terrible, terrible buy rate. I think being in Japan made a difference, actually. Possibly due to time zone issues? Unimpressed with that buyrate. Was such a good card...

[xx - Team Ramrod]

Two broken orbital bones and Big Country KO'ing Butterbean! Good fights!

[The Rocketmen]

Solid card, poor buy-rate. I blame Cannon.

I actually saw Cannon yesterday.
