About 3 months ago I decided to take matters into my own hands a bit. I decided to buy a custom card from a UK-based eBay seller, intending to mail it to her eventually and hoping for a TTM auto. That plan changed recently when I was looking at horror conventions in Indiana. Sure enough, Heather was going to be at a convention about 20 minutes from my house. I bought tickets for a photo op because I wanted to have the memory documented. My 9-year-old and I set out this morning to try to get my card signed. I had never been to a horror convention before today. It's an interesting sort of event, but in a very cool way.
All in all, we got to chat with Heather 3 different times, and she was an absolute sweetheart. Made my childhood crush feel warranted after all these years
She remembered our names each time and talked to my son (he wears glasses) about how old she was when she first got glasses and how that went. She asked what other movies we're into, and I told her my favorite franchises are the Nightmare franchise and the Alien franchise, and how she and Sigourney Weaver are the best heroines in movies, in my mind. She told me how much she loves Sigourney too. She was just the absolute best possible celebrity interaction I could have imagined. I made sure to tell my son how not all celebrities are like her and how special it is that she's so down to earth. He became a big fan today too (even though he hasn't seen any of her movies yet).
And here's the finished product. I don't think it could have turned out any better.

Today, Upper Deck launched a campaign that is a nod to the initial ‘Trade Jordan’ rollout, but with the opposite message: “You Don’t Trade Greatness, You Keep it for a Lifetime,” announcing the expansion of the relationship and naming Michael Jordan as Upper Deck’s first Legacy Partner.
To commemorate this monumental milestone, Upper Deck has developed two unique programs:
(1) 23 factory-sealed packs from the coveted 1986-87 Fleer Basketball trading card set (where Michael Jordan’s iconic rookie card may be found) have been acquired through a buyback program, and each pack is autographed by Michael Jordan, with one pack featuring a 1-of-1 inscription “Rookie Pack,” then all inserted into a new trading card set—the 2026 Goodwin Champions.
(2) Upper Deck has collaborated with eBay to auction a one-of-a-kind full box of 1986-87 Fleer Basketball that features Jordan’s exclusive autograph, and a similar inscription “Rookie Card Box,” connecting the two programs. Ten percent of the auction proceeds will benefit Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
“We are honored that Michael Jordan continues to choose Upper Deck as his partner. For more than three decades we’ve worked with Michael to fundamentally change the collectibles industry. We bring the most sought-after trading cards and memorabilia to fans around the world as the only pieces guaranteed to feature his authentic autograph,” said Jason Masherah, President of Upper Deck.
“I’m proud to be Upper Deck’s first Legacy Partner. For more than 30 years, this partnership has been about creating something different – cards and memorabilia collectors can’t find anywhere else. I’m looking forward to what comes next,” said Michael Jordan.
This historical partnership has shaped the sports memorabilia landscape since the original exclusive agreement between Upper Deck and Michael Jordan in 1991 and continues to evolve, including ever-growing commitment to combat counterfeit collectibles and to protect the authenticity of Michael Jordan’s autograph.
The campaign “You Don’t Trade Greatness, You Keep it for a Lifetime,” contains multiple unique meanings. Michael Jordan collectibles are about more than trading and selling; they are about creating connections, forming identities and sharing the passion of these collectibles with generations to come. It also reflects the historical data that Michael Jordan collectibles have become more and more treasured because of Upper Deck’s commitment to protecting the exclusivity and authenticity, innovation and high-quality standards in its exclusive Michael Jordan products.
Upper Deck is a global entertainment company creating trading cards, memorabilia, collectibles, games, and online platforms that deliver the experiences collectors crave. Upper Deck has set the unmatched industry standard for quality, authenticity, and innovation and continues to bring generations of fans closer to their favorite athletes and characters with unique and authentic sports and entertainment product offerings, as well as its digital trading ecosystem. The company prides itself on creating collectibles that produce invaluable experiences for sports and entertainment’s most dedicated and loyal fans, with a goal to deliver excellence to the community across the most coveted properties as a means to develop memorable moments for collectors of all kinds.

The billboard was later replaced with imagery of Michael Jordan Upper Deck trading cards, boldly promoting the then-two-time NBA champion’s new licensing agreement with Upper Deck, making him the company’s first exclusive basketball spokesperson and granting Upper Deck exclusive rights to produce his authenticated, autographed collectibles.

The following cards are banned in Rush of Ikorr constructed play. This means that none of these cards may be registered in decklists for sanctioned events.
Banned
Amaterasu’s Dawn
Amaterasu’s Dawn
It is without question that a lot of the strongest effects in the game are SUMMON abilities. This is by design of course, but poses a challenge when considering cost reducers, keywords like Reanimate, or effects like Amaterasu’s Dawn that allow these abilities to retrigger. When initially balancing Amaterasu’s Dawn, the development team thought its influence cost was prohibitive enough to print. Now that the card has had plenty of time to find its place in the meta and the addition of powerful SUMMON retriggers in Luminary Strike, the context of the card’s power has drastically changed. Its influence cost of 6 is inconsequential, and its effect leads to deterministic wins a bit earlier than we want for the combo archetype. In addition to a guaranteed victory, the steps the combo must take involve long turns with many game actions that cannot be interrupted or interacted with. The combo potential is even more efficient in multiplayer with more resources available at once for players. Due to its powerful effect, efficiency in multiplayer, and ability to create uninteractable deterministic wins a little too quickly, Amaterasu’s Dawn is banned.
