Fans Spot An Among Us Reference In MTG's Edge Of Eternities

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering's sci-fi Edge of Eternities⭕ has successfully managed to stave off accusations of being a dreaded 'hat set'. With the entire Sothera system and its many planets, species, and cultures to explore, it feels more like the traditional worldbuilding of yesteryear than the trope-heavy reference mush of Karlov Manor or🔯 Outlaws of Thunder Junction.

It isn't entirely without its memes, though, as fans have noticed one card is a not-very-thinly veiled reference to lockdown darling Among Us. As far as references go, it's hard𝐆ly the most egregious; it also helps that the ca♏rd is pretty darn good.

That's Very Sus Of You, Wizards

Vote Out is an uncommon sorcery that costs three generic and one black mana, and for it you get to destroy any target creature. That would be a ridiculously expensive cost for a simple kill spe𓂃ll, if it were not for the fact the card also has convoke. You can tap creatures to pay for it instead of using mana, effectively turning it into a free spell.

The card is, of course, a reference to Among Us, the social deduction game that has teams try and identify who among their colourful collection of astronauts is the Impostor, before they're taken out one by one. I don't need to explain Among Us to you, you probably play♔ed it over Zoom during the Covid-19 pandemic, after all.

The squat shape of the im🍸postor, the similar visor, the airlock they're being pushed out of; it's not the most on-the-nose reference we've ever had in Magic, but it's still pretty blatant what it's supposed to beཧ.

The Card Bangs, Though

If this was just a throwaway piece of draft chaff, the fact it's a reference♏ to Among Us may have felt crowbarred in just for the sake of having a meme. But, luckily for Vote Out, the 𓂃card itself is likely to see play.

The ability to convoke it means you just need to tap a few creatures to cast it for free, and with enough black 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Wizards from Final Fantasy lying around, you're likely going to do just that. You can also convoke as a way to trigger cards like Kona, Rescue Beastie 𝔉or Reluctant Role Models' survivor triggers.

Edge of Eternities also has plenty of its own tapped-matters synergies to make use of. Chrome Companion gains you one ♎life, Starfighter Pilot has you surveil, and The Serieme gives tapped legendary creatures indestructible. With all these ways to profit off tapped creatures, using them to destroy aꦦn opponent's creature for free makes this silly Among Us reference one to watch out for.
