Returning Modern Horizons MTG Cards With Retro Frame Treatment Can Only Be Found in Modern Horizons 2 Collector Boosters

There’s a group of Modern Horizons returning in Modern Horizons 2 but you can only find them in one place.

Modern Horizons 2 will offer players and collectors various treatments of Magic: The Gathering cards that will be featured in the upcoming straight-to-Modern expansion, and Wizards of the Coast already confirmed that it will have traditional foils, foil-etched, borderless alternate-art, showcase sketch, retro frames, and foil retro frames. Some of these treatments will only be available in certain Modern Horizons 2 products like Collector Boosters and Set Boosters, so to an average consumer, it may be hard to figure out which product offers which versions.

Even Cardboard Crack made a new comic strip about this:

On Thursday, Wizards of the Coast gave us our first look at a couple of returning cards from the first Modern Horizons with the retro frame treatment: Force of NegationForce of NegationForce of NegationIf it's not your turn, you may exile a blue card from your hand rather than pay this spell's mana cost.
Counter target noncreature spell. If that spell is countered this way, exile it instead of putting it into its owner's graveyard.
and Giver of RunesGiver of RunesGiver of Runes{T}: Another target creature you control gains protection from colorless or from the color of your choice until end of turn..
