He looks so happy to see me! WHO'S A GOOD DOG?! WHO'S A GOOD DOG?! YOU ARE!!

Woo hoo! Zodiac!

Look at that things tongue. I has come for your soul.

he is indeed the goodest of dogs

5/5 for the art alone. I mean it must have taken Qi Baocheng at least a year to create a beast this intimidating. It's mind blowing.

I would totally run this. Even if only to ensure it dealt the finishing blow to my opponent, so that maybe he'd die laughing.

Littlest Hobo

Awwwww. Puppy!

I love the art. I think this looks like one of those fake cards you can find on the internet portraying chuck noris or something, and i love every pixel of it. That is a very realistic dog, and he looks like he will pop out of the cardboard to say hi. Reminds me of my sheltie. I miss him.

BuffJitte beat me to it. This guy is totally the Littlest Hobo. "There's a voice that keeps on calling me. Down the road, that's where I'll always be." If you don't know what this is referring to, search for it on youtube.

If you line these cards up in Chinese Zodiac order, starting with Snake, you get the following poem/story:

Thrice Xuande's ardent quest led to Nanyang,
Where Sleeping Dragon unveiled Han's partition:
‘First take Jingzhou, next the Riverlands;
On that rich region, base your own royal stand.'
Near death in Baidi, having reigned three years,
Bei sadly placed his son in Kongming's care.
By six offensives from the hills of Qi Kongming sought to change Han's destiny.
But the time of Han had run—could he Kongming not tell?—
That night his master star fell past the hills.
Jiang Wei alone still strove with might and main:
Nine times more he fought the north—in vain.
Zhong Hui and Deng Ai next led armies west:
And to the Cao, Han's hills and streams now passed.
Cao Pi, Cao Rui, Fang, Mao, and briefly, Huan—
The Sima took the empire in their turn.
Cao's abdication changed the face of all;
No mighty battles marked the Southland's fall.
Three kings no more—Chenliu, Guiming, Anle.
The fiefs and posts must now be filled anew.
The world's affairs rush on, an endless stream;
A sky-told fate, infinite in reach, dooms all.
The kingdoms three are now the stuff of dream,
For men to ponder, past all praise or blame.

its a shame it was errataed from Dog

IT'S BACON! YUMMY, SIZZLING, CRUNCHY, DELICIOUS BACON! YUMYUMNOMNOMNOM
(Dogs don't know it's not bacon.)

I wish they had made Zodiac decks a little easier to play and created a "Zodiac" creature type, just for theme flavor.

Look at that happy, mindless face. I'd certainly rather have this as a pet than a certain jackal.......

WHY NO ZODIAC CRAB???
