The never ending Cuff

This is my first Gint-A-Cuffs. This is only the second year for this fine event, so I guess it is probably a lot of people's first time. I am enjoying it, as I enjoy any excuse to rip packs. But it sure is a lot of work. Pardon the crappy pictures, they are pictures of the cards rather than scans, because I don't have a scanner. Also, I forgot to photograph the backside of minis that should have their backsides shown. If I face disqualification from a top-five position, than I will scan 'em. Otherwise, trust me.

Aphrodite, Lord(ess?) of Olympus (3, LO). Wouldn't Athenian Gods or something be a better title if you are making it an equal opportunity set?
