I do not expect Wizards to simply help. I really doubt that because we are missing 50 or so cards (from all 3 versions, total) that they are going to cooperate.

However, just judging by how nice Richard Garfield was to me I could perhaps get his help. Trick is, tracking him down, & meeting him again. If anyone knows where he'll be, please let me know. I'll try to make it.

In the meantime, I'll try to track down more playtest cards :)

wizards reposted scryb sprites again on guess the playtest card on arcana this week...frusturating i know

But wow Earth Lore/ Natural Selection is a green ancestral recall!?!
Sexy...

Berserk sucks big time.

Mana Short is funny.

Correct me if I am wrong but two playtest colors got an ancestral recall? Nuts!

Okay, just thought I'd put this out there:

I'll be at GenCon Indy (probably on Saturday only). I will, as always, bring my rarities, including my decks. So, look for me, I'll play you a game. Look for a tall, skinny guy wearing a FRANK ZAPPA shirt & Chuck Taylor All-Star Shoes. Pretty much a dead giveaway that it's me, no one else dresses like this.

PM me if you'll be there & want to try & do our best to meet up.

Do we have all of those already?

^ Those are new- two of the 4 are not linked anywhere on here.

And yawg07- the Frost Giant and Forest (I had to reread the ebay description, it is incorrect) are ICE AGE playtest cards. They are not pre-alpha ones.

Thanks for the scans of them. Somewhere the Frost Giant is shown on Wizards' site, but since they changed things around I am having trouble finding it. Also, many old links (on te first few pages of this thread) are broken. Shame.

Forest and Frost Giant: Not Alpha, not Ice Age

Frost Giant: Legends

Forest: ?????

Though I think the new website is good, mtg.com is MUCH slower than before.

Did you notice that too ?

the swiss- on Wizards' website, they mention how Ice Age was underway by the employees well before the inception of Arabian Nights, so this would explain how the Frost Giant actually ended up in Legends, before Ice Age was printed. "Frost" seems like something that belongs in a set called "Ice Age" too.

magic-belgium- yes, Wizards nearly put me to sleep waiting for everything to load. Frustrating!

I guess it will change. But it's so strange they did not test the website before loading it.

Looks like WotC has problems with software (MTGO III...) lately.
