Was booby trap inspired by letter bomb?


Booby Trap was originally Letter Bomb in the Tempest file. It was decided that we didn’t want to shuffle your card into your opponent’s deck in black border so the card was changed in development. I would later make the card in silver border.

Do you know who designed Booby Trap? It was in my first pack of cards, along with Spirit Mirror :-)


I designed both Booby Trap and Spirit Mirror. Note that Booby Trap was originally the card that became Letter Bomb in Unhinged (designed by Mike Elliott). We couldn’t figure out how to mark it so you knew whose card it was. Unhinged solved the problem by having you sign it.
