I don't recall if this was specified in the body of this article, however, all this week is Sarpadian/Cashew week.

EDIT: This is a reminder to myself to fix the "COL" typo on the home page. I was tired.

Re: Sarpadian Empires, Vol VII (All Parts) - by Cashew

Cashew Week, eh? If there are going to be more articles like this for the upcoming week, then count me in on reading all of them. So far, its very interesting stuff and this is just the foreward mind you. I have always had a great curiousity behind Fallen Empire's story, just as much as the other two sets in the "Bad Trinity".

Hope to see more.

Re: Sarpadian Empires, Vol VII (All Parts) - by Cashew

Ahhh, that was a good one. Since i started playing in that era, this article kinda hit a soft spot
....I have ALWAYS wondered why there is so many fallen empires booster packs......like every card shop...$.99 cents....each. Now I know.
Thanks for the history lesson, truly enjoyable.

Re: Sarpadian Empires, Vol VII (All Parts) - by Cashew

Not sweet, we didn't want that crap, we wanted Dual lands from Revised and cards from Legends. Fallen Empires was a bust in its time. We hated it. Especially since the only playable cards at that time were the discarding spells and black pump knights.
