Hi Gary,
Thanks for the recent work on ISD tips & tokens.
I have been very busy with work, and alas am likely to remain so for the next six months, but I do want to reply with comments.
Firstly, I am really happy that (as far as I can see) WotC have changed all the adverts in Dark Ascension. That reduces the chaos somewhat.
However, I think my Innistrad t&t sample collected in Hong Kong, has recently become polluted with a few European English cards at the time of the DKA pre-release. When I did a check last week end, I found half a dozen new tips suddenly. There is always a sinking feeling when this happens, but I was tired and I can't recall which ones I added. :(
All is not lost though. I suspect that I was pretty near to a set of all the US tips. I think that most of the extra cards would be European. Obviously, there must be many more Euro cards than the diagram currently shows.
So down to details...
(1) Damn, that chilli is spicy! :P :o :)
(2) As far as I can see, the "The Multiverse Just Got Bigger" *is* the advert for IDW. (And snap up those promo Faithless Lootings while they are cheap...) If there are two ads, then I have only seen one. What's going on here?
(3) Your row sums for three tips are incorrect. Rain, residents and When have 4, 4 and 5 yellows respectively. However, I have found an extra:
Rain/Multiverse,
residents/Dark &
residents/Innistrad Intro.
So two of these rows now add up to exactly what they were marked to be!
(4) I also have found:
Got/All
Got/Friday
If your spells/All &
Magic Decks/Magic Online
which I suspect are Euro. I definitely have:
Looking for more cards/More,
which is a smoking gun that my sample has been polluted.
(5) I am currently missing:
Spirit/Magic Online
Spirit/IDW Comics (if this exists)
Vampire/All (I thought that was the unique one this time?)
Wolf/Dark
Zombie (a)/Magic Online
Zombie (a)/More
Zombie (c)/Multiverse
Looking of more ways/Innistrad Fat
but I can continue to look for these in the next few weeks.
Thanks & all the best,
Andrew
PS: Sorry I didn't manage to solve the jigsaw for ISD print runs. 2 boxes was not enough...
