Picture
  • Sleeve Name: Sphere of the Suns / Basic Streamer?
  • Release Date: Unknown, sometime in 2019 or 2020?
  • Acquired From: Unknown
  • Info:  I have no idea what this Sleeve is from. It was sent to me by someone who pulled a bunch of image assets out of the game for sleeve art. The file name included the wording "basic streamer". I'm guessing this was given to streamers, but I have never seen it used on any streams I watch.  The card art is from Sphere of the Suns, originally printed in Mirrordin Besieged, and reprinted again in Modern Masters 2015. If anyone has any info on this, I would greatly appreciate it. For all I know, it could just be a neglected asset in the game files that was never used.

These were obtained by any MTG purchase or by playing MTG at y our LGS or online (if the LGS supported it). You were able to choose either the cat or dog sleeve available that week. Each choice of a cat or dog were tallied up from each week to declare which was more superior. Results were released at the release of JumpStart. More information on this promotion can be found HERE.

Regarding the "Cat Token", it's original "printing" is from Apocalypse. It was released only on Magic Online for the card Penumbra Bobcat. This token never had a physical printed card. Penumbra Bobcat has been reprinted for JumpStart, but still a physical token does not exist due to JumpStart not having any tokens in that set's booster packs.

April Fools!

This was sent to me by keen eyed reader. He stated he saw this as the default card back for April 1, 2020 this year.

In any case, it's pretty fun! We should all keep our eyes opened for April 1 pranks from now on!

Stores that are part of the WPN were given codes to give out to players when they posted game play screenshots via their LGS's social media outlets.

Early 2019
Embossed Mana Symbols

These were one of the early sleeve bundles available on Arena, which players could purchase in the Arena store until May 23, 2019. They were available for 10,000 gold for all 5, making them one of the most expensive and rare sleeves available due to it being harder to farm gold at the time. Now we really don't think too much of 2,000 gold per sleeve.

Miscellaneous Sleeves

Country Flags

WotC Gives out flag sleeves to live streamers as well as codes for them to give the same sleeves away during their live streams. You don't see these very often except typically during large streamed competitions.

5/16/20 Update: These flags were later released on the Arena Daily Deals for 1,500 gold / 300 gems each. This brought the average price of sleeve down from $5.63 to $4.30.

Gingerbread: 2018 Holiday Pauper Event
The gingerbread "sleeve" is actually just an alternate card back used during the Holiday Pauper Event from December 2018.

Alpha/Beta Card Backs

​Closed Beta Test Card Backs

This default looking card back was similar to one used during the Arena Closed Beta period. The MTG logo was in yellow, and they had removed the Deckmaster wording from the bottom of the card.

According to Jasonofindy "I’ve seen two other card backs used in either closed alpha or closed beta footage. One was a bright red or orange Planeswalker symbol over a drab green or brown background. The other was a gold circle or medallion of some sort over a green background."
