Standard Pauper Card o' the Day: Structural Collapse

And the holidays are upon us all!  Before I sit down with family for a spaghetti dinner (turkey will be tomorrow and I'm still sleepy from last night's get-together with the other side of the family) I'll see if I can find a Standard Pauper card since not everybody around the world celebrates this holiday.  Any Red cards about holidays?



MTGO - Traders: CARD NAME- 0.02 Tix

Aside from the incredible irony of holidays being associated with a collapse in structure, it turns out that this Rauck-Chauv holiday is pretty big deal for the Gruul Clans.  Planeswalkers of the anthropological persuasion are in for a challenge if they wish to know more about these wild celebrations. From the MTG Salvation Wiki:

"Little is known about the Ghor Clan, however, Rauck-Chauv, a holiday celebrated many times a year by the Gruul, is named after their two-headed leader. It is likely the Ghor are the most hedonistic clan."

There are a few other commons and uncommons in the Classic card pool that mention these reoccuring events.  So here, when we run into a holiday, it will always be Rauck-Chauv instead!  At least until I find another Magic: the Gathering holiday with Pauper representations.  

Mmm...savor that flavor!  Savor your turkey and cranberry sauce, too, and hey...I'm thankful you stopped by :-)  Happy Thanksgiving!   Peace,

- C

  1. Apparently posting images does not work on Blogger on Thanksgiving Day. I blame the parade :-) Will update once this problem is fixed. For now, time to get my holiday on!
