The Magic Librarities

mintcollector: Well, this is the same link I posted above ...

Now that the contest rewards have been sent, which differences are there between different countries? German participants have received a Magic cap and a rebate of 10 EUR for the next PTQ or Prerelease tournament. Please share your experience.

Shichifukujin is the name for the Seven Gods of Luck. Have a look here: http://home.inter.net/eds/oldtokyo/shichifukujin.html
