This is ONLY for Universes Beyond cards sold through Secret Lair, and not for the ones that will be in full sets. And they don't plan to go back and do this for The Walking Dead cards.
To that last point: Implementing something similar to this with The Walking Dead isn’t off the table in the future. We want to use this new Secret Lair drop as a way to gauge feedback, gather your responses, listen, and see if it’s the kind of thing that makes sense before diving in and creating in-universe Magic versions of the cards you saw in The Walking Dead.
It seems like a lot of people are responding well to this plan from what we're reading this morning, but we also recognize there's a lot of feedback to take in and absorb. So please, keep letting us know!
"As part of The List" does not fill me with optimism in regards to their availability.
Flexibility is one of the primary reasons we are using The List as a better way to get more copies out into the world. With The List, we can include these cards in booster releases for as long as we think players are looking for them.
Additionally, once we've created in-Magic versions of these cards, they would also be eligible to be put into other reprint products down the line.
