Welcome back to Name That Card, post-crash! We got a relatively straightforward one for this week. Let's see who's got a great name for it!

Whoops! Forgot to add the 'non-mana' part to the abilities. That would have made for a rather odd first ability...

IDK, doesn't seem like a {w}{r} card...

But, going off my lore from Siege Angel, this could be set in the same world, and could be some sort of artifact that causes mass amounts of people to be less capable of acting against their galactic overlord...

So, how about Mass Nullifier? Maybe Mass Disruptor?

Admittedly, this could just be mono-white. The red was added for emotional support, since this sort of effect could be part of a land destruction strategy. It's also here to help alleviate the idea that white has fewer cards that add colorless mana than red does.

Also, it seemed to me to be harder to name that way. Sometimes I do things for that reason too.

­Bureaucratic Decadence

I asked myself what aspect of red would lead to doing things LESS immediately, and this is what came to mind. I was imagining basically the back-office Boros who instead of red-white's zealous monomania in "doing our jobs, but too well" got red's distractability and white's contentment with the status quo :)

Relaxation Chamber

Art depicts basically a sauna and jacuzzi, containing a few miscellaneous chilled-out humanoids. Perhaps enclosed in glass with a battle raging around them.

That's an incredible mental image... I wonder if they'd print that? I've heard (I haven't been keeping up with Magic lately) that MaRo has finally made some ground in his neverending quest to bring humor from the early decades back to the game (outside of silver-bordered cardsets, of course).

The third Ravnica block had a load of comedy flavour texts, such as Experimental Frenzy, Divine Visitation, Wishcoin Crab, Cosmotronic Wave etc. Book Devourer's whole concept is pretty silly. But I will admit the actual picture I had in mind is more suitable for an Un-set, something like Save Life or Urza's Hot Tub.

I enjoyed this idea :) I feel like it could be in black border if the art is basically "bath house" but played straight and the irony is implicit :)

They'd probably get cancelled on twitter, and everyone knows that is literally one of WOTCs worst fears.

You mean if it's sexy? I was imagining "lounging" not "raunchy". Or for something else?

'You mean if it's sexy?'

Yep. Since I can't really fault them for being cautious with printing that kind of artwork, I decided to make fun of them for it instead :P

'I was imagining "lounging" not "raunchy"'

Two bros chilling in the hot tub, five feet apart 'cause their not gay.
