The first list of Reserved Cards included: Wizards of the Coast reserved the right to continue to print non-standard versions of cards for sale or promotional use, such as factory sets and oversized cards. Accordingly, WotC decided to expand their previous policies by creating a new category of cards, called "Reserved Cards," that they would never print again in black or white border in game-functionally identical form.
However, it was later recognized that much of the collectibility of a Magic card also was determined by its availability for game-play purposes. The purpose of these policies was to make the black-bordered, limited-edition versions of Magic cards as collectible as possible. It had also been their policy never to reprint with a black border any previously published Magic card which had identical art and card power. It had always been the policy of WotC to print any functionally novel card with a black border before or at the same time as it was printed with a white border. The Reserved List was created in the wake of the protests of Magic card collectors and players when a lot of their cards had been devalued with the release of Fourth Edition and Chronicles. The restriction also does not apply on non-redeemable digital cards in Magic Online or MTG Arena. Wizards of the Coast has and may continue to print special versions of cards not meant for regular gameplay, such as oversized cards. All policies apply only to tournament-legal Magic cards in printed form.The reprint policy applies to both English and non-English cards.
CARRION COVER ART ORIGINAL UPDATE
In November 2022, alongside their article back-end update many articles, including the reprint policy site and many references to the Reserved List, were accidentally removed. The Reprint Policy featuring the Reserved List was first published by Wizards of the Coast on March 4, 1996, was revised in 2002 and again in 2010. The Reserved List is a list of Magic: The Gathering cards that will never be reprinted in order to preserve their value on the secondary market.
