Basket Under the One Bridge – 4/18

OVERALL: This is likely the only negative card in the entire set of 18. It represents the event from last year when I was laid off after 7 years with a stable, employee-owned company. Despite their claims of treating employees like family and making several promises, they let me go. While the exit was handled politely, it felt like a betrayal of the long-time promises made throughout my tenure. This card symbolizes the ‘basket of lies’ given to to me and all their other employees. I’m not planning to call out their name here but there is subtle hints in the flavor-text. The original name was One Bridge Basket of Lies.

GAME ATTRIBUTES: The mono-color is black. Instead of a creature its a curse that can effect gameplay of your opponents land. Typically, I’ve only seen phasing affect your own cards. When this card gets played it can target all opponents non-basic lands. It’s a really mean card and can make certain lands unusable for your opponents. It may be over-powered – I should have added “until end of the turn” to give a bit less power. As it stands, it can be lessened in power or made to be mythic-rare. In the actual game, if this card were to become really popular, it would be banned. Magic the Gathering keeps a banned and restricted list.
