I thought it might be Holy Grail. It took me a bit to get to it, all this distraction about altering and silliness. Eventually the quest for a tall glass of water gave me a pretty good idea.

Redoubter was snickering the whole time, the meanie.

It's actually really funny, because after reading the clues a few hours ago, I had no idea what it was (although I was guessing it was an artifact) then some of my playgroup got together for some games, and one of them mentioned how it was strange that Holy Grail hasn't made an appearance since Warriors and was due for a reprint... then everything fell into place in my mind.

Now that that cat is out of the bag... (What kind of saying is that anyway? Do people really keep their cat in a bag?)

And here I thought the Grail was going to be a promo. $:-\$

YMT don't feel so bad. I was figuring on a reprint of the 'fountains of living water'.

I gotta say I'm quite happy that 2 of the 3 URs in TPC are multicolor. T2 players won't need to collect a bunch of them for their collections

When we playtested the I&J Starter Decks, Holy Grail was in the mix as a promo. I had been waiting all this time to see it arrive, but now it shows up as an UR. If these URs are anything like the second TEC group, then they will be few and far between.

In reality all 3 you only maybe want one in each deck. I guess in type 2 you could put two in your deck and use one conversion per copy then use Uzzah on both, but you can only convert two people per game.

I think we should just stick to the holy hand grenade

I'm more sad that people didn't get my references about quests and silliness and a silly place

But on availability of the card, there are a good deal of Grails out there from Warriors still, but brand new players don't have access. And by not tying it to a particular tournament type, we now have the option to get a new (and shinier, better worded) version in the latest set for players to collect instead (since you can't really open new Warriors packs to try and find one).

Super excited!

I've always wanted a Holy Grail (as one who started playing after warriors was out of print) and now there's going to be a really powerful one.

Just a few observations: TGT, Chorazin, The God of this World, Lampstand, and Herod's Temple (also to a lesser extent Golgotha and shipwreck) received boosts in value.

In my defense I've never actually seen that Monty Python all the way through.

I was waiting for a reference about a killer bunny, shrubberies, flesh wounds, or being oppressed.

I've never seen it either I just like the idea of the holy hand grenade

Sure you can...just go to www.threelionsgaming.com and order yourself a brand new, un-opened Warriors pack.

The odds of pulling a Holy Grail out of a warriors pack is kinda high. The Holy hand grenade is also a favorite in the computer game series 'Worms'. I'm curious as to what promos Rob was come out with to enhance this set.

Why would you say that? The odds would definitely not be in your favor.

It'd actually be cheaper to just buy a holy grail buy itself than to buy a pack. (that you most likely wouldn't even get one in)

But how many of us can say that we've actually opened a Warriors pack?

I know I can't.

I've opened many Warriors packs, and never got a Holy Grail. I got all of my Grails from trading over the years.

I opened probably over 100 back in the day from David Easterling's convention booth at a convention once in hopes of pulling a Michael the Archangel, and I did get one!! Made my freaking day. Still have a few unopened

Never got a Holy Grail out of a pack though!

I think I can claim to have opened at least 1. Fairly certain I participated in a booster draft once that included a Warriors pack.

If I'm not mistaken back in Warriors wasn't there something different going on with the Rare and Uncommon sheets? I remember Chariots of Fire also being near impossible to pull back in the day.

One of my students found a Christian bookstore that had a whole box of them on clearance for $1 apiece.
