It's my birthday! Can you give me some trivia on my favorite green card: Throat Wolf?


How many of you know what Throat Wolf is? It’s Magic’s first urban legend. It was supposedly the first super-rare card that appeared very infrequently. Supposedly as the rumor goes, there was a full sheet of Throat Wolves each with their own special ability that got hand sorted and placed in packs. The one thing they all had in common was firstest strike. This was back during Magic’s early years when most of the chatter was on the Usenet. Players would talk about how they opened one and would then explain the strange rules text that it had. The trivia you might not know is that there was a set that was going to make a Throat Wolf but it got changed last minute and it ended up being Heart Wolf (in the set Homelands). Happy Birthday!
