    Bramblefort Fink is from the Oko Planeswalker precon.

    Idk what the terence Trent D'arby reference is, but I know 2 things that referenced him;
    Homestar runner: in 3 times Halloween funjob, in the "standing around in the spooky woods commenting on each others' costumes" portion, coach z mistakes strong bad's o-zone costume for terence Trent D'arby as part of a joke where everyone thinks his costume is someone else, as they did in the first 2 toons where he was Carmen Miranda and Carmen Sandiego respectively where people mistake his costume and both times he says "I'm Carmen freakin miranda/Sandiego!" And in this one he starts to say the same thing before remembering he is, in fact, ozone from breakin' and not a Carmen
    The other is from Jojos bizarre adventure where the game guy in part 3 is named D'arby after terence Trent D'arby

    If I recall, this set added warlock as a creature type. So they did add something for the witches, but they chose a word that is less gender-coded (since witch is heavily associated with women).
    Edit: I was reminded that they avoided “witches” to not insult the religious practitioners (I believe they are called Wiccans).

    • @Mordalon
      @Mordalon 3 місяці тому

      Weirdly, they didn't go back and change any previous Witches into Warlocks. Most Witches before were either Shamans or Wizards.

    Okay I have a stupid question as a non-Magic player. Adventure cards: Do you get both the sorcery and the creature or just one or the other? Gatherer does not spell it out (hoho) and so I'm lost.

    • @Argusthecat
      @Argusthecat 3 місяці тому +1

      You can cast them as the sorcery side from your hand, and it goes into exile (on an adventure!) and then you can cast it as the creature side after that. It only works in that direction though; you can't cast the sorcery while the creature is in play or anything like that.
