10/10. Very interseting and unique. all of the chess cards I've seen were just 1 liner effects. Great pics, owait. 10/10

[~Duo~]

:) Just like Sweeny Todd, interesting, original, creative, and good effects. Although, why Quadripawn? Unicorn, Colonel, and Wizard I understand, but still... 10/10

[Max Darkness]

Although' date=' why Quadripawn?

[/quote']

 

It's a different name for a 'Fusilier'. I just liked 'Quadripawn' better. It gets it's name from the fact it can move like a pawn, but in all four diagonals.
