Welcome back! This week we have a silver-bordered card on our hands. And evidently there's an entire Wikipedia article on 'Noes goes'. We live in a strange world.

Originally this dealt damage to the last player. But I didn't want situations where someone waited until a player had 3 life or less, then tried to organize that player's loss with the rest of the players at the table. There's no wrong time to draw a card, and no obvious immediate impact to the game when you do, so I added that instead.

'Rulings'

Putting a finger to the side of your nose is part of the cost. Other people putting a finger to the side of their noses is not part of the cost, nor is it part of the resolution. It can be done at any time between those two points

Players who are in the game, but not currently present (in the bathroom, or getting refreshments, for example) do not count as the 'last person'. If they arrive while the last person is being determined, however, they can become the 'last person'.

More than one person may agree to share the role of 'last person' for the purposes of moving the game along (This may happen, for example, if multiple people are currently performing dexterity tests with cards like Working Stiff, and neither player wants to give up first.)

Oh, and don't forget this creature needs a type!

I wanted at least one where the name Surrey of made sense without the flavour text ;)

I think I'm going to go with some serial-number-removing. Inspired by the "tapping your finger against the side of your nose" gesture meaning "keep your nose out of it" or... well...

Trickster Priest. Creature type is obviously cleric; flavour text has to be "It's a secret".

My vote to Froggy. How did I miss that terrible terrible pun?

I rather liked Swordfish Surprise. In part because I could imagine the sort of layered image that would have come out of that. 'Swordfish Surprise' kind of sounds like 'mystery meat'. You could use a tuna fish can as the art focus, and make a Charlie Tuna like character printed on the side of the can, and use some sort of flavor text pun like "The key to his open-faced fighting style was uncanny."

But Vitenka voted for Froggy. What else could I do? ;)
