So now we're making actual people into magic cards eh?

I know he was in the assassins creed games, but it's still funny to have an actual historical figure as a magic card. Can't wait for my Teddy Roosevelt mono-green commander!

Same initial reaction! But 2 thoughts after:

  • Arabian Nights is one of my favorite all-time sets and while they're not exactly the same, I love(d) cards like [[King Suleiman]] and [[Ali from Cairo]]. Leonardo da Vinci is a famous historical figure but he has a bit of mystique to him like those ARN cards and created similar good feelings for me for some reason. Cards from P3K like [[Kongming, "Sleeping Dragon"]] were also historical figures I believe and feel really cool too as cards.

  • I guess it's possible others feel that way about Teddy Roosevelt but I don't at all and I really hope real people like this are capped at far off historical figures like Leonardo or ancient leaders/thinkers! I don't know why exactly but they feel different.
