Please put all your Ideas here, from the most outrageous to the most logical, please add here. I want it BIG! :D

Does the prototype state the credit price of each card? If not I would add that. Maybe the buy button could be next to info, back and sell, so it's easy to just click on each one if you know the info about the card itself. Lastly I think a graphic of each card would be cool. ~ Lava

• Oops forgot the credit price I was going to add that. I guess I could add the buy button next to there. As for a graphic, I'm no budget so I couldn't really have any images that aren't stolen. (And some I couldn't steal as they don't exist, like Snake Weed) Edit: I've put your changes in except the graphics. --2Corin 517 16:59, 10 January 2008 (EST)
