TOM: AH allowed at ORIGINS '96?

Hi Tom, I can't remember the exact release date of Ancient Hearts, which raises the question: Will AH cards be legal to use at ORIGINS '96 coming up in Columbus? The V:tES tournament is on Friday, 5 July. Thanks a bunch, Eric

Remember, it is your duty to report back to those of us who don't make it to Origins who plays what and what does well! Since there are so few sanctioned events, please, please, keep us well informed! Thanks.

I can't check right this second, but I see no reason why Ancient Hearts would be banned at Origins, as it will be more than 30 days after the release of Ancient Hearts. Tom Wylie rec.games.trading-cards.* Network Representative for aa...@cats.ucsc.edu Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

I'm not sure if many European players will make the trip to the US for a Jyhad/VtES tourney - in fact, I doubt it - but here in France, we're still waiting for AH to be released... and stores don't seem to be sure they'll get it before August or something. I'm not trying to start an anti-WotC argument, but it seems that the French branch of WotC are a big bunch of incompetents (this is from my own reflection *and* conversations with unhappy store owners) Philippe

In article <4q2l1i$h...@news.be.innet.net>, Philippe DUCHON <year...@innet.lu> writes [ quoted text not captured ] the reason europe is behind is due to the fact that when wizards released the cards they put europes cards on a boat to us and it has only just got here. expect to see cards in your shops next week ( monday 24th) Not to good a start to a very good expansion. I found it was quicker to order a box Airmail and it works out about the same as i can by here in england (£65) Andy M
