Are you playing online? I'm getting back into it for the first time since the fossil set. I am playing online for a while to see what works and what doesn't before spending any money.
A question to regulars from these threads, I occasionally see people posting their codes on here, do they work multiple times? Should I be keeping an eye out for these?
