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 Smile

Bush-work = any kind of forestry.

Goku,

I choose Serra Angel.

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.
