Fracture Foil: MTG Japan Showcase Proxy Cards
Sixth in our series on exclusive foil treatments, and this one comes with a small naming wrinkle worth clearing up first. You'll see it on some product listings as "Fractured Foil" — a common shorthand, and the one that stuck with a lot of players and stores. Wizards of the Coast's official name for the treatment is Fracture Foil, and that's the name we're using here. It's the cracked, faceted premium finish tied to Japan Showcase cards: alternate-art Magic cards reimagined by Japanese artists and given a more textured, broken-glass style shine than a normal foil.
Fracture Foil first appeared with Japan Showcase cards in Duskmourn: House of Horror, and it has since returned in several later releases. Our stock is heaviest in three of them: Edge of Eternities, Lorwyn Eclipsed, and Magic: The Gathering | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Below are all 28 Fracture Foil cards we carry across those three sets, kept clearly separated by set so you can jump straight to the one you're after.
What Makes It Different
Where a standard foil gives you one continuous, mirror-like shimmer across the card, Fracture Foil breaks that shine up into small angular facets. Instead of the whole card catching the light at once, different parts of the frame and surface flash separately, closer to cracked glass or a fractured mirror than a smooth metallic sheet. That texture is what separates a Fracture Foil copy from the plain traditional-foil version of the same Japan Showcase artwork.
A named foil treatment is never just a shiny sticker over the artwork. The pattern is part of the card's identity, and matching how it catches the light is a different problem from matching the art underneath it. Getting there took plenty of trial and error on our end — testing different materials and different combinations of them before the shimmer and the broken-glass effect actually matched the original, instead of just looking close enough in a photo. That is the part we paid the most attention to on every card below, so look closely at how the foil behaves in each one, not just the artwork itself.
Three Sets, Kept Separate
From Edge of Eternities
Edge of Eternities took Magic to deep space, and its Japan Showcase cards got the Fracture Foil treatment right alongside the rest of the lineup. These eight are the ones we stock.
Anticausal Vestige
A colourless Eldrazi threat with Warp, letting it arrive temporarily before you commit to casting it normally. Its leave-the-battlefield value makes it far more than just a large body.
Starfield Vocalist
A trigger-doubling creature for permanents entering the battlefield, with Warp giving you the option to use it for a temporary burst before casting it for good.
Sothera, the Supervoid
A black supervoid-style payoff built around creatures dying, exile pressure, and turning a cleared battlefield into a way to bring something terrifying back.
Devastating Onslaught
A huge temporary-copy spell for artifacts or creatures, turning available mana into a sudden board explosion with haste before the copies disappear.
Mutinous Massacre
A selective board wipe that cares about odd and even mana values, then turns the remaining creatures into a temporary attack force.
The Dominion Bracelet
An equipment-style threat that starts as a power boost and eventually turns into a dramatic control effect once you are ready to pay its heavier activation cost.
The Endstone
A dangerous value engine that rewards you for playing lands and casting spells, but asks a serious price from your life total every turn.
Secluded Starforge
A colourless utility land with artifact synergies, able to turn spare artifacts into extra power or invest mana into Robot tokens later in the game.
From Lorwyn Eclipsed
Lorwyn Eclipsed returned to the Lorwyn-Shadowmoor plane, and its Japan Showcase cards reimagine familiar creatures and spells through a premium alternate-art treatment. Ten of them made it into our stock as Fracture Foil.
Winnowing
A tribal board-control spell that asks you to choose carefully, then cuts away creatures that do not match the types that matter.
Glen Elendra Guardian
A flash flying Faerie-style answer that can interfere with noncreature spells while fitting naturally into Lorwyn's creature-type-heavy world.
Harmonized Crescendo
A creature-type payoff for decks that flood the board with the same tribe, turning a wide board into a burst of card draw.
Bloodline Bidding
A tribal reanimation spell that rewards you for filling your graveyard with one creature type, then bringing that whole bloodline back at once.
Moonshadow
A dark, counter-based creature that starts restrained and grows more dangerous as the game gives it room to shed those limits.
Collective Inferno
A damage-doubling tribal payoff, built for decks that want one chosen creature type to hit much harder than normal.
Meek Attack
A repeatable way to cheat smaller creatures into play for a sudden burst of tempo, pressure, or enter-the-battlefield value.
Spinerock Tyrant
A flying Dragon payoff for single-target instants and sorceries, turning your best spells into even more pressure.
Bloom Tender
A two-mana mana creature that taps for one mana of each colour among permanents you control — one of the classic reasons multicolour boards can explode ahead on mana.
Selfless Safewright
A flash protection piece for creature-type decks, helping a chosen part of your board survive removal at exactly the right moment.
From Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Magic: The Gathering | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brought its cast of heroes and villains into Magic, and its Japan Showcase cards received the same premium Fracture Foil treatment. These ten cover the core crew, villains, and key supporting characters we stock.
Leonardo, Cutting Edge
A lifelink threat that grows with your life gain, with Sneak giving him a way to arrive as a surprise attacker when the timing is right.
April O'Neil, Hacktivist
A card-advantage engine that rewards you for casting different spell types in the same turn.
Donatello, Gadget Master
A gadget-focused artifact value card, built to reward players who already have useful artifacts on the battlefield.
Turtles in Time
A dramatic reset-style spell, built for the kind of swingy multiplayer moment where the whole board changes at once.
Super Shredder
A menace threat that grows whenever permanents leave the battlefield, turning removals, sacrifices, and combat trades into extra pressure.
Casey Jones, Vigilante
A burst of card selection attached to a creature body, giving you cards now with a real cost waiting later.
Raphael, the Nightwatcher
An aggressive combat payoff that makes your attacks hit much harder while he is on the battlefield.
Michelangelo, Weirdness to 11
A counter-focused value creature that turns small bonuses into bigger ones and fits naturally into decks built around +1/+1 counters.
Dark Leo & Shredder
A Ninja-focused payoff that rewards attacking, connecting with players, and building toward a wider Ninja board.
Krang, Utrom Warlord
A huge artifact-creature finisher that arrives with a pile of combat keywords and can turn the rest of your artifact creatures into serious threats.
Responsible Proxy Use
As with every proxy card, transparency matters. These proxies should be used for casual play, deck testing, collection, or display — not to deceive players, stores, marketplaces, collectors, tournament organisers, or authentication services.
If a proxy card is ever traded, sold, gifted, or otherwise transferred to another person, its unofficial nature must be clearly disclosed. High-quality proxies are at their best when they make casual games and collections more accessible, not when they are misrepresented as original cards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fracture Foil?
Fracture Foil is Wizards of the Coast's official name for a premium foil finish used on Japan Showcase cards. It creates a cracked, faceted, broken-glass shine across the card instead of the smoother shimmer of a traditional foil. You'll sometimes see it called "Fractured Foil" on listings and in casual conversation; it refers to the same finish.
Do these cards represent the same game pieces as other printings?
Yes, in casual games where your playgroup accepts proxies. Each proxy represents the same card name, mana cost, type line, rules text and gameplay role as the original version. Only the artwork, frame and foil treatment differ between printings.
Can I use these in organised play?
No. Proxy cards are intended for casual play, deck testing, collection, and display, not sanctioned or official tournaments. Always check with your playgroup, store, or event organiser before using proxies.
Do these cost more than a regular proxy here?
No. Every version on this page costs exactly the same as a plain-art proxy of the same card — we do not charge extra for a fancier treatment, unlike the secondary market for the real cards.
