Not my area of focus and I don't really know what these things are, but I'm sure some of you do....

Winning this would inspire a global Mahamoti Djinn collection I predict. At least, it would in me. Then again, I'm nuts.

As for the Alpha Playtest card, you can bet no one will win it but the current high bidder... No need to bid on it then ! :-D

So, you know, I got to do my best to control the market... I won. If people are willing to pay this much for them, I'm a rich man.

I have 80 more of these on the way, & I already own 2 full decks plus some extras. I'm in a good mood right now!

Oh my god, I just now looked at this auction. $1,200... oh my god, could it be any more expensive?

Anyhow, that artwork would have been done AFTER the fact, as the artists do not get these playtest cards. How do I know? I have Dark playtest cards just like this. And one is done JUST LIKE THIS by Mark Poole (who had never seen them until I showed him). I had Poole draw all over one- Morale- in the same exact manner.

I'll gladly sell mine for half that, hahaha.

Not that I'd expect anyone to pay $1200 for that playtest card listed, but I wanted to clarify!

Oh, and on a side note- I have the Tormod's Crypt playtest card, & you just had tap it, not sacrifice it, to remove target player's graveyard from the game... can we say 'restricted' boys & girls?
