I'm just having fun. ***I am not speaking on behalf of WotC's legal department ***The following are just some common-sense observations The use of WotC's icons, card layout, and name is protected by copyright, which you have probably violated. In addition, you have identified the artwork as being owned by WotC, when it is actually owned by (I guess) West End games, so I suspect you may have violated several copyright laws by that misrepresentation. For more information on what you are allowed to do under copyright law, see WotC's legal corner web page: http://www.wizards.com/About_Wizards/Legal/ Or send mail to them at le...@wizards.com In general, you would want to check about copyright considerations *before* you post something of that nature. -- L.

I assumed this was similar, as I am not tring to make any sort of profit from this card. If I have affended, I am truely sorry.
