Hyalopterous Lemure and Mystic Remora are really funny parallels to each other because they were both originally printed in Ice Age with comically misdrawn art. although they sound like gibberish, both "hyalopterous" and "lemure" are real words; the former means "having transparent wings", and the latter is a form of spirit or ghost from Roman religion. however, Dick Thomas made the same mistake as Google here and drew a hyalopterous lemur

since "lemur" and "lemure" are both different, real words, WOTC was pretty easily able to correct this one with a reprint. they also printed another Lemure in Time Spiral, mostly as an excuse for some Norin the Wary flavor text:

Mystic Remora, on the other hand... you know, i always thought it was weird that something as creature-like as a fish would count as an enchantment instead of a creature, but i (embarrassingly) recently learned that "remora" can also mean "drag" or "resistance" (apparently out of the belief of sailors that remoras stuck on their ships increased drag). this makes way more sense with the card type and effect than a fish. unfortunately, "remora" and "remora" are not different words[citation needed], and by the time the card was up for a reprint, it was because it was such a powerful and iconic EDH card that suddenly "fixing" the art would be way more trouble than it was worth. so they've kind of just rolled with it lmao

woe, fish be upon ye

I'd like it to be officially known that my blorbo Melek has been resurrected after 10 years of being killed off in his first appearance. I feel utterly escatic and insane. Melek is the reason why my blog is northernWEIRD. Melek is how I got started on Tumblr. And he is back!

They made my boy a detective! He can go solve Mazes and Riddles like he was always meant to!

I didn't know this levels of fawning, waiting, and disappointment could ever be vindicated??

If my throat wasn't busted right now, I would yell and scream and giggle.

It is my pleasure to report that the answer to your question is “April 2023.” With the long-awaited return of the Planechase variant format alongside the release of March of the Machine Commander, the act of rolling the chaos symbol on the planar die (and triggering the corresponding ability on any active plane cards) was given its own keyword: those abilities now trigger “whenever chaos ensues.”

While largely an aesthetic change, this keyword also enables other spells or abilities to cause chaos to ensue. So far, this has only been used on a handful of cards, but special mention goes to this exceptionally apropos application from the Universes Beyond: Doctor Who Commander decks.

Shout-out to TCGs with such rigorous keywording that even the word "card" has a specific definition and each card is obliged to explicitly tell you whether or not the card you're holding in your hand is a card.

He’ll fix a lawn on Ixalan

But then he’ll show up at the wrong client’s home

He mixed up lawns on Ixalan

oops

While we can’t confirm that this is canon, we like to think of Krav and Regna like this.

“How much Innistrad can I fit on one card?”

Check out my new venture, @supposedlysfwmagiccards! It’s exactly what it sounds like.

Some of the Legendary women of Dominaria. There’s just so much female representation in this set. :D

Now that Un-sets have established “Creatures can be superpositions of other creatures”…

A bit of old Amonkhet Goddess fanart.  Hot take—Hazoret would absolutely kill it in a suit.  Discuss.

Oh my god, Karen, you can’t just ask spiders why they’re… not black.

OP is not, strictly speaking, correct. (Although it’s true that the only mono-black Spider to exist thus far is a token created by another card.)
