Remembering the Old Cards (Rant) - Vic Apprentice

>As I've said before, I think that people are

>Before you all fall a sleep, I just want to get my

>a strategy (involving the new cards) to work with the
>old ones? I myself may even start playing again just
>to get my point across. I'm sure that even though
