Title: Weirdest Magic Card
Post by: Xaol on December 03, 2012, 07:46:25 PM
What's the absolute weirdest magic card you've ever seen? Art, flavour, name or ability-wise. Here's mine!
{Phelddagrif}
A pretty awesome card IMO, but when someone showed me that for the first time I thought it was fake.

I really need to make it my Commander one day.

My vote definitely goes to {Steamflogger Boss}. Outside of having no application, it's effect just sounds really weird.

Same here, it actually has a ton of potential as a commander.

Black jester has hope that some day, riggers and contraptions will be a thing. I am too. But for the time being,  {Steamflogger Boss} +  {Infinite Reflection} = rigger time.

Is it weird that I read the flavor text of  {Steamflogger Boss} as the song the dwarves sing in the Hobbit animated movie? (The original one, maybe this reference is too obscure)

Second guess also does this:
"The first spell I play this turn is uncounterable!"

You could build a {Suture Priest}-style deck where you just give your opponents Hippos to kill them 😂

I had a life gain/ goblin game deck way back when. It was fun to play with a 5 player game.

Not too obscure. I'd have thought more people would comment actually. I remember using my X-Mas gift card to buy it when I was really young, love that movie. Bought Wizards same time. Old school goodness!

Haha I did that. It had all the obscure cards I own. Now that you mention it, I wanna rebuild it. Except this time, make it an  {Omniscience} deck and then once I crack that bad boy, LET THE CARNIVAL OF MADNESS BEGIN!!!
