Shay Cormac, featured in MTG’s Universes Beyond: Assassin’s Creed set, is highly sought after due to its usefulness. A fan’s discovery of a misprint has only added to the card’s popularity among MTG players.
“Universes Beyond: Assassin’s Creed offers a wealth of exciting Commander choices and strong cards to incorporate into your deck. While the set features well-known characters such as Ezio and Altaïr, it also shines a light on lesser-known titles like Assassin’s Creed: Rogue.”
Despite being initially overlooked, Shay Cormac, the protagonist of Rogue, is a valuable card in the Orzhov option that can effectively break through opponents’ defenses. This character has gained a strong following among the dedicated fans of Assassin’s Creed who have been supporting Rogue since its debut, and it seems fitting that Shay would also become a sleeper-hit in the world of MTG.
Shay Cormac brings a variety of helpful abilities, and MTG enthusiasts online have pointed out a minor error on one of them, resulting in the card being even more positively received.
A post on the MagicTCG Subreddit was quickly met with a lot of attention as it inquired, “Is it true that all the Shay Cormacs in ACR say ‘bounty county’?”

Contrary to being a single error, a fan promptly verified that “Every English etched foil version contains that same mistake.”
Despite the potential for frustration, fans chose to embrace the widespread error and even found humor in it, with comments such as “This typo is one of the highlights of the game.”
Shay could have been a great addition to MTG’s Wild West set, with its Bounty mechanic. One fan even suggested that “Bounty County”would have been a more fitting name for the set instead of “Thunder Junction.”
Despite the affordable cost of standard Shay Cormac copies since the release of the Universes Beyond: Assassin’s Creed set, the foil-etched variant commands a significantly higher price.
Despite occasional printing errors causing a decrease in value, the positive response to “bounty county” could potentially increase the worth of this foil-etched Shay Cormac among MTG players.
