 		!!WARNING!! -- Do not put your silver cards in the microwave
So, I went on a creative bender and tried heating some cards. I noticed that the Syzygy Cube card seemed to have a layer of reactive coating, so I thought I'd try putting it in the microwave.

Okay, I'm not always thinking at 9 in the AM.

After about 4 seconds in there, I remembered -- "CRAP!!!! It's a FOIL card!" ... but it was too late. A wave of sparks and electricity had engulfed the card and when I took it out, the card had cracked and peeled away, leaving what looked like a dry foil mud bed.

So if you're going to heat silver cards, don't use the microwave. Anyway, has anyone found anything funny with Syzygy Cube? Heat? Light? Anything?

 		I wish I had a scanner so you all could see the funny damage. {EDIT} See Below. So much for keeping them pristine.

IN OTHER NEWS -- have you seen the #146 discovery yet? Check it out!
