I am probably missing the point compleatly, as I don't see the purpose of
'oH
Are you saying that we use 'oH as the verb? If so why are we using 'oH,
why not a different pronoun? Or is 'oH working as if it is "it (is)", that
would make sense.
On a different subject, what are the "Skybox Cards"? and where can I get
them.
