Letter Bomb

Silver Border Mechanics

“In silver border could you put cards in your opponents deck?” “You could.” Letter Bomb already does that.

A fine point.

Booby Trap Evolution

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.

Foil Cards Trivia

Hi Maro, after following your blog for 10 months it's finally my birthday, so do you have any trivia on foil cards? Thanks! :)

The only set where there is original content in the premium version is Unhinged. Some of the premium versions have jokes found only in the premium layout. The few I remember off the top of my head: - Goblin Mime is trapped in a foil box
- Richard Garfield, PhD has Richard’s autograph in foil
- Letter Bomb has a letter written out in foil
- Gleemax has a repeated pattern message written in foil Happy Birthday!

Letter Bomb Rules

Un-ruling needed: Multiplayer game, I play a Letter Bomb and put it in Josh's deck. Later, I get killed and removed from game. What happens to my Letter Bomb? Do you remove it, allowing a free shuffle, or does it still go off when revealed?

You remove it because you should have the right to leave if you wish once you are out of the game.

Un-rules Question

Un-rules question: I cast a Letter Bomb, which is shuffled into my opponent's library. Some time later, it is milled. Whose graveyard does it go into? Also, does that player still reveal all draws?

It goes into your graveyard. Note that it doesn’t count as the draw trigger so they don’t take damage and have to keep revealing cards.

Unhinged Foiling Secrets

There are a number of cards that have extra content (usually jokes) in the foiling process of some Unhinged cards. The three I remember off the top of my head is that Goblin Mime is trapped in a foil box, Richard Garfield PhD has Richard’s signature in foil and Letter Bomb has a message written on it.

Booby Trap Origin

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.

International Signing

Have you worked out the problems of sending you cards for signing from outside the US? I've been saving a Letter Bomb since Unhinged came out for either you or Richard.

I haven’t. Does anyone outside the US know how to get self-addressed stamped envelopes that can mailed to another country?
