Disenchant was the last FNM card to use the old frame and the classic Shooting Star foil look. Beginning with Smother FNM cards used the frame introduced with
8th Edition (Magic: The Gathering), 8th Edition and featured the FNM logo on top of the text box.
While Crystalline Sliver is numbered 3/12 F03 it was not distributed as an FNM promo. Some of the cards were stolen and Wizards chose not to distribute the Slivers instead shifting FNM prize card schedule by one month, thus Capsize was handed out in March. Disenchant was added to the series of 2003 FNM cards and handed out in July, thus shifting the remaining cards for the year back into the original schedule. In contrast to the other FNM cards the FNM Disenchant is not numbered.
Most of the lost Crystalline Slivers were later recovered and handed out at the 2008 summer

2018
Beginning in April, the prize was reverted from double-sided tokens to standard promos, as community feedback did not match to WotC's expectations after the change. At the same time, instead of each promo being tied to a month, three promos were made available during the whole run of a given set, for stores to distribute as they see fit.
*1-3/18: Double-sided token of either Illusion/Saproling, City's Blessing/Elemental, or Merfolk/Treasur
*Dominaria: Opt, Cast Down, Shanna, Sisay's Legac

*Guilds of Ravnica: Conclave Tribunal, Sinister Sabotage, Thought Erasur
2019
Beginning with the release of Core Set 2020, the way promos were distributed was again changed. Instead of explicitly tying promos to specific events like FNM, instead stores would be given "promo packs" to be distributed as they see fit. The packs contains promo stamped cards from the set, as well as a small number of specific cards using the dark frame from previous FNM promos.
*Ravnica Allegiance: Growth Spiral, Light Up the Stage, Mortif
*War of the Spark: Augur of Bolas, Paradise Druid, Dovin's Vet
*Core Set 2020: Corpse Knight, Negate, Disfigure, Flame Sweep, Thrashing Brontodo
*Throne of Eldraine: Glass Casket, Improbable Alliance, Inspiring Veteran, Kenrith's Transformation, Slaying fir
