It's surprisingly fun once you spot the right cards, and my local game store sells less popular foil commons and uncommons for 25 and 50 cents respectively, making each land a relatively small investment. If anyone has suggestions for good pairings, or of non-land cards that would look good with something layered on top of them, I'm open to suggestions. I've got a handful of others lined up, but time is the limiting resource these days.<\/p>\n<!-- index.php -->\n<div\n\tclass=\"ngg-galleryoverview
