Watch them eating 😱 MTG is famous not only for its interesting mechanics, beautiful art and fabulous prices for a piece of colored cardboard šŸ˜… This game is also known for its love of Easter eggs of various kinds! There is such a fictional world in this board game, it is called New Capenna! In fact, it is New York of the 20s of the last century: fashionable suits, jazz, art deco, sparkling skyscrapers and mafia quarrels In the New Capenna release, there are a lot of references to various cultural events and phenomena of that time. For example, I really love the Easter egg on the "Riveteers Ascendancy" card, it refers to the famous photograph "Lunch atop a Skyscraper". This photo was taken in 1932 in New York during the construction of Rockefeller Center in Manhattan. The photo shows eleven workers having a peaceful lunch, sitting on a beam of the 69th floor of a skyscraper, and that's no less than 850 feet (260 meters)!!! This photo is known among people as a piece of American history itself, so MTG simply couldn't ignore it when creating such an issue šŸ˜‡ And what are your favourite references in MTG cards? #cute #teen #babyface #babygirl #skinny #mtg

Like in a Fairy Tale šŸ§šā€ā™€ļø

We are going on a new journey through the MTG universe, this time we will find ourselves in the fairy-tale world of Eldraine, where old legends and familiar stories from childhood take on a new form! The world of Eldraine is based on the Arthurian legends, German and English fairy tales, so this world is very dark and dangerous šŸ¦‡

"Emry, Lurker of the Loch" is a reference to the "Lady of the Lake" from the Arthurian legends - it was she who gave Arthur the magic sword "Excalibur" šŸ—” Many people mistakenly believe that Arthur took "Excalibur" out of the stone, but this is not true - Arthur took another sword out of the stone, which most likely bore the name "Clarent" 🪨

"Blow Your House Down" is the from the famous children's fable "Three Little Pigs", in which a wolf blows away the flimsy buildings of the piglets with his powerful breath, and only one of the pig brothers - hardworking and persistent, manages to build a strong enough house to hold back the onslaught of the wolf 🐷

"Totentanz, Swarm Piper" - The Pied Piper of Hamelin is a rather creepy legend, because it is recorded in the chronicles along with other ordinary events and even has an exact date of June 26, 1284 šŸ€ The local authorities refused to pay the Pied Piper who saved the city from rats, and he took all the children over four years old with him from the city, more than a hundred people disappeared without a trace in a day 🤯
It is interesting that the card is called "Totentanz", which in German means "Dance of Death" - a popular medieval story telling about the frailty of human existence šŸ’€

Where do you think the children from the city of Hamelin disappeared and what is behind this legend?

Shadows over something 🌘

As I said last week, MTG has a huge number of Lovecraft references, there are even entire worlds that are imbued with an atmosphere of horror. For example, the dark and gothic world of Innistrad šŸ¦‡
In this world, everything has always been unsettling, and in one of the latest expansions, they even summoned an ancient, abominable Deity from another reality!

The series of these expansions is called "Shadows over Innistrad", which in itself is a bold reference to Lovecraft's story "Shadows over Innsmouth". In addition to the general atmosphere, the Ancient Deity and all sorts of distortions of space, objects and perception, these sets squeezed in a couple of direct references to the work of the gentleman from Providence šŸ¤“

For example, the Rancid Rats card and its flavor text: "They're in the walls! Can't you hear them?" almost literally refer us to the story of Lovecraft "Rats in the Walls" - a very creepy story teaching us that sometimes it is better for us not to know the history of ancient estates and what our ancestors did there...

And the card "Cryptolith Fragment" and its reverse side "Aurora of Emrakul" (in MTG there are double-sided "transformer"-cards) keep an interesting flavor text:
ā€œI felt compelled to take the twisted stone, and I abandoned my horse's burden to accommodate its weight. Now, its continued glow illuminates my home and warms my mind."
— Garner Kroft, Moorland farmer

This text alludes to Lovecraft's work "The Colour Out of Space", in which farmer Nahum Gardner and his family encounter a meteorite falling on their farm, a very creepy story, far ahead of its time and, by the way, this is the writer's favorite work ✨

And here is "Emrakul, the Promised End" herself, whose radiance and bad influence we discussed above, this is an Ancient Deity, very similar in its properties and manifestations to Yog-Sothoth, Shub-Niggurath or Cthulhu Lovecraft! In MTG, the analogues of the Ancient Gods are called Eldrazi - these are unpleasant creatures from other dimensions, very s
