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 🦇 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 🤓 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: “I 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

Like in a Fairy Tale 🧚‍♀️ 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 🦇 "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" 🗡 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 🐀 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 💀 Where do you think the children from the city of Hamelin disappeared and what is behind this legend? #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny

In the Footsteps of the Amphins 🌊 Continuing with the Lovecraft theme, MTG has many references to the work of the gentleman from Providence! And one of the most mysterious is the race of Amphins, identical to Lovecraft's "Deep Ones". Amphins are a race of lanky, cunning, partially aquatic humanoids from the world of Shandalar. They can live both in the salty depths and in overgrown shallows 🐸 Very little is known about their civilization, and those bits of information that are available are collected by only one scientist adventurer - Gor Muldrak 🤠 His research leads him deeper and deeper into the abyss of the secrets of this ancient race! And judging by the art of his map, the amphins themselves guess about his search and are carefully observing... But here is what the adventurer himself writes in his works: “The amphin, a race of amphibious humanoids, have lived peacefully for generations in the depths of the seas, but their numbers have expanded, and their ammonite temple- caves can no longer hold their burgeoning numbers. The amphins' priests have set their sights upon Shandalar's shorelines, and their hunters have girded themselves for war. Meanwhile their mnemomages have infiltrated the sewers of each of the major cities. They have used their mind control powers to erase all knowledge of the amphins' existence from the minds of humanity. The near-universal ignorance of the amphin in every major university from Ardestan to Lesh is simultaneously evidence of the amphins' power, and of their nefarious intent." - Gor Muldrak, “Cryptohistories” Do you think there are similar hidden civilizations in our world? 🧐 #cute #teen #babyface #babygirl #skinny

Triskaidekophobia 1️⃣3️⃣ We're returning to my terribly beloved, gothic Innistrad 🦇 Here, at night, menacing Werewolves howl in the forests, evil spirits search for lost travelers, and vampire aristocrats fight for power and blood 🧛‍♀️ People can only fight to maintain sanity in the midst of this creepy world 👩‍🌾 Of course, many fail to keep their sanity and most people develop phobias, for example, a fear of the number 13 - Triskaidekophobia 😱 There are several funny cards that play with meanings of this phobia! For example, the enchantment of the same name, which makes the player lose if his life total is equal to the fatal number 🤯 If the opponent does not find how to deal with this enchantment, the number 13 will actually start to scare them! It's funny that on the art of this card, a frightened villager runs away from a house in which 13 kitchen tools are hanging, 13 logs are lying in the stove, 13 blood stains are on the wall, and 13 fragments are scattered on the floor 😵‍💫 The other two cards, "Tree of Redemption" and "Tree of Perdition", are mirror versions of each other from different times! The first allows you, the player to swap the life total with your tree, and the second can force you to swap life total with your opponent's tree 🌳 And, of course, both trees have endurance equal to 13! "Tree of Redemption" gave freedom and forgiveness to the hanged souls, but with the arrival of Emrakul, the tree went a little bonkers and now "There will be no absolution." 😡 The last card, "Triskaidekaphile", is a big fan of the number 13 and hands, her card has exactly 13 jars with hands 🫣 And she allows you to win the game if you have exactly 13 cards in your hand - such are the puns in MTG haha 😸 "She's always willing to lend a hand. It just won't be her own." Do you have any unusual phobias? #cute #teen #babyface #nerd #skinny
