#251: The Thirteenth Labour
In the recent print run of cards, about wave 3 or 4, a batch of #251's which were entirely purple emerged. These new purple-silver hybrids now apropriately displaying the difficulty level of #251, that of "Purple + Silver = Well hard" were welcomed by new and old players alike, amusing and confusing respectivly, and probably at the same time too. Below we'll have some scans of the original #251 and the new and, in my opinion (which is the one that counts) improved!
Print Changes
Several cards had minor changes, typically related to brightness or contrast, between print runs. The changes are not drastic enough to be considered "errors" exactly, but they are certainly visible changes.

#185: Spin Cycle
#206: Mexid Massege
