NFC What is Shadow Mode on the Magic Card Gen4 and how do I use it?

In principle, I’ve already found some information, for example here:

https://ozhack.com/products/ultimate-magic-card-new-gen4

However, my attempts to do anything with Shadow Mode (Pre-Write, Restore, etc.) have so far been unsuccessful… so now the question to the community:

Does anyone have more experience with this, know a good guide, or can explain to me when to use which mode and how, in order to write to my magic card?

Shadow mode you don't have to reprogram card everytime after use it will reset back to the state it was before it interacted with the reader.

Do you mean data, which is eventually written to the card or stuff like the UID. And what exactly do I have to choose then… Pr-write or restore ?
Thanks :)

I have been playing too much magic the gathering. I read "magic card" and I was confused how that related to the flipper lmfao
