    What does it actually do?

    1 damage to your opponent and each of your opponent's creatures at the beginning of your upkeep. It's a decent card.

    I was thinking it should disable all creatures on the battlefield. I mean, you're delivering them pies, and I'm sure they're all famished from fighting all the time, so they would stop what they're doing to pig out.

    Lol. That would be OP though. Like everyone suddenly having drowner but without the drawback of having to use FB or TSN

    I'm happy you guys are liking it. I had a lot of fun coming up with the card text and the card being intentionally vague so you'd want to try it out. It is a free mythic, and is more of a joke card, but we figured it would be really fun to give everyone Wizard's holiday card.

    The Idea is really good and you should do it more often.

    I think the card is just right for its purpose. Everyone can get it and it has some strength but not earth shattering strength. It turns the battle in one of attrition. Can you outlast your opponent whichever side you are on. It provides that little bit of pressure that may just be the straw that broke the camel's back.

    Think of all the strong cards that start out weak like the various hydras, Sage, etc.
    Suddenly that Greenwarden of Murasa is weak to Inner Struggle.
    Pair with Aether Grid for an extra damage point on the first creature. Suddenly its much more of a threat.
    Imprisoned in the Moon is now a full on kill with no lasting benefit to the opponent as well as Turn to Frog. Granted there are benefits to leaving them to clog up an opponent's board (except PWs like Nahiri).

    Any other combos anyone has come up with?

    Love it! Thanks! Unrelated but I wanted this card for Christmas. It's like you read my mind. icon_e_biggrin.gif

    Not over powered but fun none the less. Added it to Tezzeret the Seeker. Great card for his deck.

    Definitely a fun idea! Thanks.

    This was a super fun gift!

    There's a small part of me that wants someone to break this card so that suddenly every tier 1 deck is running it. Just for the absurdity of pies ruling the game.

    I like that this card isn't technically part of any existing set. Always liked the un-glued cards from paper MtG. Thanks!

    As previously mentioned it reminds me of the unglued/unhinged type cards. Personally I think its a bit underwhelming for a mythic brand but won't complain about the free factor, or the extra 16 points in blue mastery.

    The more you feed them, the fatter and more complacent they get maybe?... so each enemy creature gets -1/+1 at the start of your opponents turn
