Post by: menace64 on July 18, 2018, 07:35:22 PM: (We should've started this a decade ago.)

I'm thinking of a card.

~~Is it a shadow card?~~

EDIT: Just remembered I can't ask that question. So how about...

Is it a minion?

(Before I announce that I’m thinking of a card, I want to ask a question to those about: would you prefer a grace period between when an answer is given and the next question asked? I don’t know if we’ve got any lurkers about interested in skirmishing with us - if slowing down a bit allows more of us to participate, I’m sure something could be done!)

That being said, I’m thinking of a card.
