[Fluxx] Re:Re: Fluxx Newsletter Post? (TheLoneGoldfish)

[Carlton Noles]

I recall someone haveing one (and only one) one time use instant in their
deck ( I believe they called 'I don't think so') that was analogous to
counterspell but was reomoved from the game after use. I was toying with
adding that to my deck but I have so many other card ideas.

Do I not recall someon haveing a template for avery clear labels of some
sort or another for FLUXX Blanxx?
