    And now, a very special message from our sponsor…


    Did your son start wearing flower rings and hang around with mice and deers overnight? Did your daughter suddenly develop an ability to fly and breath fire? During the wrong time of the month, we mean. Do you happen to find yourself frozen in a block of ice? If any of these conditions sound familiar to you, you or your relatives might be enchanted with AURAS.

    Auras are special kinds of enchantments that become attached to people and cause potentially hazardous effects. However, auras can be treated. I’m Miracle Worker and with my one-step program, you and your family can be safe from auras again. But don’t believe me, believe my satisfied costumers:

    “I used to be enchanted with an aura that made me feel like I was being stalked by an elephant at all times. It was really disturbing. But thankfully, Miracle Worker solved my problem. Thank you, Miracle Worker!”
    “Oh yes, Miracle Worker has helped me greatly. I used to be like, completely covered with tattoos. They didn’t itch or hurt or anything, but can you imagine being covered with tattoos at all times? Miracle Worker saved my life. Thank you, Miracle Worker!”
    “I was diagnosed with terminal parallax dementia. Miracle Worker said there was nothing he could do. He told me I only had one turn to live and that I should — What is this? What are you doing? I told you to interview the HEALTHY patients! Turn that thing off, shut that —
    “I remember I once found and put on an armadillo cloak, but then I couldn’t get it off! The wooden zipper was really tricky, you see. But Miracle Worker unzipped it like it was nothing. Miracle Worker, you’re the best!”

    So call right now and get rid of your aura problems permanently. Guaranteed satisfaction, or your money back! (Miracle Worker does not guarantee satisfaction. Only a small percentage of auras are harmful to their wearers. For doubts or permanency of symptoms consult your medic or town healer.)

  • Wizards Comments on Leaked “New Direction” for Magic

    This article is a Summer of Emilevin’ contest entry. This 6 week contest gives out both weekly prizes and final prizes of booster packs!

    Renton, WA. — The impromptu diffusion late Friday of a possible new card has shocked Magic: the Gathering fans and players around the globe, as the news spread like the plague across the internet. The card, depicting a young Adonis, is apparently the first of many, and is part of a bold marketing strategy by local hobby manufacturer Wizards of the Coast to bring more women — and social recognition — to the game. Facing this avalanche of discontentment, Wizards decided to set the records straight with its fans.

    “It is a well-known fact that most Magic players are male,” said Wizards representative Mark Rosewater with an awkward smile. “Generic, unkempt males. I mean, you attend any of our Pro Tour tournament, and it’s pretty clear that Sausage Fest is the best way to describe it. And it’s not the fresh, just out-of-the-butcher’s-shop kind of deli we all chew on with a smile, if you know what I mean. Nor do you have the bucket of stale, foreign ale to wash it down, like you would during Oktoberfest.”

    Yet for years, Wizards of the Coast was fine with that.

    “But that was before Justin Bieber,” a more somber Rosewater added. “Our pro players realized they wanted not just the blue envelope (money prizes awarded to the best players), but also the fame that came with it. Suddenly, they wanted to live like rock stars. Live fast, die young. Sex, Drugs and Magic: the Gathering. The usual. Suddenly, Baneslayer Angels and Primeval Titans just weren’t enough to keep them happy.”

    “We could no longer ignore our players’ requests,” Rosewater rambled on. “They wanted swarms of more than relentless rats. They wanted scores of wailing young banshees with breasts bouncing all over the battlef… errr, place. The way we had been doing things, we just couldn’t provide them with that.

    “We reasoned that if we could bring more girls into the Magic bandwagon, we would have more female fans going out of their minds as our pro players stepped to the finals table. It’s a decision we did not make lightly, but we felt it was necessary. Again, all the better to please our mostly-male customers.”

    In an attempt to increase the female demographic playing Magic and attending sanctioned events, Wizards of the Coast announced today that their Fat Packs (introductory products) will no longer contain printed 18 X 11 toilet paper, but will instead come loaded with a complimentary bar of soap. The very first such bar of soap will feature an exclusive Jace, Mind Boggler engraving by Chimp Jackman.

    “Not to spoil the surprise, but there will be bars of soap rarer than others. There’s even plans for a mythic rare bar of soap late in 2013,” Rosewater added, “If the idea picks up.”

    “It’s going to feel pretty special to wash your armpits with Jace,” admitted the Wizards representative, “We at Wizards Headquarters have had the chance to use those Jace soaps for a few weeks already, and you better believe they are astounding. We all smell pretty darn fresh. Our hopes is that our Pro Tour players will do the same, and that entering that community center will feel more like entering a florist’s shop than opening the garbage can under an unrelenting summer sun. That, we believe, is the first step towards bringing the girls to the game,” Febreze-scented Rosewater added, visibly content.

    The second step, it would appear, involves the leaked card and others of its ilk. Shirtless Werewolf, the card that caused all the commotion when it was leaked late last Friday, is proposed as an alternative to commonplace bikinimail-clad female characters in current fantasy art.

    “With the departure of Rebecca Guay from our list of regular artists, we needed a way to make the girls look at our cards and say: Hey! This game is pretty cool!” second Wizards representative Aaron Forsythe touted. “If the girls like the art, the girls will play the game. It’s as simple as that. And most girls are not impressed by huge dragons gobbling skittle-sized humans, or even planeswalkers with huge breasts torching the whole world in a fit of fury. They are harder to please.”

