Sickening Shoal

Birthday Trivia

Hello Maro! Today is my birthday, June 15, which happens to be the middle month and then also the middle of that month. So my trivia question comes from Magic's current middle expansion, Betrayers of Kamigawa and the middle card of that set (rounded down): Sickening Shoal. (Or any of the Shoal cycle.) Thanks Maro!

The Shoals were designed, I believe, by Mike Elliott, the lead designer of Betrayers of Kamigawa. They were a tweak on the pitch cards from Alliances. Mike was trying to make which card you discarded matter more so he tied the effect to the converted mana cost of the card you discarded.Happy Birthday!
