I played that game for a couple of years in the early nineties, when I was doing bush-work. Good way to while away the boring evenings in the backwater hotels...but I got burnt out on the marketing, and having to always buy new cards so as to keep up with the Joneses. So, I sold all my cards on Ebay.
I have fond memories of it though--it really is an excellent and well designed game. Very clever marketing set-up, too! I bet they made an absolute killing. |

There's a game store at Noksapyeong station where they do drafts on Sundays. Uhh...you'll have to look for my thread to find the organizer's number. |

What's bush work? I've done landscaping in my heyday....but I bet that's not the same thing. |

I was a long time player before I came to Korea. Didn't see worth it to try and lug all the cards across the world. They're in storage (climate controlled) hopefully appreciating a little value while I'm away  |

Goku,
I choose Serra Angel.

P.S. Back in the day it said, "Doesn't tap during the attack phase." |

NUUU...
This predates when vigilance became a coined term.
I believe this was the first card of it's kind to have this effect.
4/4 white, flying, does not tap during it's attack phase and is sexy as hell?
I'll give you another hint, it's pre-dates invasion expansion... I think... lol it's been a while. |

Serves me right trying to be a sarcastic geek. I don't know magic well enough to know the exact card, but I do know it well enough to know that it's some kind of angel. |

Serra Angel obviously. Counterpart of Sengir Vampires. They were the big name rares of one of the # edition sets. I think 8th. I played during invasion and odyssey block. my favorites. but it just took too much time and money.
I do have an online magic account if anyone wants to go up against my odyssey block deck... B/G madness ftw. |
