Interestingly enough, the story here appears to be based on one of the exploits of Zhuge Liang, an actual Third Century Chinese strategist. Foggy night + boats full of straw dummies + making lots of noise = whole mess of free arrows.

Except for Mox Lotus, this card shows the biggest number ever in Magic. (Though if you want to be technical, infinity is not a number, but a concept)

I love it when Magic alludes to real-life events. I want to see it more.

Use with Hunted Phantasm. Most people will attack with the goblins they get, so this is like a draw 3 or 4 at least with that guy.

Unreliable, but potentially powerful. Seems like a good idea if someone in your playgroup is being a dick with elves. It would also be very funny if you used it after someone went infinite and attacked with exactly 100,000 tokens, even if the mill would kill you.

I sometimes forget that there were sets besides Kamigawa that had Eastern flavor. I hope they try it again sometime with a set that isn't mostly underpowered.

It's so frustrating that the Portal 3K cards are so limited and hard to get in the US or even in English for that matter!

Sound off if you want to see them made available somewhere other than MTGO for us US players!
