The Steward of Valeron was given at different conventions or events in Europe. For some reasons the foil Spanish Senescal de Valeron (Steward of Valeron) wasn't printed. 2009 PROMOS ART (1/1)  Steward of Valeron full art by Greg Staples. *Dengeki Character Festival 2009 was held in Chiba-ken Makuhari Messe Japan on October 03-04, 2009.

What some people found, however, was a special promotional card, with a mysterious string of numbers on the back. The card, purportedly illustrated by rk post, and the serial number on the back, was in fact the first piece of a viral marketing campaign led by Wizards to promote their new multiplayer set, Conspiracy. MTG CONSPIRACY Magister of Worth It was supposed to be a routine pre-release tournament for a small set in the middle of winter. These things usually go according to plan. You get your packs, build your pool, play a few rounds of sealed with an inordinate amount of judge calls, and finally you hope to go home with a few extra boosters in your backpack. But this weekend was a little bit different. Wizards decided to throw a little viral marketing into the Born of the Gods tournaments this weekend, slipping a promo card with a strange expansion symbol into a very small number of pre-release packs. Initially, a store in the Philippines shared these images on their Facebook page. The initial responses from the community shouldn’t be too surprising. There was a healthy mix of doubt and excitement. Within a few hours though, the doubters were silenced as the legitimacy of the card became apparent when the serial number on the back was deciphered. As the weekend went on, several more copies of the card popped up across the world including one in London which, at the time of writing was being offered on eBay for $1,000 (free shipping). Cogwork Librarian Things started to get really interesting though when the serial number was revealed to actually be a telephone number 14252042672. 425 is the area code for phone numbers in the same town as Wizards is headquartered, suburbs of Seattle, WA. Upon calling the number, a string of characters was provided to you (spacing courtesy of Gathering Magic): vqwahuuxuhuy4xumhoxgmgupxmcubgby amucgmuqxomgvzavuwaheuxuhxyoxgebbx jrvduuxomxgxuurvcnxruuxomxyxuuhmh vyxagxuuoqvnmdxmevvjmputxgwhorvbuvtc mgzkvqwaheqxuhxuhumvmvxmevvjmpqtxgw 3/3 gvyjthqxgr Wizards of The Coast - Crypto Broken Link Wizards of The Coast - Crypto - Wayback Machine This turned out to be a cryptogram, with the numbers helping to clue people into the fact that it was a creature card of some sort. The fine folks at the Magic forums on Something Awful did a lot of legwork to de-crypt the card. The cipher was a very straightforward character shift (Wizards didn’t want to make anything too challenging it seems) and the card translates to this: Cogwork Librarian {4} Artifact Creature – Construct Draft Cogwork Librarian face up. As you draft a card you may draft an additional card from that booster pack. If you do, put Cogwork Librarian into that booster pack. 3/3 Conspiracy Obviously this only created more questions than answers, and people turned to several official channels to get the answers they really wanted. The official responses were coy, as expected. Worth Wollpert, on Reddit, simply commented, “hmm.” Over on Mark Roserwater’s tumblr page, his comment was simply, “There is no card called Magister of Worth in Born of the Gods.” Some more quick sleuthing turned out that a year ago, Wizards registered a trademark for Magic: the Gathering – CONSPIRACY. Speculation is now running rampant that this is the new summer multiplayer set, and will likely be scheduled to come out before Magic 2015 (since it will be using the old card frame, as evidenced by Magister of Worth). From the cards spoiled, it seems safe to say that the set is both meant for multi-player action and meant to be drafted. There are lots of questions and we’ll just have to wait for answers. In the meantime, bravo to Wizards for another well executed viral marketing campaign. They don’t do these very often, but when they do, it’s a lot of fun. The first one that I can recall was for Planar Chaos, the small winter set in the Time Spiral block. On January 1st, ahead of the release, an image of a 9th Edition Wrath of God appeared on the Daily MTG homepage. A few seconds later it transformed into Damnation. It was an exciting little easter-egg that built up anticipation for the new set. Magister of Worth and Cogwork Librarian should do the same for Conspiracy. The exact number of the Magister of Worth Promo released with the phone on the back is unknown, but according to my sources at least 20 should exist. They made around 20 and released 10 or more. The supposed other 10 were "held back" as they weren't sure if releasing 10 was enough for anyone to mention anything and make a big buzz about it since no one made any official announcements of any sort. No one is sure about the 10 that didn't get released. They may still be at Wizards or in the wild.   Magister of Worth Special Promo front and back. The phone number on the back of the left Magister of Worth is offset more to the right than any other seen. This was probably the first one they attempted to stamp with their typewriter like device and adjusted to the left their start point for the first digit on all the rest to keep the full phone number more centered on the back of the card.
