Mystery Box Event
MLK started a movement some decades ago. Jpastor will start a movement, too: a movement of cardsmiths from Cardsmith League to try the Mystery Boxes!!!
As such. I've started this special event, which is 100% Optional for the tagged cardsmiths.
- If you complete you mystery challenge, you will be awarded the prize in your mystery box. Should you like this Mystery Box thing, you can ask for another Mystery Box when you post your entry. Future mystery boxes have 50/50 shots at prizes, which are awarded immediately upon receipt.

Behold that pale horse in him
Racin like Porsches in him
Boy forget it
I’m a die hard Flintstone second ward soldier
I do not know retreat
I do not accept defeat
