Caution: Expensive Cards are a Target of Theft - Players may socialize and trade as they see fit. Trading will be conducted without interference or supervision. Think carefully before you bring excess cards! Thieves target large collections, expensive cards. Focus 100% on your cards, especially if you hand them to someone for review. Beware: If your deck contains expensive cards you'll need to be careful during the clean up phase - be certain that your expensive cards end up back in your deck - if you are distracted your opponent may seize the opportunity to grab your card
