Game filler is always great fun. players need something that they can have fun with that won't destroy a game. Let's create a few fun yet pointless (and statless) items
---------------------------------------------------------
#1. A small hand mirror that makes anyone who sees them self in it appear to have a goatee. It only works for the person who is currently in possession of the mirror.

Funny story:
InQuest Magazine (I think it was InQuest) had an oversized Chaos Orb which I totally rooked someone into allowing into a (non-sanctioned) game. 
I had a proxy card that was a Mountain with "Chaos Orb" written on it. When I played it, my opponent cried foul:

Him: "WTF? a Proxy? no-one said anything about Proxies. Do you even own an actual Chaos Orb?"
Me: "Yes, but I thought it would be better to use a Proxy." 
Him: "No way. If you're going to put a Chaos Orb in your deck you have to use your actual Chaos Orb."
Me: "*Sigh*. Okay."

I pulled out this huge Chaos Orb and placed it on the table. He tried to cry foul again but everyone else said he insisted I use my actual Chaos Orb and that was my actual Chaos Orb. I used it, flipped it and wiped most of his board.

Unsurprisingly, that only worked once and only because everyone present thought it was hilarious.

no, see i can kill defenders, but 8 consecutive crits on a battlemind, eh walk it off.

Hi guys!  So, I'm a sort of returning player to Magic.  I say sort of because as a child I had two main TCG's I liked.  Yu-Gi-Oh, and Pokemon.  Some of my friends branched off in to Magic, and I bought two pre-made decks just to kind of fit in.  Like I said, Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon were what I really knew how to play.  I have a extensive knowledge of deck building in those two TCG's.  However, as far as Magic is concerned, I only ever used those two pre made decks.  I know how the game is played, and I know general things, but now I want to get in the game for real.  I want to begin playing it as a regular.  My question is, are all cards ever released from the time of the inception of this game until present day fair game in a deck?  Or are there special rules?  Are some cards forbidden or restricted?  Thanks guys, and I will gladly accept ANY help lol. 


I have the same problem with women.

That's what RPJesus tends to do. That's why I don't think he's a real person, but some Magic Card Archive Server sort of machine, that is programmed to react to other posters' comments with obscure cards that do in fact exist, but somehow missed by even the most experienced Magic players.

And then come up with strange combos with said cards. All of that is impossible for a normal human to do given the amount of time he does it and how often he does it.

He/It got me with Light of Sanction , which prompted me to go to RQ&A to try and find if it was even possible to do combat damage to a creature I control (in light that Mark of Asylum exists).

Blue players get all the overpowerered cards like JTMS.  I think it's time that wizards gave something to people who remember what magic is really about:  creatures.


Initially yes, Wizards was married to blue. However, about a decade ago they had a nasty divorce, and a few years after that they began courting the attention of Green. Then in Worldwake they had a nasty affair with their ex, but as of Innistrad , things seem to have gotten back on track, and Wizards has even proposed .

3. Thief-in-a-box. This looks like an ordinary Jack-in-the-box except when the box top opens, the "jack" inside pops out, grabs a random item (small sized) within a 2 foot radius, and pulls it into the box where it is dropped into a random plane and lost forever. Dexterity check prevents the "jack" from grabbing the item.

4) Fork of Horripilation: this two pronged fork is built with bone, and whenever you try to eat meat with it, the meat explodes violently over a 2 square spread. NOTE: only works on dead flesh

5. Training chess set that once belonged to the great wizard, but poor chess player, Kasparov Polgar of Fysher. The chess board is made of exotic woods and inlaid with mother of pearl, gemstones, and gold. The pieces are made of dragon ivory (white) and a black ivory of unknown origin. This magical chess set only requires one player, as the other player is the board itself. A person sets up the board, then selects a color. White (player or board) moves first. If the player makes a move that is not a wise move, the piece the player is holding shocks the player for 2d8 electrical damage, no save. Kasparov created this chess set to improve his game but all it ended up doing was giving him irreparable nerve damage in his right hand since he never fully understood chess tactics and the intelligence he bestowed upon the board believes that 30% of the moves are bad moves.

