I was looking to buy this deck and kept coming across the older, original edition at a fairly hefty price, and a revised edition at around $20.00 or less. Does anyone know if there is any difference (besides collectability:-) between the two versions?

The main difference is the packaging. I've got the 1st print in my collection, and it comes in that lovely two-stack & book format. I think the reissue is packaged just like most any other deck, with a LWB instead of the nice shiny book... and I would be surprised if the LWB wasn't at least a few shades of horrid. It really does require the same info that's in the book. Now, as for card art being changed, I don't think that was done. Illy
