OVERPOWER DREAM CARD CONTEST!

Send in your best superhero OVERPOWER card design. The best card makers will win an uncut sheet of Limited
Edition OVERPOWER cards courtesy of Fleer Corporation & Marvel Entertainment.
Send your best card to: OVERPOWER DREAM CARDS Contest, P.O. Box 1627, Troy, NY 12181-1627
by October 15, 1995.
Watch for the winners in SCRYE issue #11. (You can cut up cards or make your own from scratch!)
This issue, J. Springsteen & J. Kadolph won a whole box of Magic: ICE AGE™ card set! (Winners will be notified by mail.)

DREAM CARDS MAKERS NOTES:

Please don't use copyrighted images from other games or publications in your dream cards. We received all kinds of great Dream Cards we couldn't
print... from The Little Mermaid to Beams & Butthead (and the great Ren & Stimpy). Also keep in mind, SCRYE has a wide audience...X-Rated Dream
Cards certainly make us smile, but they won't put you in the winner's circle. For example if you cut up Magic Cards, design your dream card out of
only Magic™ images - Don't paste art from other card sets or from other places onto Magic™ cards. If you use glue to paste bits of cards together,
you may want to check that the glue holds fast before you send the card in. The alternative is to tape down the parts you stick on...envelopes of tiny
little pieces are sometimes too puzzling for us to put back together! All Dream Cards sent in the mail to us become the property of SCRYE, Inc.
Our staff will, however, make a concerted effort to return a card you can't part with, if you send a SASE with your card submsision.

NOTES: ALPHA AND BETA EDITIONS OF M:TG WEREN'T FACTORED IN FOR THESE RANKINGS BECAUSE THE ENTIRE LIST WOULD THEN BE
ALPHA EDITION CARDS. SO WE USED THE UNLIMITED EDITION PRICES, WHICH MAKES SENSE TOO, BECAUSE MOST OF THE CARDS
BEING SOLD ARE REVISED AND UNLIMITED, NOT ALPHAS OR BETAS. "THE FIVE MOXES" ARE MOX EMERALD, MOX JET, MOX PEARL, MOX
RUBY, AND MOX SAPPHIRE. "FIVE ELDER DRAGONS" ARE ARCADES SABBOTH, CHROMIUM, NICOL SOLAS, PALLADIA-MORS, AND
VAEVICTUS ASMADI.
