ON OUR COVER
Edward Beard, Jr's rendering of the new Legends ™ Legend Creature, Rohgahh of Pher Keep, was
too intense for us to pass up. Rohg, is a Black/ Red creature, by the way, just in case you're looking
for him. You'll see lots of Ed's work in the coming months, he's done work for both Jyhad (11
paintings) and Legends (10 Paintings), and his own card series called FLIGHTS OF FANTASY
premieres in September, 1994. It is composed of 90 original paintings, including 30 cards each of
Horror, Science Fiction and Fantasy. There will be a roleplaying game incorporated into this set
to appeal to a wider variety of collectors. (Watch for a promo card for FLIGHTS OF FANTASY
in the June Comic Images!—the one with the Conan II all chromium set.) Ed has a really long list
of credits, which I won't list in detail, but his work speaks for itself. I wish Ed the best of success
with his card series... I'm sure we'll be hearing and seeing much more of him in the near future!

 How to use the SCRYE Price Guides...
Scrye is one of the most accurate and current sources of Game Card prices. This
price guide was designed to address the needs of the novice and avid collector. The
prices in the guide have been obtained from regional retail and mail order outlets
across the country, to give you the most accurate picture of the current market
trends, and to supply you with a frame in which your collection can be judged.

Only A Guide...
Scrye listings are to be used only as a guide. Prices contained in the card lists do
not represent an offer by the staff, regional advisor or support retailer, to buy or
sell.

What Do The Numbers Mean?

The SCRYE price system is based on quartiles. We give you three figures, not to
confuse you but to allow you to see the cards which have wide regional ranges and
the cards which are firmly set in a certain range.
The first column, labeled HIGH, is the upper quartile of the prices that we re¬
ceived. The second column, MEDIAN, is the median price of the card and the third
column, LOW, is the lower quartile of all the prices that we received. The median is
similar to the average but is a better representation of the value because it is less af¬
fected by large variations in prices than a simple average would be.
The upper and lower quartiles give a good indication of the validity of the me¬
dian price. A large difference between the quartiles and the median indicates that
there is a considerable variation in prices that we received. If the Median figure dif¬
fers greatly from the Upper and Lower Quartile values, then the range of prices na¬
tionally was great. If the High and Low Quartiles are very close in price to the me¬
dian, then the range is very small.

What Do The Letters Mean?

E: Enchantment
Color jRan'fy
EArt: Enchant Artifact
A: Artifact C: Common ECr: Enchant Creature
B: Black U: Uncommon EL: Enchant Land
Be: Beige/Colorless R: Rare Ins: Instant

W: White DL: Dual Land Sum: Summon

Hi...
I can tell you that what you hold in your hands is important. But you already know that. I
wouldn't haven't started on this nightmare roller coaster, if so many people hadn't asked
me for price information. But they did, so here we are. Now I hope we've given you what
you've asked for in #1. If you want to see something changed, or if you have a personal in¬
sight into pricing or collecting, or you'd like to suggest different figures for a card, don't he-
sistate to let me know. After all, this guide is for you, the collector, and the player, so if
something is missing, I need to know.
Plans for #2? Well Legends and Spellfire should mix things up a bit. Dual Land cards are
already going up in price. The nifty little man on the cover, painted so beautifully by Ed¬
ward Beard, Jr., is an example of one of those two color creature cards, to be found in the
Legends of Dominia. The Spellfire cards pictured on page 10, are chase cards to be discov¬
ered in booster packs this summer. Next issue, we'll hopefully be able to add more cards to
our lists and preview some of the games getting closer to completion. Welcome aboard
folks... it's going to be a wild ride over the next 4-6 months, rip open a few boosters and
we'll be on our way....
Don't forget to drop me a postcard. I love getting postcards, and I'll attempt to print all of
them somehow!
Until Gen Con 1994... May the card gods be with you.

In the primal depths of the subconscious

mind, all of us fear The Dark.
Not for the faint of heart, this new expansion explores the Dark Age
of Dominia, when impassioned magicians delved into macabre forms of
magic that ultimately destroyed them. Over seventy spells, creatures,
and artifacts still linger from this era, waiting for you to add their power
to your Magic: The Gathering deck. If you crave knowledge more than
sanity, come take a walk in The Dark!
