ooooh i see.
thanks for clarifying!

yeah i was wondering also.
cos i think again, the rule mentioned ability that produces mana.
dark ritual is an instant cast spell, not an ability, so it can be countered!
but i dun think ppl will go and counter dark ritual, unless he feels like the player is gonna cast something dreadful. O_O

checked last nite and found out that is the same one

since i have no cc (becoz i can't entrust myself with such spendable wealth...) and paypal, i might as well wait for either cd or ps3 release... 

you can get Edison83 or Deimos to help you buy the game on steam.

hoho real card manyak mahal yo.
expensive hobby.

i had limited cards for odyssey/mirrodin (mostly swamps, but got 'kamahl, the pit fighter' off some card vending machine ) but it is not enuf to construct a deck, and:

1. no fwen to pway with. most of them were too ah-beng/ ah-lian for techno music rather than sit down and pway this kind of geek-ish/ nerd-ish game.

2. price. earlier years during school time i did stumbled across few unlimited/ 7th edition deck that was too costly for me to get one

3. game mechanics: new keywords like threshold, buyback, flashback, landfall, vigilance etc had me looking to new rules just to understand what are those stuff stand for. 

last time i went to some shop in sungei wang (aka RL undercity... fukken maze ) with fwen as 'tour guide', i see whole bunch of peeps there talking strategic and playing... no brainer Y*-G*-*H CCG...

plus i need to feed my addiction.

srsly, i'm getting buttock-hurted

2x buttock-hurting experience within 2 hours.

i dun own a car and mostly relied on in-city rail road transportation (star and putra, some extent monorail and LOOOONG waiting KTM). Public transport suxx so bad here that i had to walk becoz i'm too stingy to take a cab a environmental
