questions, you can send your e-mails to JohnnyBQuick@aol.com.

from restriction list

3. Moved "Skill Drain", "Apprentice Magician", and "Exodia the Forbidden One"

to Forbidden Cards

4. Moved "Cyber Stein", "Morphing Jar #2", "Heart of the Underdog", "The Dark

Door", "Magician of Faith", "Mask of Darkness", "Guardian Sphinx" and "D. D.

Borderline" to Limited Cards

5. Moved  "Scapegoat", "Injection Fairy Lily", "Confiscation" and "The

Forceful Sentry" to Semi-Limited Cards

6. Added "Black Ptera" and "Warrior Lady of the Wasteland" to Forbidden Cards

7. Added "Crush Card Virus" to Limited Cards

8. Added "Negate Attack", "Zero Gravity", "Windstorm of Etaqua" and
