Triskaidekophobia 1️⃣3️⃣ We're returning to my terribly beloved, gothic Innistrad πŸ¦‡ Here, at night, menacing Werewolves howl in the forests, evil spirits search for lost travelers, and vampire aristocrats fight for power and blood πŸ§›β€β™€οΈ People can only fight to maintain sanity in the midst of this creepy world πŸ‘©β€πŸŒΎ 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 πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« 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

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 πŸ¦‡
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 πŸ€“

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:
β€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."
β€” 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
