Dude bust a box of Hardwood!!!! I LOVE the set and got TONS of great hits!!!! plus you have a great chance at 1/1's!!!

Hardwood and Murad are both great. Sadly, stores (and online stores included) have jacked up the prices by a lot since their release. :( I don't even know if they are still worth the price.
