This can't be a Raymond Swanland card. It needs more spikes and triangles. :-D

One more mana over Reckless Charge, but hey... Instant! Woo that counts for so much!
(Blocking? What? no.)

Edgar Markov should have been made into a legendary creature card. D:

@Binaro Just wait for a future Innistrad block.
Edgar Markov isn't the first legend to get mentioned in various expansions but not printed right away.
In some cases it literally took a decade, but then we eventually got the legend that had been alluded in the flavor texts for so long.
Ib Halfheart would be one extreme example: He had been referenced by various cards in Ice Age,
which is from 1995. In 2006, he finally saw print in Time Spiral.

Personally, i'm still waiting for Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar to see print...

Whoever that vamp is, he still only dreams of being as fast as the dude in Burst of Speed (why didn't they just reprint that? With flashback it fit the block perfectly.).

That's a ghostbuster in the background, but I didn't know they could suck up vampires.

This guys makes me think of Wolverine.
Wolverine... Uncanny... Hidden reference?

Unlikely, but kinda cool.

Actually, I think the longest time between when a legendary was quoted and when they got a card would be Norin the Wary on Jade Statue.
