...I don't think COC ever had as many power level issues as COC.
Is this that New Non-Euclidean Math all the Puppies of Tindalos are learning in school these days?
So what has changed?
Doh!!!!
I meant that CoC hasn't had as many power level issues as AGOT.

Cheers,

I am impressed. Nyarlazorbec has outdone himself. Beyond deckbuilder (or using deckbuilder) he has identified even more changes to reprinted cards in core.
Flavor text observations: perhaps FFG felt Blind Submission needed more juice - looks good. Messenger from Beyond is poorer without the flavor text (good, a rare that separates itself from its reprint). Sedated should not have changed. The original flavor text is more direct and exactly the same anyway. Original Mystic Bounty Hunter mentions the unknown "O'Donnell." No need for the reference in the more self-conscious core.
Is Lord of the Silver Twilight actually different? I still don't see it.
Looks exhaustive, the list you made, and convincing especially what with your cthulhu processing skills. Now I doubt we'll find any more changes.
