Dark Dominion Zero Issue
The River Group - 1993

Notes:  One Level-1 insert card was only available with the card album; the
QuantumView Lens is required to see hidden features of the Level-1 inserts.
At one time a #4 Level-2 insert was planned for Dark Dominion tin set, which 
was later canceled.  Instead, packs may contain randomly the #4 Level-2 insert 
from the Plasm set, otherwise available only in Plasm tin sets.  Thanks much 
to Jim  Hollister and Chris Brown for updates!

Box: 36 packs of 9 cards (four box-art variants).
Common sets: approx. 2.14 per box if collation were perfect.
