Damn I wish I could find the video. It is legit. It is from channel fireball and it's a guy that is a lead designer mtg giving a brief over the history and flavor of the cards from start to m13. He does reference the treasure packs. I am trying to find it now and will link it when I do.

You mean the Aaron Forsythe video? If it had Tristan Shaun Gregson in it, the video is gone (for obvious reasons).

Yep that's the one it's a long video but good he goes over all the sets and there macanics. It's called from ravnica to ravnica or something with that title. There is a part where he talks about puting old cards in new packs.

Woah, this escalated a lot in the past couple hours.

Not really was a good discussion I believe. My feelings aren't hurt and hope no one else's are. IMO its good to have all different people and walks of life to share
No hurt feelings here, and none intended.

@{Teror00456} can you upload the pic?  I'd love to see.

Are the cards near mint?  or are they weathered a little?

I'd say seen a little play Atleast...
Looked around online most of the day and from what I can find ANY of these "hidden treasures" that have been found have seen Atleast a little bit of play or wear of some kind. Which leads my to believe that either
A. Blackjester was right and someone's deck ended up in the packing machine
Or
B. Wizards bought cards from SCG or someone of the like and pulled a Publicity stunt to raise sales on Zendikar without having to over push advertising on the product more then normal
Or
C. Wizards employes went stupid and found sheets of cards packed away somewhere that wherent supposed to be and said "hey!!! Whoops let's get these out now!!"
Lol

BlackJester

I vote A.  Seems most likely.   :)

personally I think they would have done something like that to raise sales .. I know if I had a lot of money I would buy 20 or more first print zendikar boxes just to see if I would get one .. but that's just my opinion .. I doubt they were accidentally put in though

This.

I'd be a nice perk, but you'd get a better return on investment with a lottory ticket.  ;)

I'd do it just because I love Zendikar like that but then again I I had money like that I'd just buy a box of revised or beta if I could 😏

there's no fun in that 😏 I make enough money to buy the cards I need for standard yet I still spend most of my magic money (girl does not approve lol) on packs/boxes

BlackJester

20 boxes is a lot of jingle.

Ok y'all I am gonna see if this rumor is true or not. I am in front of my LGS as of this very moment and I am about to walk in and buy the last 2 {Zendikar Booster Boxes} they have. They are being sold for $135 ea out the door so that's not that bad, and we'll see what happens, and I will post all of the Rares I pulled. Talk to y'all soon.
