Reception

[edit]

Keith H. Eisenbeis reviewed the accessory in issue No. 38 of White Wolf magazine. He noted that the deck's purpose was to provide a card with a magical item to a player when identified, but Eisenbeis noted various problems with the concept, including duplicate and nonstandard items.[1] He concluded that the "cards represent some of the worst of the 'all flash but little substance' trend in gaming. Simply put, they are a gimmick, and an expensive one at $20.00".[2] Eisenbeis gave the accessory an overall rating of a 1 out of a possible 5.[2]
