Does anyone know where online you can buy Battletech singles? My friend was playing the game, and I noticed one of the missions in the last battletech set (crusaders) was named force of will. Assuming Battletech isn't very expensive, those would be about the coolest Force of Will proxies I could have if I could figure out where to buy them. Anyone have a clue?

Force of Will is also a Jyhad (V:teS) card, iirc.

I don't think you could use them as proxies, though. Battletech cards are a little bit thicker and a little bit stiffer than Magic cards, I think. Possibly enough so that you could tell your FoW's apart from the rest of your deck. If foils are distinguishable from regular Magic cards, I wouldn't hesitate to suggest that Battletech cards and Magic cards would also be distinguishable from one another.

This is correct. The difference is quite noticeable.

Oh well, I'd only use them casually as proxies though, so it'd probably be fine, because I wouldn't be abe to tell the difference at all even if it is they are a bit stiffer. A Jyhad cards any different from magic, and if not, where can I buy Jyhad FoW's?

Dunno about Jyhad, but it's def. both a Battletech and a L5R:Shadowland card.

In case you care, here's a link to an image of the Legend of the Five Rings card:
