Type [[Card name]] in your posts and comments and CardBot will reply with a link to the card! More info here.
Long story short: Starting with Wilds of Eldraine, duplicate protection for rare and mythic rare "reprints" (existing cards reappearing in a newer set) will apply regardless of the artwork; if you have four copies of a card in your collection, any additional versions will be duplicate protected as a reprint.
This is MASSIVE. I have hated the current system of accumulating duplicate rares every time wizards decides to reprint a rare, especially lands.
It's pretty great! I am hoping there's a way to get reprint art that isn't just getting "lucky" in draft/sealed or total set completion, but this is definitely a big improvement for general playability/accessibility (that should've been implemented ages ago, but c'est la vie).
What do you mean? You don't like having 12 copies of [[Thalia, Guardian of Thraben]]?
lol it is actually always Thalia that I see in my collection that re-triggers me
