As MagicTheGathering.com readers know, during the early stages of a card's R&D life cycle it is given a playtest name. Sometimes this temporary name sticks, and winds up on the finished card. Most often it's replaced with a new name at the time it's associated with its new art.
But sometimes these replaced playtest names sneak their way back into Magic. Consider these four Mirage playtest cards and their real equivalents. Then look at the names of the playtest cards -- can you remember on what cards all those names ended up?
