Notes:
- All nine epic figures are rares.
- "Interesting fact -- two sided stat cards for 9critters,one for 200 point play, the other for 500 point play. Also havedrawings for a Balor, Marut (is that an inevitable?) and some guy namedArtemis Enteri"
- "Epic is the real deal. Cool name for a format huh? Alsoagree with Pat, very elegant design. Inclusion is good. Super-powerfulcreatures are good. What's not to like? Were the design team ever totry anything as crazy as double-use figures, I feel quite confidentthat they would do 2 stat cards, quite confident. :) You already knowsomething about 4 of the Epic figures." (Probably Artemis Entreri,the FR assassin; Balor; Marut; and a certain miniature designed by thewinner of the 2004 championship...)
- The Marut Mini, an open secret (as in, a secret that wasopened), is in a future set that's so future that people can't evenkeep it's name straight, and is one of my favorite minis ever. - Rob Heinsoo
