Lightning Skelemental Trivia

New 04 May 2023 Asked by juuuuuuuush 41 Comments

It’s my birthday and my favourite Magic card is Lightning Skelemental, so I was wondering if you had any cool trivia about making it or other variations on Ball Lightning?Also I want to sneak in a thank you for being such a positive pillar of the Magic community. You are a hero to me and I’m sure many others as well.


Modern Horizon sets love mechanical smash-ups that have a fun name. We do Ball Lightning variants all the time, but be haven’t done a lot of multicolor ones. This card came from us realizing that we don’t like saboteur discard creatures because of the repetition, so put it on a creature that only hits once.Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated!Happy Birthday!
