With the full LTR gallery released, I now present… a brief timeline of Exclamation Points in Magic Card Names!

Fun facts:

  • 2022 and 2023 together have had as many as the previous 28 years combined, and we’re not even halfway through this year.
  • All except two of these cards are from un-sets (11) or Universes Beyond (7). The most recent of those two was printed in 2006.
  • Un-cards outnumber non-un-cards 11 to 9, but one of those is legal in Legacy (Boing!), so the legal/non-legal card ratio is 10:10.
