Alternate Alternate 4th Edition Cards

[Neuron]

Most Alternate 4th Editon cards have exactly the same front as standard 4th, disregarding the print pattern. However, some cards with lower case i in their names look different. I found two, maybe there are more. Round i-dots where introduced with Spanish and Portuguese 4th Edition BB, as there are words with an accent above an i which would have looked too similar to the former slashers (on unaccented is).

Left is Alternate, right normal 4th Edition:

I've checked mine,...
Amrou Kithkin
Benalish Hero
Conversion
Disenchant
Divine Transformation
Kismet
Piety
Samite Healer
Birds of Paradise
Grizzly Bears
Rebirth
Scryb Sprites
Shandodin Dryads
Winter Blast
Fireball
Goblin King
Mons's Goblin Raiders
Orcish Oriflamme
Carrion Ants
Xenic Poltergeist
Twiddle
Mishra's Factory
Jade Monolith
Library of Leng
White Mana Battery
Yotian Soldier
... and all of those have the normal English 4th slash over the lowercase i.


I did find one Alternate 4th edition card that had a round dot over the i. It was Circle of Protection: White.


This is probably a good clue as to when Alternate 4th edition was made.
