We are proud to reveal what we’re pretty sure is a new card… we think… maybe. Hold on wait, didn’t this used to be a sorcery? No? Are you sure? I think it might have had arcane. Anyway, we think this will have applications in constructed formats all the way to vintage. Vintage is the one where you can draw on cards to make them other cards, right?
Look at that, it’s uh, it’s incredible! It… uh, it kills a guy, maybe?
Ah the hell with it, that’s really bad. I’m going home.
Hello, gamers. Look at your creature.
Now back to me. Now back at your creature. Now back to me.
Sadly, he isn’t me. But if he stopped wearing a goth dog collar and switched to a Basilisk Collar, he could attack like he’s me.
Look down, back up. Where are you? You’re in the red zone with a creature your creature could attack like.
What’s in your hand? Back at me. I have it. It’s a binder with four copies of that card you love. Look again, the cards are now Mox Diamonds.
Anything is possible when your creature attacks like a Basilisk and not like a puppy. I’m on a ledge.
CAIRO, EGYPT — At the sentencing for Wall of Denial, who was found guilty of perjury, obstruction of justice, and just plain difficult to deal with, a Stern Judge told the condemned Wall of Denial that he will be killed by a Malfegor at noon on one weekday in the following week but that the killing will be a surprise to the Wall.
“You will not know the day of the killing until the Malfegor knocks down your cell door at noon that day and quickly shreds your flesh and devours you,” the judge told the Wall, who continues to deny any wrongdoing.
After the sentencing, the Wall of Denial made a statement concluding that he will escape from the killing.
“My reasoning is in several parts,” said the Wall, “First, I have concluded that if the killing were on Friday then it would not be a surprise, since I would know by Thursday night that I was to be killed the following day, as there would be only one day left in that week, so it cannot be on a Friday if it is to be a surprise.” He added “By the same reasoning, the killing cannot be on a Thursday as that would also not be a surprise, since I would know on Wednesday that there are only two days left in which I could be killed, and I already know I cannot be killed on Friday.” The Wall continued with this line of reasoning, eliminating Wednesday, Tuesday and finally Monday as possibilities.
When contacted by GoodGamery News, the Malfegor claimed that he was free to kill the Wall any day of the week, and that it would come as a surprise to the Wall. “Wall of Denial has concluded that he will escape the killing,” explained the Malfegor, “and therefore, it will come as a surprise to him no matter what day I choose to quickly shred his flesh and devour him.”

Dauntless Escort Goes AWOL
JUNGLE SHRINE, ALARA – A Dauntless Escort went AWOL today during a routine battle near the Jungle Shrine. GoodGamery News caught up with the not-so-dauntless Dauntless Escort for an interview, in which he appeared strangely animated, and even enchanted at times. When asked why he fled the scene, the Rhino Soldier claimed that the end times were near and that the Wrath of God was coming down upon us. His Sigil Captain dismissed these claims as the ravings of a religious lunatic, and said that if the Wrath of God had come down he would know about it. “I’ve done some pretty disturbing things in my time for a few +1/+1 counters,” the Captain said, “and believe me, I would be dead by now if God had any say in the matter.”
