Pattern Types

  • superfractor — The 1-of-1 chase card — a single gold-mirrored copy. Always the rarest, most-hunted parallel in the set.
  • plain — Standard solid-color refractor with no special pattern — the workhorse of the parallel ladder.
  • frozen — Crystalline ice-blue refractor effect, usually a low-print Tier 1 chase (/5 to /10).
  • wave — Flowing wave-pattern refractor. Available across most of the color ladder, /5 up to /250.
  • pulsar — Tightly-packed circular dot pattern that pulses under light. Most often seen in Green or Pink at /25–/79.
