*While it was thought Wizards were up to their old tradition of duplicating the rare cards in this set, it was actually MediaFactory this time; Wizards simply translated the set. The reason for this was that some rare cards had Dot-Code data, therefore they made non-holofoil versions with the data and holofoil versions without. This avoided potentially damaging sought-after rare cards when swiped through the e-Reader. | *While it was thought Wizards were up to their old tradition of duplicating the rare cards in this set, it was actually MediaFactory this time; Wizards simply translated the set.

*Expedition once again featured Reverse-holofoil cards, but the design was changed from the "wheel" treatment (which was reminiscent of European fake holofoil designs) to a plain "refractor" design. They are more "official" looking than the ones found in {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}. One problem brought to Wizard's attention was that both the holofoil and non-holofoil rare cards had identical reverse-holofoil counterparts | *Expedition once again featured Reverse-holofoil cards, but the design was changed from the "wheel" treatment (which was reminiscent of European fake holofoil designs) to a plain "refractor" design. They are more "official" looking than the ones found in {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}. One problem brought to Wizard's attention was that both the holofoil and non-holofoil rare cards had identical reverse-holofoil counterparts. Wizards rectified this in Aquapolis and Skyridge by numbering the holofoil cards differently and only producing a reverse-holofoil version of non-holo rares. | ||
*[[Box topper]]s once again appeared in this set. Like Legendary Collection, they are jumbo cards (therefore not tournament legal). Unlike Legendary Collection and the EX series, the box toppers were part of a sub-set (the cards numbered ##/12). The first 4 appeared in this set, the other 8 were released in {{TCG|Aquapolis}} and {{TCG|Skyridge}} respectively. | *[[Box topper]]s once again appeared in this set.
