No, the matthew reference only exists in the REG and is not physically on the card.

wait, so then AOCP is not considered NT either?

AoCP is referenceless, so I would assume it's also Testamentless.

Testaments are determined by the "date" of the card, all cards have Testaments.

Without a reference, the date cannot be ascertained. Also, it has no OT/NT identifier like other extra-Biblical cards. Therefore it seems to be Testamentless.

Antiochus has no reference, but he is OT, Vitellus has no reference, but he is NT.

AoCP does not have a reference printed on it. (Newer promos at least have a reference, if not a full verse.) I know in the past for a card to be considered having a specific reference it had to actually be printed on the card, not understood from an outside source (like the REG), and I don't think this has ever been revoked.

This is different than the standard for testament. I can't find the ruling, but I recall that NT and OT for cards that do not have Biblical references is determined by whether or not the character lived during/after the life of Jesus or before. This applies even to characters well past the time of Christ, such as St. Patrick and custom heroes from Nats.
