I noticed today that 2 players in a pod I was judging had foil Reflecting Pools.
Strangely, both of them had a White mana symbol foiled in behind the text box (like rav guild cards did).
I suspect there may be 5 different foilings, each with a different symbol. Could make collecting a real challenge. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Are you sure they were Reflecting Pools and not the lands from uncommon "basic type" cycle? From what I've seen, they have foil mana symbols in their text boxes...

Heh, no they were certainly Reflecting Pools. The Mistveil Plains doesn't really look similar at all.
I observed this as well: someone I know pulled a foil Reflecting Pool but it too had the Plains symbol.
I'm fairly sure that this means the foils were misprinted to have the white mana symbol, much like Hypervolt Grasp has the Gruul guild watermark instead of the Izzet.
Yeah, I randomly saw someone with one of these, saw the white mana symbol and neither of us could figure it out.

Hey, you. Yes, you reading this sig. Get off your computer, go find a copy of Skies of Arcadia: Legends and play it. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
Can someone post a pic that is attached to the thread cos I can't see the ones already on here.
Cheers,

Here ya go.
As for the Pool, I love this kind of misprint. I have to wonder if they'll fix this (probably not, but if they do we have a collector's item on our hands). Reminds me of Hypervolt Grasp to an extent.
You angry about Wizards misprinting foil chase rares instead of uncommons ? You weirdo !:D
No i just collect misprints lol, this one will be harder to get and i made a mistake Cephalid Looter is a Odyssey Common, trying to remember which one was the torment uncommon now.
that's quite cool, and interesting. i wonder why only the plains symbol. and i wonder if we'll start to see more with different mana symbols. i didn't catch anyone with these at the phoenix prerelease.
Well...... if you really want to get speculative, maybe it's a hint that Shards of Alara is a white themed set? If you look at the Shards set logo, the white chunk is centerish, and if you look at the Shards expansion symbol, there is a center chunk bigger than the side pieces. The flavor text on the pool, mentions the past (sunny Lorwyn) and the "future."
Do I believe this? No, just throwing it out their for kicks.
I bet it is a misprint, just like hypervolt grasp.
If wizards fixes this, then this foil rare will be super rare. neato.
The way it looks now, I could use a playset or two. Really good looking.

Not sure they'll be worth anything extra because of the mistake, unless only a small number have it.

You can't read the hand autograph in my sig?
Yes, he's the legendary one! Yeah, you right it's him.
It's Le_Gambit from Aether!
Check out for foil plains with no mana symbol, I bet there are some out there.
I spiffed up your pic a bit in Photoshop

If not, I don't think this is a rarity for the same reason hypervolt grasp was not a rarity
