Well, yeah, that's true. I've actually sent away and recieved a batch of Promos, but that
doesn't mean everyone knows about this. If'n you don't subscribe to the list, or if
you've never logged onto the SRCCG home page and read the "Nerps! Promo"
section, then you probably don't know how to get a promo.

It's still the good old M:TG situation. They made a few cards that were just damn neat,
and anyone who had them had a major advantage. Now there were very few of these cards
floating around, so if you didn't know someone who could get one for you, you would be
going into a tourny with one hand tied behind yer back. That's not saying you can't win a
tourny without promo cards, I'm just saying that the promos make the game a lot easier.
(auto-sleaze a maglock and trash any electrical on a 5+, all for free? Put that into combo
with auto-sleazing any personelle challenge and Wow...)
