It looks pretty sweet! I wonder if MM designed all the art work for the cards; maybe some new art work?

[Mikolaj]

Great to finally see how it looks- does anyone have a better quality picture perhaps?

I read somewhere that there's 300 MM signed lithographs randomly inserted in the packs.

Yeah... They said it in the original statement that is btw somewhere on this forum-> someone posted it a while ago!

I'm not sure, but I seem to remember Ryan Sook mentioning doing a card or 2 for this.

Thanks, Khan. Were as I may never play this game, it does look like
a damn fine collectable.

I have no real idea what the hell this is but I strangely find myself wanting one.

Yes, the probability of new HB art get's the hunting juices flowing.As long as the card and pack distribution is balanced and fair.I don't want to sell my third kidney to make sure I can complete a full set.
