It's almost October! We all know what that means! Halloween is about to begin! So turn off the lights and put on some eerie music, because I have a spooky story to tell.
On this very day, one season ago, a group of kids just like us snuck out at night to build some decks and cast some spells. There they were, building some three-card decks, when one kid says to the others, "Hey, have you ever heard of the...
Black Lotus?" The other kids laughed, "What's that? Some kind of flowery removal spell?" But the first kid, let's call him Mark, kept going. "Guys, I'm serious. No one's seen it in years, but some say it can let you cast
Liliana of the Veil on your
first turn."
Valkir snorted. "Why would I need that when I have my sweet
Nezumi Shortfang deck? Look, it comes out turn one, makes slow decks discard,
and can deal up to 8 damage a turn." The other kids nodded, impressed with Valkir's deck.
"You don't understand," Mark continued. "With two
Black Lotuses, you could cast a
six mana card
immediately."
"Not against my deck!" Edacade boasted. "Look, I've got an
Artifact Blast, so your big scary Lotus thing is useless. I'll just hit you with my 1/1 while you do nothing!"
"Aaarrrgh, fine! I'll just go find the
Black Lotus on my own!" And with that, Mark stormed off into the night. A few minutes later, another kid, (also named Mark) was showing off his new
Jinxed Choker deck. "You see, the trick is that I let the Choker get big and
then I play-"
His deck tech was cut short by a scream from nearby. "Aaarrrgh!" Valkir ran over to see what was going on, but all he found was another group of kids playing commander. "Hey, did you see anyone else come through here?"
The commander players shook their heads. "I was too busy making Ulamog robots with
Feldon of the Third Path," one said, and the others nodded.
Vaguely creeped out, Valkir kept walking until he felt a pair of hands clutch at his leg and heard a harsh whisper. "Valkir!" He looked down and saw Mark, kneeling on the ground and bleeding from the mouth.
"Oh my god, Mark! What happened to you?"
Mark released a sputtering cough, barely able to speak. "Ban...
Flash."
"What?"
"Also
Barren Glory and
Show and Tell." And with one last wheezing cough, he collapsed, dead. Valkir knelt down, spotting a Magic card forcefully stabbed into Mark's back. Horrified, he reached for it and slowly slid it out to get a closer look. "No," he whispered, realizing what he was holding. "Noooooooo!"
has come to haunt us once again.
Will you embrace the darkness? Will you stand against it? Or will you forge your own path to glory? There's only one way to find out. Let's play some 3 Card Magic.
