Cards, Printings & Copies

Cards

A card is the game concept itself: the name, rules text, type, domains, stats, and keywords. It exists independent of any particular set or art treatment. "Fury Rune" is a card no matter how many times it has been printed.

In the browser, Cards view shows one entry per unique card, regardless of how many printings exist. This is the best view for answering "do I have this card at all?" If a card appears in multiple sets, it is still one card. The detail panel shows all available printings under Printings.

Printings

A printing is a specific physical version of a card. It belongs to a set (like Origins or Spiritforged) and has its own short code, rarity, finish (normal or foil), art variant, artist, language, and printed text. The same card can have many printings across different sets, and each printing has its own image and market price.

Every printing has a short code visible at the bottom left of the physical card, like SFD-R01b. Two printings can share the same short code and still be different (for example, a normal finish and a foil finish, or a special promo edition). OpenRift treats each unique combination of short code, finish, art variant, language, and promo type as its own printing.

Printed text can also vary between printings: some alt art cards omit reminder text, and newer printings may have updated wording after an errata. Flavor text can differ too.

In the browser, Printings view shows every version separately, each with its own image, rarity, and price. Use this when you care about specific editions.

Copies

A copy is a single physical card you own. When you add a card to your collection, you are adding a copy of a specific printing. If you own three of the same foil printing, that is three copies. In the real world, each copy could have its own condition details (like a PSA grading or a coffee stain), but we don't track those yet.

In your collection, Copies view shows every individual copy as its own entry, with no stacking. Where the other views show a count badge like ×3, Copies view shows three separate cards on the grid.