    “But I’ve known the way for years,” he added with a grin, before lifting his shirt and revealing a flat, perfectly defined muscular abdomen. “Been working on it myself between drafts and shits.”

    “And I mean that last part in the literal sense,” he concluded, smugly.

    So far, however, the players themselves seemed more alarmed than pleased about the soon-to-be abundance of hunks on their cards.

    “I don’t want to tap this shirtless creature,” said one homophobic player who didn’t want to be identified. “I mean, it’s so gay. He’s supposed to be a werewolf, but where’s the hair, you know?”

    “I’m quitting the game as soon as those cards are tournament-legal,” said another player, before sticking up a dime-sized booger underneath the table and scrubbing the remains off of his black ChannelFireball t-shirt, where it left a faintly glossy mark.

    “We’ll simply make the cards better. We can do it. We have the technology,” said Rosewater, after being confronted with what those players and others had said earlier. “We’ve done absurd cards before. We’ll do it again until touching [the hunk cards] feels natural. On the plus side, you can expect a lot more boobs flashing during sanctioned events,” added Rosewater with a slightly pervy smile. “And not just from the guy with the fat breasts who’s been eating KFC all weekend-long”.

    Shirtless Werewolf and its brethren will be available in a little more than twelve months, when Phyrexia Rising hits stores across North America. Until then, players will be able to pick up the very first “hunk card” at FNM events throughout the month of November, as a foil, alternate-art Ancient Ooze card.

    Point

    My Premium Jace, the Mind Sculptor Will Only Appreciate

    by Stu Wexler

    Sure, it may have come with an exorbitant price tag, but it is certain to pay handsome dividends both by its direct utility and as an investment. In all probability, it will remain ubiquitous throughout its tenure in standard due to its irreplaceable functionality and incomparable performance.

    Moreover, Jace, the Mind Sculptor should gain comparable traction in the modified extended format. This universal applicability combined with its excessive artificial privation, and the degradation of existing supplies could drive its value even higher.


    Counterpoint

    Nice Rainbow Wizard, Pussy

    by Brock Templeton

    Lemme see what you got there, dork! Some kind of sparkly princess sticker? Oh, my bad, it’s like a baseball card of a guy in a dress.

    Maybe when you grow up, you can be like this drag queen magician you love so much.

    Aw he wants it back. Wait, it’s worth how much? I bet you had to beg your mommy to get you one for weeks. You’d sure be in trouble if something happened to it.

    Aw, is the little baby gonna cry? Cheer up, I’m not so good at division, but each piece should still be worth about 20 bucks, right?

    Open Letter to Planeswalker

    by Suncrusher


    You. Planeswalker. You ever summon Suncrusher? No. Foolish Planeswalker incur Suncrusher wrath. NOTHING SURVIVE WRATH OF SUNCRUSHER! Suncrusher crush suns. What you crush? Beer can on forehead. Planeswalker say, “What good crushing suns? No suns in Magic: the Gathering.” Suncrusher destroy creatures, too. Many creatures. Can you destroy creatures? No. You fling cardboard, destroy chance of mating. Suncrusher disappear when danger, return more powerful, ready to destroy more creatures. What you do? You disappear when hungry. Return ready to destroy sandwich. Suncrusher also never in danger. It figure of speech.

    Suncrusher strong. All agree. Also handsome. Yet Suncrusher see no play outside Limited. No one play five-color artifact deck. Why planeswalker no play Suncrusher? Suncrusher destroy creatures for you. You no want. “Not big enough,” you say. “Nine mana unmorph Krosan Cloudscraper. Bigger than Suncrusher.” Bigger, yes. Fail to realize: Suncrusher CRUSH SUNS. Crush hurt. Sun not recover. Cloudscraper scrape clouds. Scrape barely hurt at all. Cloud still there. Maybe rain a little. Suncrusher like rain. And flowers.

    Sorry. Suncrusher distracted from primary objective. Point is, planeswalker should play Suncrusher. Suncrusher gain life? No. Gain life terrible. Suncrusher discard your hand? No. Discard your hand awful. Suncrusher from Homelands? No. Homelands unplayable. Suncrusher CRUSH SUNS. Also destroy creatures.

    Planeswalker, play Suncrusher.

    Please?

    (Good Gamery has miraculously acquired a leaked, yet-to-be-published MagicTheGathering.com announcement! Take a look!)


    Let’s bring out the psychographic profiles for a bit. Quick! What’s the first card that comes to mind for the following?

    1/1 creatures?


    Good job! Let’s try something different…

    Art by Chippy?


    Maybe one more for good measure.

    “(2): Choose one – Destroy target Aura attached to a land; or the next time target land would be destroyed this turn, remove all damage from it instead”?

    • Spike: …I don’t play EDH.
    • Johnny: Does it go infinite? No?
    • Timmy: AIN’T NO EMRAKULLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • ???: Pyramids, obviously. At least someone still knows the classics.


    Now, who’s our mystery man?

    Introducing another choice for the non-psychonormative out there:


    Bartholomew!


    Bartholomew may or may not have been around forever, but he makes sure to act like he has been! He is the Magic equivalent of your senile grandfather with the stories about how things used to be, except instead of talking about the World War II, Bartholomew likes to discuss Legends print runs. We always try to make Magic a game for everyone, and so, for the month of August we have…

    Exclusive Bartholomew promos!

    Can you remember what they do?



    “Magic used to be something between the guys down at the paper mill.”


























    “It’s been a long time since then. I miss my kids.”



























    “Get off my lawn.”
