Fortune Cookie (Item, SW)
F: 0 C: +1
G: 1 F: 1
Attaches to a Dragon Clan personality for 1 less gold.
Open: Destroy the Cookie to give this personality +1F/+1C.
Click here to open your fortune cookie.

Not the best card ever... but certainly among my favorite 'flavor texts.' Go ahead. Click the link. Make my day.

=====================================
I think "F" here refers to "Fortune", and "C" "Cookie".

But F: 0 C: +1 ? G: 1 F: 1 ? Less gold?

I don't get the "secret code" either, but they have some pretty funny fortune-cookie sayings. Imagine finding this one: "It's a deal. Meet me at the corner of 5th and Davidson at midnight, and bring the money. Come alone. If there's anyone else with you, the girl loses a finger."

Apparently my sneakiness and cunning would do the shadow proud.

I'm so thrilled.

Okay, let it be.

The question seems beyond the realm of language.

I don't want to be a cracker of secret codes.

=============================

Some one please explain "do the shadow proud", for it seems a new secret code for me.

It means that any shadow would be proud to possess my level of sneakiness and cunning (that is imagining that a shadow could be proud).

...And imagining that I am, in fact, sneaky and cunning!
