Illustration Rares in Shrouded Fable
Illustration Rares (IR) and Special Illustration Rares (SIR) are the full-art, scene-style cards collectors chase hardest. Shrouded Fable packs 20 of them into its 99 cards: 15 standard IRs and 5 larger-art SIRs. That puts the full-art count at roughly 20% of the set — a meaningful share of why Shrouded Fable is fun to open.

IR vs SIR in Shrouded Fable
If you're prioritising, the 5 Special Illustration Rares are the scarcer, pricier tier — full-bleed art and lower pull rates — while the 15 standard Illustration Rares are more attainable but still some of the best-looking cards in Shrouded Fable. Together those 20 full-art cards are the heart of the set's chase and the reason a master set climbs to 154 cards.
