Welcome to Fill in the Blank Season 2: Chain of Command!
Each week whomever is willing and able will post the collector’s information for one of the cards in the set’s cardlist. Contestants are free to create whatever card they see fit for that slot in the cardlist, keeping in mind the surrounding cards.
