Tuned list · prices as of
Gold-border (World Championship deck) and similar printings have non-standard backs/borders and are generally not tournament legal in sanctioned or community Premodern events; check your event's rules. They're often cheaper for casual play. Bling never uses them. The Mass Entry link searches by card name, so pick printings at checkout.
