A very smart little mouse!

this is one of the few cards that has never had a signed copy, because, as the story goes, it was a gift to the creator of the game from a in-law of some variety (like an uncle's wife IIRC) and he used it without her permission and she was very peeved. She refuses interviews and if you somehow get her address and send some copies for her to sign (not an uncommon thing) she just chucks the whole pile into the trash and goes on about her life.

Ekundu Cyclops rocking a mean FUPA



While GIS the Ekundu Cyclops I happened a cross the April Art Contest from 2011 on MTGSalvation.com

Here is user FDW3773's interpretation of the Ekundu Cyclops

quote:

I agree with the article's author; those were pretty awful art designs for those cards.

For me, the Ekundu Cyclops perked my interest. Given that the Mirage featured some truly unique African styled fantasy art, the Ekundu Cyclops was a disappointment indeed.

So, attached is my new version of the Ekundu Cyclops that is meant to be consistent with (and pay homage to) Mirage and Visions styled art. Also attached is the original as a reference.

Enjoy!

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

It's one of the most notoriously unfun cards in the game cos it basically says 'gently caress you nobody gets to do anything any more'. Except the person who put it in their deck is obviously gonna have ways around it, so you just have to sit there like a putz

Why would the in-law be pissed about the creator actually using a card she gave him in a game?

Enough of the "Ogress Tittyfucking is non-consensual" bullshit. A Ghazban Ogress weighs 400 pounds, is eight feet tall, and can cut a man in two with a single swipe of its scimitar. If a human manages to tittyfuck one, you drat well better believe it's consensual

Legends was full of bizarre enchantments like this, a lot of them were pretty valuable back in the day regardless of the fact that most of them were largely useless. I have never once seen this card played but it was worth like $30 in 1995. for contrast, you could pick up revised dual lands for $5 ea while today a revised underground sea, historically the most expensive dual land, will run you about a thousand bucks.

why is it more valuable than other dual lands? Utility or just rarity

it was due to the relative power of colors in multi-colored decks. the next most valuable was Tundra which produced white and blue.




all of the blue dual lands were always the most expensive because early counterspells were quite powerful. Counterspell alone was deemed to be too powerful eventually and has since been replaced by Cancel





but then in Legends they released this absolutely insane card, easily one of the most powerful spells ever printed: Mana Drain



just a few sets after Legends, they came out with this monster:




Black and White were both colors that had powerful spells that could shut your opponent down in a number of ways, in that era blue-based multicolor control decks were insanely good.


edit: chaining an early mana drain into a mind twist is practically game over
