While the article leads to more questions than answers, it clarifies this version of a playtest card is created in a brand-new way, unlike the ones seen in Mystery Booster products or Gavin Verheys special events at MagicCons

That variant of the card currently sits at an $8.50 market average, continuing to climb

Note that its a little different than something like Ghostly Prison, because if your opponent is forced to attack you, they dont get the option to opt out

Manifesting dread can put any card face-down, so not only are you not sure what youll be attacking into, you dont even know if it can flip at all in the first place
