There were no multi-lands or even Magic:The Gathering in November 1992.

The guy "supposedly" posted six months before the game came out...

No other's who found this a bit funny? :

Original card title: Serra's Savanah
Follow-up card title: Serra's Stringtrimmer

Now, english isn't my primary language, so this "joke" might just be a
misunderstanding on my behalf.

If you click on show options (I used IE) next to the date you'll see that he
actually posted on 06/10/00. In fact, it seems that Google/Deja may have
had a Y2K issue from the first line under the reply links: Excerpts from
netnews.rec.games.trading-cards.magic.strategy: 10-Jun-100

That last line drew my attention to the other date. Still I was too lazy to
click that show options :)

then again, october 2000 is a bit late to be y2k bug, and shouldn't there
have been more messages if it really was a y2k bug. I see at least 5 or 6
messages that were from that exact date.
