~
Our last post on Friday, we were looking at approximately 174 of 249 Magic 2010 spoiled cards to date. One word comes to mind . . . 'Deluge' - as in an overwhelming volume of card details coming to light.
A very large portion of the card reprints this season were due to the Great Gatherer Gaffe but special mention must be provided to forum fan 'Quodo' from France who graciously gave whatever he had (which was a lot) - hoping also that the WoTC spooks don't nail him with a ban either.
Anywhoos - Lets have a full review of a glorious 225 of 249 cards we have to date and hope that card art is shortly following . . . reviews coming soon !
