Creature Bond

Frequency of Card Types Names

New 27 Mar 2022 Asked by studentofetherium 50 Comments

i had a thought last night, so this morning i decided to check how often card types come up in card names: creatures, one (Creature Bond, from Alpha); instant and sorcery, 0; enchantment, four (Copy, Enchant, Remove, and Steal); artifacts, 15 (but only three since Antiquities and only one this century); planeswalkers, six (a cycle from Invasion plus an old Bolas); and well over a hundred which have land in their name. i appreciate the consistently that this represents across the game's history


Interesting. Thanks for doing the research.

Misnamed Card Types

If or when: More cards with the names of card types they aren't (like Creature Bond, Ensoul Artifact, Tribal Flames and Land Tax)?


I assume when. We make a lot of cards.

Tunnel Deck Strategy

New 18 Jan 2018 Asked by combatdonut 80 Comments

My birthday was two days ago, but I forgot to ask for trivia, so here goes. How did your deck that won by casting Tunnel work?


I would cast a Wall, usually one with high toughness. I would add auras to make the toughness higher. I would then give it to my opponent by exchanging it with one of their creatures and cast Creature Bond on it (they lose life equal to toughness when it dies). Sometimes it was a 20-toughness Wall with one Creature Bond and sometimes a 10-toughness Wall with two Creature Bonds. Tunnel would then win me the game. Happy Birthday!

How did your tunnel deck work?


I played a wall. Beefed up its toughness with auras, gave it to my opponent, put Creature Bond on it (when dies it deals damage equal to toughness to controller) and cast Tunnel on it to win the game.

Killer Deck Strategy

Could you tell us how your deck that killed with Tunnel worked?


I would put out walls, use cards to build up their toughness. Then I would give them to my opponent, put Creature Bond on them (which did damage to their controller equal to toughness when they died) and then cast Tunnel (“Destroy target wall.”)

Do you have an article that explains your Tunnel deck?


Here’s the short version: 1) Play a wall. 2) Use enchantments to beef up the toughness of the wall to 20.  3) Give the Wall to my opponent. 4) Cast Creature Bond on the Wall. (When the creature dies, its controller takes damage equal to toughness.) 5) Cast Tunnel.

Unique Deck Strategy

You once wrote that you had a deck that's win condition involved playing the card Tunnel. To this day i have kept a copy of that card in my binder. Would you ever consider sharing the deck list or the main idea of it?


My deck was full of walls with a high toughness. I then would use cards to boost their toughness until it was equal to the opponent’s life total. I would Juxtapose to trade my toughest wall with one of my opponent’s creatures. Then I put Creature Bond on the wall I gave away and cast Tunnel on it. Remember that the goal of the deck was winning by casting the card Tunnel (“Destroy target wall”) so yes this was a pretty wacky deck.
