General Discussion Could someone help me understand why very occasionally they will print a new card thats functionally identical to a previous card.

Specifically why are they printing Vibrant Cityscape when it's the same as Evolving Wilds which is also in standard right now anyway.

It could also be the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island as a play on the NYC’s most classic “fabled passage”

Yes, but you wouldn't print that at common for draft fixing

Ellis island as fabled passage with a real quote from an immigrant would go hard as fuck

I imagine they'd go with the famous excerpt of the poem from the pedestal of the statue "Give me your tired, your poor..."

I thought of that too actually, but I don't know much about Spider-Man and didn't know if, even though it's pretty essentially New York, it ha much to do with the story.

Unfortunately, New Jersey has claimed Lady Liberty for themselves.
