“I have no idea what you are talking about,” said Mike (aka @fivewithflores) who only responds to people by Twitter these days and had, predictably, not opened his email yet.

“I am looking at our preview card right now,” I said, doing my best to not sound too exasperated with Mike’s retreat from the non-Twitter portions of the communication. “It looks a little bit like a Trinket Mage but it gets bigger –”

“Bigger how?” said Mike, cutting me off. “It has a higher casting cost?”

“Nope. Same exact casting cost. It gets bigger — ” I tried explaining again.

“Nope. Same exact stats in the lower right and nothing on the card lets you change them.”

“I don’t understand how it gets bigger then,” sighed Mike.

“I was trying to tell you, that it is like Trinket Mage but it gets bigger…stuff. Just open your email and you will see what I mean.”
