The creator, Alladin, explains it:

> "So we have two cards called *'The Lost Cards.'* They are ones we had created and talked with the two people/projects about adding them but they never finalized the approval. At the last minute we had to take them out. I'm confident we can get them both and have already locked in one of them for sure now, so we plan to do something fun with them."
