I'm assuming some of the best cards from last night will continue this trend. The content release strategy makes good sense, just makes FTP a tougher strategy as the year progresses.

On the happier side, as an FTP player you aren't spending money on these computer models of historical players, and are instead saving it for (choose answer that best applies):

a. other computer simulations (Jai-Alai, Steeplechase?).
b. rent.
c. merchandise for teams that don't exist anymore.
d. pain meds, for a problem resulting from hunching over your computer too long.

sounds about right.

legit LOLOL at that last part. feeling D lately
