Is there an umbrella term (like borderless) for special foil treatments? Can we as a society please create one? I want a one word prefix on foil that means Step-and-Compleat, Surge, Mana, Etched, Galaxy, or Rainbow.

I wish WOTC would just concede that Scryfall is such a perfect website for the cataloguing of their game that they should be helping them by providing accurate image and card data on release.
This happens a lot with Secret Lairs where the collector numbers are not shown, images are not provided, and the secret bonus cards are not disclosed. Missing data will happen and until we have them, we really appreciate when people are patient (or helpful) until they're found and added to the site.
We also literally only found out today whether they even have different collector numbers, which we were waiting to find out.

I am completely horrified that this happened. Andy, please reach out to me if there is anything I or CubeCon can do to help make this right!
I had 100 Ornithopters in the open play area at Cube Con and looking through the cube after the weekend to see the 3-0 alters I was heartbroken to find that someone drew OVER @klugalters.bsky.social's incredible Ornithopter. I assume someone thought it was just a different printing of the card? 😭😭😭
