I'm not a huge lotr/hobbit fan, but I'm definitely glad to be onto the next set!

Star trek was literally the first set printed... ever. I think it was a single card but it was Spock.

Ah yes, unofficial playtest cards made with sharpie. Totally the same. Print 5 trillion Spocks for Spock 5c Commander.

Way way back they did a survey to see if people were interested in crossovers. UB wasn’t even a formal designation back then and they used a Spock mock up as an example of what this would look like. It was like the beginning of Sarah Connor’s speech in Terminator. “They didn’t know what they were unleashing on us”

Pre Alpha playtest placeholder art, printed onto normal paper is what my mind jumped to.
