Yep, good old freebies. What could be better than free stuff right? Every so often, we will give out freebies in updates, and in the freebie section of the games.

Once you get all your pretty cards, you can trade them with other members! If you have a card you don't really want, but you find someone who does, send them an E-Mail, with you Name, your site, what TCG you from (some people have joined more than one), and what card you want and what your offering. If they say no, DON'T badger them! Be nice! We will not hesitate to kick you out of Ebony if we hear of you doing this! We won't lose any sleep over it.
