to fuck off if you try to play them.

    Oh nice, I've been wondering when the weekly middle finger from WotC was coming.

    Can't wait for the u-turn after people beat each other up at commander rounds over this.

    No, they'll just say "rule 0" and just handwave format management as usual.

    Community management never works out in the long run.
    However wizzards can't keep from fucking it up either.
    What a clown world.

    I don't see why they can't put silver border and black border in the same pack.
    Like they already did

    That would probably require 2 separate sheets for every rarity which they can't be bothered with.
    They would also manage to screw it up somehow, I'm rather sure.

    Counterpoint: does it?
    Are you telling me it's not possible to put black and silver borders on the same sheet?
    And before you answer remember Steamflogger Boss

    Was he on the same sheet though?

    Technically, it should be obviously possible but wizards being wizards.....

    There were also cases of misprints in the past where the cards where just blank with a black border.

    Who knows?

    Still doesn't change the fact that it's stupid as hell.

    Probably easy as hell to manipulate the little safety emblem thingies.

    Well boss was the only black bordered card in the set so it had to be on SOME sheet....

    After some googling I found this:

    Steamflogger boss has 1/121 chance to replace the land in an unstable booster. So the odds for getting that, and having it be foil is whatever the chance for foil is * 1/121 I'd belive it's somewhere between 1/1000 or 1/500.
    I guess it was on the basic sheet which would be still weird as they were borderless.
