Welcome to part two in a series of… Ooh, how long can I milk this one for?

Torment, the newest expansion, is now available to purchase for fun and profit. And believe me… The fun that we as players will have with this set will no doubt reap profit for those who provide it!

Apparently enraged by the fact that Anthony Alongi’s dogs can write columns, Sheldon’s cats leap to the keyboard! And actually produce words, not just broken laptops!

A quick look at the spoiler shows us that no, Nether Void, Hypnotic Specter and Sinkhole are not in – but yes, there are some cool cards in every color.

It’s the awards ceremony that Daniel Crane has been waiting for! Yes, The Ferrett himself comes out of hiding to pick the best and worst moments in 2001 for your benefit… With no strategy whatsoever!
