Building The Deck Zack Fairs ability to pass on counters is limited by the fact that he has to die to do so, and a single +1/+1 counter isnt valuable enough to deal with the growing commander tax as you loop casting and sacrificing him
So for some of the rares, it is possible that the number of copies still surviving today may in fact be closer to zero
The gold variant is slightly easier to find, with a pull rate of around 1/809, though that still makes it rarer than nearly any other card in the expansion
These errors are more common than some of the exotic categories we have discussed, but they are still genuinely rare in the context of overall production volumes, and they carry a distinctive appeal for collectors who appreciate the cognitive dissonance of a holo that is not actually holographic
Remember, the world of collectible cards is ever-changing, so staying informed is key to making the most of your collection.
