So; no type. Not a sorcery, or an instant - presuambly some kind of spell, since it has a casting cost. A permanent, because it doesn't say otherwise?

The mysterious future! Spell of some kind? Interceptor Missile BNF tie-in
The mysterious past!
((C0)) ((C1))
The mysterious 'will this break the parser?'!
(((C-1))) (((C32034.2))) (((C27e595)))

Awwww.

Don't know where cards 1-30something have gone. I guess they may have been test cards I deleted. C50 works though: Terina Festival.

I'm just happy that the mysterious future panned out.

Also, beat Innistrad into a crooked hat. Thank you Type-4 generator :)

This is why i need to learn to read Vitenkese

Ok, so "knocked into a crooked hat" is a really reallY old (like; Dickensian - though it's American) slang term for, roughly, "beaten up"

Here, I'm using it for "Nyahhh, we made blue zombies wayyyyy before you did".

Type-4 is a magic format. Name comes from teh olden days of, what, a decade ago? They renamed "Type-2" to be "Standard" and I think "Type-1" is what is now "Vintage"?

Anyway; there isn't a type-4, we made it up. Based on Alex' magic card auto-generator. Which can be found here:
https://www.toothycat.net/wiki/bnf.pl?page=AlexChurchill/MagicCardGenerator

This comes up with some... more or less terrible cards. And occasionally some absolutely memorable gems. "Zombies are blue" is one of the better creations it ever spat up - since it's actually a valid (albeit fairly useless) magic card rules-text.

(Type 4 format was, basically; every turn play a completely random card; no we mean it, you don't get much more random than this. Laugh a lot at the results.)

And, of course, Innistrad introduced blue zombies. Making this rules-text both more viable and less surprisingly silly. (Remember, at the time; all zombies were black.)

Cool Story Bro! I'm officially an insider now!

Will check out purportedly-terrible card generator

And yeah, you can always be proud that you came up with something before a real magic set did it ! (Although technically the generator would get the award...)
