I miss doing the Speculative Card Lists - I still remember when
Mount Doom was nearing release and they spoiled one of the new
cards with a card number in the high 30s. Of course that didn't align with previous set averages (
and
in < 40 cards - no way!) so I made my little stink in Everything Else about how sure I was that I'd found a typo in the collector's info.
One of the designers (can't remember who) popped up in a reply to smack me down. As if I would know! I felt super embarrassed for a few minutes, then opened up my Speculatives folder and started adjusting my MD card list.
Man did I love the wake of a good set of new cards!
Mount Doom was a cool set. Not quite what I was hoping for, but cool.
Also, it's wonderful that I can still pull a memory like that out of my #$&*@! after fifteen years. I want to bring back the good-depthful-card-game days...
