Vanguard cards are a 4-series 8-card set of oversized cards that were used to supplement Magic games. Each series was released during Arena Leagues. Series 1 could be obtained in the Vanguard Gift Box.
These cards changed starting and maximum hand size and starting life total. They also had some effect on you.
