With the release of Zendikar Rising just over the horizon, we’ve created a comprehensive breakdown of each of the variants and printings for all cards associated with this set. We’ll cover some frequently asked questions about Zendikar Rising, then go through all the cards in numerical order.

Q: Where can I find the cards from the Commander Decks?
A: Cards that were printed for Zendikar Rising will be in Zendikar Rising. Older reprints that were slotted into the Commander Decks will be able to be found in Commander: Zendikar Rising as they have a unique set abbreviation (ZNC) and set symbol.

Q: Why can’t I list the Buy-a-Box Orah, Skyclave Heirophant Promo Card?
A: Due to concerns from Sellers and Wizards of the Coast’s policy, this card will not be available to list until release day (Sept. 25).

Q: How can I tell if a card is a Variant Card in the Seller Portal?
A: All variant cards feature their Variant Type in parentheses after the card name. Examples of these will be (Showcase) and (Extended Art). When exporting Inventory and sorting by card number, all Variants will be above card number 280.

Zendikar Rising: The List

 

TCGplayer Set Name: The List

In order to make The List work well with the existing Catalog, we have set up the below guidelines:

  • If the card was previously printed as a non-foil only Mystery Booster Card, it will not be added to The List (this would duplicate the card in the Catalog) - List with caution as copies of these cards are already in the wild, and can not be presold. The complete list of these are:
    • Living Death (Masters 25) - Can be found in Set: Mystery Booster Cards
    • Boros Challenger (Guilds of Ravnica) - Can be found in Set: Mystery Booster Cards
    • Snubhorn Sentry (Rivals of Ixalan) - Can be found in Set: Mystery Booster Cards
  • If the card was previously printed as a foil-only Mystery Booster Retail Exclusive, it will not be added to The List (this would separate printings of the same card in the Catalog) - The non-foil printings will not be listable until release day (Sept. 25), and can not be presold. The complete list of these are:
    • Scourge of the Throne (Conspiracy) - Foil can be found in Set: Mystery Booster: Retail Exclusives
    • Helix Pinnacle (Eventide) - Foil can be found in Set: Mystery Booster: Retail Exclusives
    • Memnite (Scars of Mirrodin) - Foil can be found in Set: Mystery Booster: Retail Exclusives
    • Maelstrom Nexus (Alara Reborn) - Foil can be found in Set: Mystery Booster: Retail Exclusives
    • Springjack Shepherd (Eventide) - Foil can be found in Set: Mystery Booster: Retail Exclusives

Promo Pack: Zendikar Rising

 

TCGplayer Set Name: Promo Pack: Zendikar Rising
Cards for this promo pack will include:

  • One stamped rare/mythic from Zendikar Rising (excluding modal double-faced cards)
    • Planeswalker symbol foil-stamped
    • Variant treatments will NOT be in promo packs
  • One stamped rare/mythic from a curated list (including Modern- and Commander-focused cards)
    • There will be overlap with previous curated lists. Because of this overlap, we will only be adding the NEW promos to a set called Promo Pack: Zendikar Rising. This is because the cards are sorted into sets based on where the card could FIRST be located. As there is no difference between the versions that are in ALL previous Promo Packs, inventorying the items where they FIRST appear helps keep new items more orderly.
  • One dark frame common/uncommon card from a curated list (five total numbered 387–391)
    One Arena Promo card granting an in-game pack (Regional; Where Arena is not available, Promo Pack: Zendikar Rising will be three cards.)


Please note: Due to issues with Wizards of the Coast’s Retailer Agreement, the Buy-A-Box Promo will not be listed until closer to release day.
