Here's the newest creation from my bad ideas laboratory: Let's play Mad Libs with Magic cards.

For anyone unfamiliar with how Mad Libs work, you take a piece of text, and replace various words with blanks. Then you ask people who don't know what the original text is to suggest words based purely on what part of speech they are - a noun, a verb, an adjective, etc. You plug the new words into the blanks, read the new version of the text, and hilarity (hopefully) ensues.

In that spirit, I've taken an eraser to the textbox of a well known Magic character, and I could use help from everyone here to fill it back in. I need:

1. A noun.
2. A verb.
3. A noun.
4. A verb.
5. A noun.
6. A noun.
7. A noun.
8. A verb.

If you want to play, please reply with a word and the number for the blank it corresponds to. When we're done, I'll put the card back together and we can evaluate the flavor and story implications of "Jace, the Potato Smasher" or whatever such monstrosity emerges.

You should somehow make a story about the new character, or even another madlib thing. Anyway..

Let's give this a classy finish:

Alright, the AF&S hivemind has birthed an exciting new planeswalker:

Liliana of the Tankard

Planeswalker — Liliana

+1: Each player snoops on Poland.
-2: Target player defenestrates a joint.
-6: Separate all peace target player controls into two pies. That player twerks all peace in the pie of his or her choice.

Loyalty: 3

So, interestingly enough, I think there's actually a pretty clear story for this incarnation of Liliana. She's some sort of spy who is working as a double agent to support her secret drug habit. World peace has no chance of going un-twerked if she's left unchecked.

Actually, she seems sort of anti-drug, if she forces other people to defenestrate joints.

I assumed she was going to pick them up on her way out, once the police leave.

But I could also see her as an anti-drug crusader: "Just say no. Or else."

That's true, she could have set a bucket or something outside the window.

Also, this sort of effect might necessitate a Circle of Protection: Twerking in the next Un-set.

I feel that's something that society as a whole could use...

Bravo!

This seems almost too YMtC for this zone. Not that I care. But I might make another version over there. I wonder if I could somehow make a madlib set - oh yes, yes I could. . .