6) crash test gnome - a small wooden gnome statue made of 6 part (2 arms, 2 legs, head, torso). when dismantled it will put itself together again. generally used as an orc child's toy

7) gnomish repeating crossbow - a standard crossbow with what looks like a mouth attached to it. as long as you have it on your possession, it will repeat whatever you say VERY VERY LOUDLY

8) elvish vanity mirror - 5 full-length connected mirrors that can be spread around you. your reflection keeps telling you how fabulous you look in that outfit.

Way too fun to die.

9) A broken Decanter of Endless Water that constantly leaks and has its activation words messed up. ('Stream' starts the Geyser effect, Fountain is completely broken, and 'Geyser' causes the Stream effect with mud instead of water.

10) Rejected Candles of Truth that just scream loudly when lit.

11) A wooden goblet that does not appear to start filling until at least twice its capacity of liquid has been poured into it. It functions normally after that until, at a completely random point in the night, it expulses the liquid in a vertical fountain.

12) A leather hat that confers a horribly fake looking set of spectacles, moustache, and ponytail that are visible to everyone but the wearer.

13) A very fine looking quill that begins sobbing each time it is used to write; tears always dot the page, as well as light sprays of ink when the quill makes nose-blowing sounds.

14) An intelligent dagger that is both a pacifist and a vegan.

15) A Ring of Featherfall that has pulsing magic, meaning that it works for the first ten feet, then cuts out for ten, cuts back in for ten, out for ten, and so on.

16) A sash of fine silk that always changes to the very best color/pattern to coordinate with your outfit for the day.

17) A tapestry depicting daily life in an average village that changes slightly to mimic the weather at whatever location it's being kept at. (On sunny days, the tapestry has a clear sky and the townsfolk are going about business as usual. On rainy days, the tapestry has dark clouds and there are fewer townsfolk in the picture.)

18) map of mischief: magical intelligent map changes landforms and roads to always create lost travelers or at least send them to a different place entirely. best used within a city. at least then you can drop into the closest pub and ask for directions.

19) singing sword: (think 'bard's tale') this sword will sing to any audience and hates to be quieted.

20) smelly soap: when you want to disguise yourself to enter the orcish horde's stronghold, you'd better get stinky fast.

21) 'fake' dragon tooth: this tusk from some other beast is being sold as a dragon tooth as an alchemical reagent. creates different, but reasonable result when used as component.

22) scrimshaw key fob: each key attached to the ring is known to the key fob. the scrimshaw image on the large bone fob changes to show the house, lock, cage, whatever that a held key will open. the user holds the key and the fob and can view the image of what the key will open.

23) amazing unlock: this meticulously etched metal lock was never finished by the master artisan and cannot be locked as there is not a locking mechanism inside. but the clasp can be closed. the appearrance of the closed lock is similar to an amazing lock and thus appears difficult to pick.

24) Jigging Boots - These boots have been enchanted by a wizard who loves to dance but is horrible at it. So he enchanted these boots to produce the same movements as everyone else on the dance floor. If there are different dances going on at once the boots pick the most challenging of them.

25) The Noise Maker of Dragon's Breath - This looks like a standard streamer-noise maker used at parties. But instead of a simple peace of paper or glitter coming out a plume of dragons breath comes out relevant to the size of the user. But this device is safe for children since the dragons breath is an illusion so it can burn anything.

26) The Lever of Ever Pulling - This is a simple lever attached to a piece of wood. On the wood is the writing "Do not pull". When someone pulls it (eventually someone will) the writing changes to say, "Why did you pull this lever? I told you not to. Don't do it again." When they pull it again the text changes to something like, "Do you always not do what your told? Why do you pull this when I tell you not to?" This keeps on going until the user gets bored and puts it down. Then the writing changes back to "Do not pull."

27) Self Tying Boots - The boot tie themselves when put on someones feet. Once tied the laces are in a perfect bow that won't come undone until the wearer wishes them to (or until the second function of the boots is fulfill). The second function of the boots is at a random point (usually when the wearer is sitting down for a while) they untie themselves and retie themselves so they are tied together.

28) The Obsessive Feather Duster - This feather duster was enchanted and is also slightly intelligent. It was made to clear a house of all dust. But it is over zealous in its duties. If someone walks into the house and they have dirt or dust them them they will be assailed by the feather dust who will attempt to get every last spec of dust and dirt off of them and will not stop until the command word is given or it is broken.
