I am likewise obsessed, still need to print a full sized Crab for the football sized Hedron. Tbh I'm basically the crab, I be admirin it ALLLLLLL the time

For those who don't know its majesty:

...a random day to be miffed about:

Remember when MTG had these creatures who were utterly inscrutable- didn't even seem to fit inside the five-color wheel, destroyed cards just by being on the battlefield at the same time, had a terrifying mix of blind aimlessness and sinister purpose to them, possessed powers ranging from warping space to undoing death? Things which had so many eerie hallmarks of the familiar that it threw everything else about them into sharp relief as wholly alien? Which were, perhaps for their raw, reality-shaking power, assumed to be gods by the people of Zendikar- a status which it's unclear whether it was truly mistaken?

And then the solution to 2/3rds of them turned out to be "just cast the biggest fireball at them"?
