What is that foil oval on cards?
Asked by MightyMongoose 9 years ago
At the bottom of some cards there is a foil oval. Example: Waste Not. Is this just decoration or does it signify something?
It most commonly appears on rares and mythic rares, but also on certain promotional cards like the Ugin's Fate promos. The next closest thing to a purpose is to quickly differentiate a promo common or uncommon from the regular booster one.

The little oval is stamped onto Rares and Mythics now in an attempt to stymie Counterfeiting. It serves no purpose for actual play.
