See Challenge # 158.

I wasn't sure what to make of a bunch of non-sense words. Convultious seemed like convolution, which made me think of Mind Twist. Crucious made me think of the Cruciatus Curse from Harry Potter, which made me look up the etymology on the wiki and told me the etymology had to do with torture. I thought a -/- was a good way to represent torture. Yeagles as eagles, so creatures to be the trigger. I had no idea what to make of either ors or alard. The name is World of Hurt with the words changed under the influence of the flavor text.

A twisting text to match the twisting passage sounds good to me. Funny how this is similar to Death Match, but different enough to be its own thing.

I've been trying to figure out what I'll end up doing when I finally make this card. I want it to sound like nonsense, but still be a real functioning card. One option included making two new keyword mechanics that are nonsense words, then defining them with reminder text. Is Steamflogger Boss a one time thing? Or can cards reference words that don't exist for the purpose of having a strange flavor? Hmm.
