Pointed Discussion

omg, i thought that i had found all the rare gems to be found in magic until i found this card. the ability to win the game just by having all 26 letters of the alphebet on the feild is pretty cool, the only way it could have been better is if it had Q in it's name lol

Combine this with _____...and the rest is history....^^

Very difficult to use. Dante80, you can't use _________ to have all 26 letters and win, according to the FAQTIWDAWCC. You have to choose a name that actually exists in Magic. Although it can be the name of a card in another language.

It's not that difficult to use if played alongside Our Market Research Shows That Players Like Really Long Card Names So We Made This Card To Have The Absolute Longest Card Name Ever Elemental. Jack-in-the-Mox gets you the missing J and X, and then you use _____ to become an Amulet of Quoz for F, Q, and Z. Hurray!

Andrew's Occasional Random Card of the Day #7 - 7/3/2011 - Now I know My ABC's

Just a few days ago, as of writing this, I placed an order for some cards which I will use to assemble my Form of the Squirrel deck. Form of the Squirrel seems like the type of silly card that is very evocative and interesting, and has some build-around-me potential, but which is ultimately bad. They make cards like this in black borders as well, though not quite to the same degree.

Now I Know My ABC's is obviously silly and build-around-me, but, on the surface, to me at least, seems a little more easy to 'assemble'. And when you do 'assemble' it, you win the game. I'd have to actually do a search for tons of permanents to find the right build for a deck built around this card, but it seems like doing that search and finding the right cards is the actual game this card is presenting to players. Anyway, I'd have to see an optimized deck list to know for sure, and I could be totally wrong, but three mana seems much too cheap for an upkeep-win trigger.

I think the worst part about it is that despite being obviously silly, it doesn't create interesting or silly game play. Unless you consider scouring permanents' names for particular letters to be interesting.

If only there was a card name with every letter of the game.
Aw well, just need to find one more card with the letters J, F, Q, and Z in them, and I will have 3 cards to win the game~ xD

Also, did you know that, since this is a perminent, you have A, B, C, I, K, M, N, O, and S already?

You need a deck with zombies, sphinxes, and... does anyone offhand know of a creature that has a "Q" in it?

The flavor text gives a good guideline of what to look for in the names for your permanents.

Refer to Chance Encounter's flavor text.

You know what bothers me about this card? The spelling error. There should not be an apostrophe in the card name.

And thus Quag Vampires was born.

I wonder how long it took R&D to think up the flavor text here.

Hm, Qumulox hits a few handy letters.
