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.

✦ Bling build ~$7,502
First original foil printing of every card
Same 75 as Full in each card’s first original foil printing: the earliest foil from an original 4th Edition–Scourge set (foils began with Urza’s Legacy, 1999); else its Judge Gift foil; else its original printing, non-foil. No later reprints, Guru/APAC/Euro lands, Secret Lair, theme decks or other promos. Purely aspirational; it plays identically to Full.
