A little box that jumped up and down as if it was letting off steam. It was used to distribute cards on a rotating system and was fuelled by cashing in duel chests. You had to get a certain amount of points within a gradually diminishing time span; as I recall it started at 24hr and shrunk over six steps by progression down to 10 or 12 hrs. It was great fun and the only genuine tension the game has provided outside of tournament cutoff once a day  --- You had to calculate how many duelling chests of which size that you needed by a given minute; if they hadn't matured you could sometimes buy them open with a few rubies. Then you were given a spin (or two) at the Magic Apparatus which might or might not reward you with the desired card. It appeared in two events, but then when the Wheel of Fortune allowed many players to expand their stash of rubies beyond belief, and they all bought a full 12 slots in the duel box, it stopped appearing. I think it is just speculation that it is about to make a return, although it is a good idea: not only is the game more gamey, but it also stimulates some steady income for the DEvs.
