Trying to come up with a Secret Lair reskin only made me realize how many classic YTP bits have to do with food.

Here's a selection of cards that haven't been reprinted for 15+ years before their Secret Lair. Also known as my favorites.

A formatting quirk: for cards with multiple types, there's not one type that always takes priority for "this permanent". Sometimes there's a clear logic to it, like how referencing lore counters uses "this Saga" (see [[Summon: Esper Valigarmanda]]). I think "this creature" usually takes priority unless there's an exception, but [[Summon: Ixion]] is questionable. They seem to have skirted around it entirely with [[Darksteel Colossus]].

All these talks of retro frames. I want a Secret Lair of the jankety Alpha formatting.

I spent, like, an hour doing research to help someone make a custom UB commander set, and only now found out they have me blocked for some reason. Curses.

I just kinda posted this wantonly, but I'm genuinely an Alacrian-Yanggu-truther. We don't know where his first planeswalk was, and if anything lets a dog cross the planes with you, it's a soul-link.

Nothing fills me with more seething rage than seeing someone use 'kindred' when they mean 'typal'. EDHRec does this constantly, and I swear one day I'm gonna Vandalblast their servers.

18% of Ketramose decks on EDHRec run Necropotence. I can't wait to see this in cEDH or somethin'.
I just won the stupidest way ever. My opponent had both of these out.

And he had too many cards in his hand at end of turn and so he died.
To clarify here's what happens: He had 8 cards in hand. that's too many, so he had to discard to 7. He discarded a card. Necropotence exiled it from his graveyard. He exiled a card from his graveyard, so Ketramose drew him a card and made him lose 1 life... But then he had 8 cards in his hand, so he had to discard down to 7...

I've been struck with making a Villainous-type box, where attacking isn't allowed and each deck has an alternate win con they need to both find and use. It doesn't quite work yet, but it could.

I've gotten obsessed with this kind of question lately, so I'm asking you lot.
