Rarity always seemed to matter to me in Vs. Most rare attack modifiers like Savage Beatdown, Big Leagues, Steely Resolve, Armageddon, Blinding Rage, etc. outshine their more common counterparts like Combat Reflexes and Acrobatic Dodge. There is, however, an occasional common or uncommon that is so good you wonder how in the heck it got past [...]

My journey through the world of CCGs has been a slow, but progressive chapter of my life.
