Title: "Cerca Trova" on Monarchs?
Post by: Anthony on November 09, 2013, 12:04:42 AM

So I was updating some picks on my site and noticed on the flap of the tuck box of my Monarchs the words "Cerca Trova", translated means, "Look Find"....
Any story behind the inclusion of these particular words on the tuck?

I'd bet it's meant more like "Seek and ye shall find..."  Ellusionist started that whole "Latin cool" thing on playing cards and it hasn't stopped yet...

Yeah, plus the latin on these kinds of things is usually pretty terrible.. "cerva trova", like Don said, doesn't really capture what's supposed to be said haha
I also noticed once, one of the T11 pages was down and it said in Latin "The page which you seek cannot be found", but the grammar was all wrong :P Just one of the problems of studying latin I guess haha
the worst is when you see incorrect Latin on a tattoo hahaha
