When looking for a specific effect in a color as part of a color combination, I often combine color requirements, e.g. "ci<=bur ci>=u", which finds all blue cards in the Grixis shard (so U, UB, UR, and UBR cards).
wait, wait, I usually use "is:booster", and the result is DIFFERENT
I know Hinterland Sanctifier is in one of the jumpstart packs, but I have no idea why it's "in the set" here.I tried this out for Foundations and found that the following 12 cards are part of the set but not in boosters: (game

surely the difference is at most marginal...wait, wait, I usually use "is:booster", and the result is DIFFERENT
...no, I don't know either. Well, beyond "fancy alternate art is included in the latter".
The difference is because "is:booster" will OK the card if it has ever shown up in a booster in any set, while "in:booster" appears to be more specific to the set itself (at least, that's what it looks like after playing around a bit).
To see this, search for "Angelic Destiny" in:booster and then for "Angelic Destiny" is:booster. The first search should give you the Foundations version of the card (since that was the most recent time it was in a booster), while the second search will give you the Magic 2012 version of the card (since that was the last time it showed up as part of a standard draft booster).
As for why those twelve specific cards aren't "in:booster" for Foundations... I don't know, but if I had to hazard a guess it's because they're cards that only appear in the Starter Set and Beginner's Box and that have never appeared in a normal booster slot in any set they've been in. That feels like unintended behavior (as far as I can tell Angelic Destiny shouldn't be in:booster because it's just in the Starter Set), but I blame that on the set being weirdly massive.

Is by chance anyone here attending the Cube Open potsdam in january? It's like the Cubecon in the US, just here in germany and I guess not quite as big but there are two dates each year, the other one being in hamburg. I'll go for the first time next month. Fingers crossed my cube gets chosen for any kind of event.

It's sold out but there is a waiting list in case some people get sick or something. Would still recommend registering.
