Make a copy? I supposed this to be a breach of SJG policies to make a copies of cards and to play it instead of originals... Your advice looks like a cheat instead of masochistic searches for rare Heart of the Anomaly etc... Munchkinly :)

Being serious, if I print by myself the exact high-quality copy of "Heart of the Anomaly" card, will SJG pat me on the back and allow to play it for tournament or blame as a blatant cheater?

It was mentioned many moons ago on the Daily Illuminator, I'm sure. At any rate, Wil Wheaton was a guest at this convention and the card has "special" abilities if signed by him. I say "special" since, as the card is written, it is weaker if signed, though I believe the intent was to increase the bonus as opposed to replace it.

Ok, imagime, I have the Heart, no matter how, no matter copy. (But someone can have the original - they read this thread carefully, too!) How to treat the rules of this card? I mean, does Gadgeteers get +4 or +6 bonus?

It's not clear on the card, and if you read LITERALLY Gadgeteers get only +4, and hypothetical Wil's signature would weaken the Heart... But isn't this a good case to Heart of the Anomaly's errata? If intention and common sense was to increase the power, should I read its rules literally or according to the main idea of super-duper-starry-card?

You're Munchkin Man, and your word makes official ruling. So, please, say a word on Heart of the Anomaly! :)

Thanks a lot!
