I will now describe
Some Magic cards in haiku
Answer in comments.
1 -
Hitchcock would be proud.
No spells. Better idea:
Birds. Birds EVERYWHERE.
2 -
The 1/1 for 1
Kicks it with old-school goblins.
Why such a long name?
3 -
The Ramping elder.
You'll get SOME color mana.
Your opponent knows.
4 -
Progenitus sucks.
Why would you ever cast it
When you could just win?
5-
Stretching before you
Vast great fields without end.
Noob asks: How get sun?
6-
Best instant ever?
Superb card efficiency.
Kris Kross'll make ya.
7-
This is a card game.
Card games make one cut the deck.
But to LEAVE it cut?
8-
Power creep: a lie.
Old cards rule. Sixteen mana:
Massive four damage.
9-
Masters Edition.
Everyone's favorite 2/4.
But now with trap doors.
10-
The red Timetwister.
Even the same mana cost.
Vanna will help you.
11-
Black Lotus gets fixed.
But not really. Three for free
is always broken.
12-
Three, and he is yours.
B for the wings, B for life.
One for the deathtouch.
13-
Heavy weapons guy:
It costs four hundred dollars
To win ZEN standard.
14-
Goddamn minotaurs.
Trampling down my labyrinths.
Koori music soothes.
15-
A great zen koan:
Grass will grow under it, but
It's a lawnmower.
16-
Bay area's safe.
No combat damage is dealt
In San Francisco.
17-
It's weird in standard
To have a land changing hands
Rainbow-Vale-often.
18-
Seventy dollars
For this someday. Don't misjudge
Contraption power.
19-
I loathe Mana Drain.
You'll just be wasting mana.
This: strictly better.
20-
Single white male
Age 20; Seeks: Two mana
And less sucky stats.
Can only think of a few.
1 is deffo Dovescape
10 is Mindmoil ?
11 is Lotus Bloom
12 is Vampire Nighthawk
That's all I got, although I think the $400 dollar card is the banned white one from worldwake, cost 1 colourless and 1 white - the equipment fetcher? I can't remember the name.

13 is Jace, the Mind Sculptor . And 20 is Stoneforge Mystic ?
November 30, 2011 8:45 a.m.
17 is Contested War Zone
the 400 is either Stoneforge Mystic or Jace, the Mind Sculptor
5 might be Plains
That's all i've got for now.
November 30, 2011 8:48 a.m.
Stoneforge Mystic is the one I meant regarding $400

I like how the clues are in haiku format!! ;)
Could 7 be Shahrazad ???

Rhadamanthus says... #17
7- Traumatize
11- Even though it doesn't give 3 mana, for some reason I want to say Mana Crypt
15- card:Mishra's War Machine? I still got nothing for this one.
19- Counterspell
November 30, 2011 12:59 p.m.
mozerdozer says... #18
11 is almost certainly card:Lion's Eye Diamond.
19 is probably Counterspell since it is your favorite card.
4 is Natural Order .
7 I don't know. Gonna search the Gatherer.
November 30, 2011 1:02 p.m.
I wondered that due to 'llanowar'...
I guess it depends on a card being nicknamed 'the lawnmower' for it's name, or for it's action, ie, lawnmowing lol
November 30, 2011 1:45 p.m.
KrazyCaley says... #23
Now we've got them all!
4- Door to Nothingness - Nobilior
7- Traumatize - Rhadamanthus
11- card:Lion's Eye Diamond - mozerdozer
15- Llanowar Elves aka "Lawnmower Elves" - Zarum
19- Counterspell - Rhadamanthus
November 30, 2011 2:04 p.m.
:D I got one!!! Yeah! I so carried Rhadamanthus! lol jk!
November 30, 2011 2:39 p.m.
Sweet. I got 1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16, 17, 18, and 19. I'm quite proud of myself. :)

I only need to know one and that's Vampire Nighthawk . That is probably one of the top ten best uncommon ever developed by Wizards of the Coast.
December 4, 2011 2:26 a.m.
It is known as 'Vampire Brokenhawk' - my friends generally groan in disappointment when I play it, and complain that he should be rare!!
December 4, 2011 4:56 a.m.
Jokernaught says... #29
He isn't broken. Just seriously overpowered. Only people that play him love him. Taurean Mauler gets more groans then any other card I play.
December 4, 2011 5:23 p.m.
I didn't say he was broken, it is just the general consensus. Doesn't everyone love powerful cards they own lol?!
And really?! I see that as a creature that gets bigger and has every creature type - not amazing IMO. A Phytohydra is much nicer, it gets bigger for blocking.
Steel Hellkite generally demoralises my opponents.
Anyway, we mustn't tarnish this thread anymore, so I'm making a new one titled: 'Groan-worthy Cards'
;)
