The "Rain of Gore" Debacle
General forum
Posted on Nov. 26, 2020, 4:14 p.m. by Idoneity
So, as of yesterday, Wizards of the Coast announced on the most controversial Secret Lairs as of yet, arguably more so than Walking Dead.
This is specifically with "Party Hard, Shred Harder." The selected cards do indeed have a rather stark, vehement naming convention, yet they opted to include Decimate. This is a rather beseeming card, but I reckon there are ones with far better names.
Wizards needs to learn from the community that there are even edgier names of cards from Magic's past, so type the top three of your choice!
I shall get this started: Brand of Ill Omen, Cry of the Carnarium, and Liturgy of Blood.
Have fun with it. :)

These cards have the looks of something printed on a shirt a MMA fighter wears.

I'm failing to see anything "controversial" about these cards or the set as a whole. And just picking "edgier" cards due to their name and not function kind of defeats the purpose. Murder or Obliterate would potentially fit what you're talking about, but ignoring the card's effect seems silly :P

I like the ones they picked cuz they are good playables. I feel like cry of the Carnarium would make sense but I wouldn’t want it.

I was largely jesting on the "controversial" part. I love this Secret Lair immensely, and I just wanted to hear some people's ideas for what could have been here.
The suggestions are discounting the card's effects and merely focusing upon the names.
This is for fun—not to strike meaningful discussion.

MagicMarc - I really like Vile Requiem! 'Twas a fantastic choice.
Soulshriek is also a little too befitting.
