InQuest 17 - 10 - InQuisition

More Spellifire? Sure Thing!

I play a few CCGs and I always read InQuest.
My favorite game is Magic, but I haven't
been playing it. I'm waiting until the new
expansions come out, the ones other than
Alliances. Meanwhile, I have been playing
Spellfire. Your magazine just doesn't have
enough coverage of Spellfire. Will you con-
sider adding more articles on Spellfire?

After your letter triggers the inevitable avalanche
of requests, I don't see where we'll have much choice.

Down With Mothers

Okay, I'm almost done with a game of
Magic, when my mother walks into the card
shop and says, "It's time to go." I say, "It'll
be a little while before I'm dead, but I'll try
to hurry." I finish 10 minutes later. I go out-
side expecting to see her car, but it's gone.
I go back in and say, "She left without me."
Later, she walks in, not exactly excited to
see me. So we leave and she starts talking
about how I'm never going to the card shop
again. Was she overreacting?

Look, there are three sure-fire ways to PO your mom:
(1) forget her birthday, (2) leave your junk lying
around and (3) keep her waiting in the car. Apolo-
gize, already. And while you're at it, a little peck on
the cheek wouldn't hurt. Go ahead, ya big lug!

Foreign Exchange

I'm sending this letter from Vienna, Austria,
to say that all the expatriates go mad for
your mag like it was going out of style. So

do the Austrians - even the ones who don't
speak English. Anyway, my friends and I
have a grievance about the contests where
you offer foreign editions of Magic as prizes.
Let me tell ya something. Those things are
a dime a dozen around here. I think it's a
shame that people would want them.

Matt Patren

A dime a dozen? Hmm, I could take all the money
I made working as live bait at Gator Land and
buy... lemme see... 18 cards!



The Write Idea

I've found a major weakness with your con-
tests. A lot of the really good ones involve
art, like the one where you make your own
Magic cards. How about a contest for us writ-
ers, huh? Just because some of us can't draw
a stick figure doesn't mean we're not special.

Chris Koch

Exactly who around here do you think is qualified
to judge a writing contest?

Neglected Efreet

For the last few months, people have been
bitching to you about everything, so I
thought I'd throw in my two cents. Okay,
everybody loves the Juzam Djinn and so do
I, but why doesn't anyone ever mention
my favorite card, the Serendib Efreet? I
mean, think about it. The Juzam Djinn gives
you a 5/5 creature for four mana, which is
great, but the Serendib Efreet gives you a
3/4 flyer for only three mana. And that's
not to mention the cool green border. What
is your problem?

I couldn't agree more. That green border definitely
pushes it over the top. And speaking of borders...

Pink I.C.E.?

What the hell is wrong with I.C.E.? The
Unlimited Edition of Middle-earth: The Wiz-
ards has blue borders! Blue borders! Are they
freaking crazy? What next? Pink borders?

Enrico Del Prete
Cyberspace

I hope not. Pink is for underwear, not card borders.
