Cryptids
bravelion83 wrote: ↑3 years agoVotes: JovialJovian, dydthoughtsShowHideI thought Cryptids were things like Worms and such in real Magic, not what I've discovered them to be when I read the linked Wikipedia page, so thanks to void_nothing for posting that link. Otherwise, my mind would have been taken in a completely different and wrong way. And I only knew about five of those monsters in that huge list. Let's go with one I didn't know before but that immediately caught my attention. I thought about making it a Viashino, but a Lizard Man being a Lizard Human just feels right to me.
Lizard Man of the Swamp
Legendary Creature — Lizard Human (R)
Morph (You may cast this card face down as a 2/2 creature for . Turn it face up any time for its morph cost.)
Foretell (During your turn, you may pay and exile this card from your hand face down. Cast it on a later turn for its foretell cost.)
Whenever Lizard Man of the Swamp enters the battlefield or is turned face up, if it was morphed, manifested, or foretold, destroy up to one target artifact, up to one target creature, and up to one target land.
3/3
IIW: Wizards (the creature type)
EDIT: responses (because there is not a discussion thread for this) @JovialJovian @void_nothingresponses to JovialJovian and void_nothingShowHideI knew some of them but didn't know they had a collective name. And anyway, here in Italy only the Loch Ness monster and the yeti are very well known. All the others I knew were from other sources: the chupacabra from Magic itself (if it weren't for Ravenous Chupacabra in RIX I wouldn't know what a chupacabra is), the Kraken too (I know it became famous thanks to some movies, though don't ask me what those movies are, I'm not a movie fan. I mostly know what a Kraken is thanks to Theros), or even LoadingReadyRun (them mentioning Bigfoot and Ogopogo in some streams, I had heard of Bigfoot before but not Ogopogo, and from what I got from them I thought that Bigfoot and the Ogopogo were the same thing. I guess they aren't.) Now that I think of it, I think playing GTA, the original San Andreas from early 2000s with the hidden Bigfoot in the country near Mount Chilliad at the southwest of the map might have been the first time I heard of Bigfoot ever. All of this just to show you how different the American and European pop cultures are. I've seen it multiple times by now.JovialJovian wrote: ↑3 years agoI guess I assumed most people knew what cryptids were from the popularity of Bigfoot.
Yes, probably. I was remembering the first half of the name and not the second. That's very probably it.

Nesting Thunderbird
Creature - Bird Elemental (MR)
Flying, first strike
If an instant or sorcery you control would deal damage to a single target, it deals that much damage to up to two targets instead.
At the beginning of your end step, if Nesting Thunderbird neither entered the battlefield nor attacked this turn, create a white 0/1 Thunderbird Egg creature token. It has "At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice this creature and create a token that's a copy of Nesting Thunderbird."
3/3

I guess I assumed most people knew what cryptids were from the popularity of Bigfoot. Thanks for the reference, void_nothing, though that list is not fully comprehensive.
Case in point:
Hodag of the Rhineland
Legendary Snow Creature - Beast
Deathtouch
: Hodag of the Rhineland gains Trample or Indestructible until end of turn. Activate this ability no more than once each turn.
6/6
IIW: PeanutsSPOILERShowHide@void_nothing Bah, that's just because Hodag has been "officially" debunked.

Call the Cryptids
Sorcery (Rare)
Reveal your hand and library. Put any number of creature cards you didn't revealed this way from outside the game onto the battlefield tapped.
You won't believe it until it's too late.
IIW: Card advantage in white.

Elusive Yeti
Snow Creature - Yeti (R)
When Elusive Yeti enters the battlefield and at the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice Elusive Yeti unless you return another creature you control to its owner's hand.
Elusive Yeti can't be blocked by creatures with power 2 or less.
: Return Elusive Yeti to its owner's hand. If you do, scry 2. You can't cast spells named Elusive Yeti this turn.
3/3
IIW: Heraldry
