4/1 #scryfallrandom is great in your, uh, Clyde Bruckman deck?
Jhoira of the Ghitu {1}{U}{R} Legendary Creature — Human Wizard {2}, Exile a nonland card from your hand: Put four time counters on the exiled card. If it doesn’t have suspend, it gains suspend. (At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, you may cast it without paying its mana cost. If it’s a creature, it has haste.) 2/2 Illustrated by Kev Walker
3/31 #scryfallrandom is @tappytoeclaws.bsky.social in her favorite wig
Bloodshot Cyclops {5}{R} Creature — Cyclops Giant {T}, Sacrifice a creature: This creature deals damage equal to the sacrificed creature’s power to any target. After their first encounter, the goblins named him Chuck. 4/4 Illustrated by Ray Lago
3/30 #scryfallrandom is the fling king
Deathgaze Cockatrice {2}{B}{B} Creature — Cockatrice Flying Deathtouch (Any amount of damage this deals to a creature is enough to destroy it.) “Sometimes I come across a stone finger or foot and I know I’m in cockatrice territory.” —Rulak, bog guide 2/2
3/29 #scryfallrandom sure is a card that was a 15th pick in limited one year
Embersmith {1}{R} Creature — Human Artificer Whenever you cast an artifact spell, you may pay {1}. If you do, this creature deals 1 damage to any target. The Vulshok see the artificer as a catalyst, bringing the spark of creation that ignites change. 2/1
3/28 #scryfallrandom does a ton of extra damage in artifact decks but sadly is on cast and not on entry, which doesn't really capture all the tokens that could trigger it
Overwhelming Instinct {2}{G} Enchantment Whenever you attack with three or more creatures, draw a card. The biggest difference between a victory and a massacre is which side you’re on. Illustrated by Ron Spears
,3/27 #scryfallrandom is a trivial means of card draw in green
Reveillark {4}{W} Creature — Elemental Flying When this creature leaves the battlefield, return up to two target creature cards with power 2 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield. Evoke {5}{W} (You may cast this spell for its evoke cost. If you do, it’s sacrificed when it enters.) 4/3
3/26 #scryfallrandom is one of the greatest combo enablers of all time
Fists of Ironwood {1}{G} Enchantment — Aura Enchant creature When this Aura enters, create two 1/1 green Saproling creature tokens. Enchanted creature has trample. Saprolings add the three and the four to the “one-two punch.” Illustrated by Glen Angus
3/25 #scryfallrandom is one of my all time favorite auras, which turns any creature into 'dude brings a friend', my favorite card archetype.
Treasure Chest {3} Artifact {4}, Sacrifice this artifact: Roll a d20. 1 | Trapped! — You lose 3 life. 2—9 | Create five Treasure tokens. 10—19 | You gain 3 life and draw three cards. 20 | Search your library for a card. If it’s an artifact card, you may put it onto the battlefield. Otherwise, put that card into your hand. Then shuffle.
3/24 #scryfallrandom is exactly what a d&d inspired treasure chest card should be.

3/22 #scryfallrandom is a card that does some really cool things for multiple strategies with the addition of early red's favorite word "random" choking up the pipes
Clockwork Beast {6} Artifact Creature — Beast This creature enters with seven +1/+0 counters on it. At end of combat, if this creature attacked or blocked this combat, remove a +1/+0 counter from it. {X}, {T}: Put up to X +1/+0 counters on this creature. This ability can’t cause the total number of +1/+0 counters on this creature to be greater than seven. Activate only during your upkeep. 0/4 Illustrated by Drew Tucker
3/22 #scryfallrandom is an incredibly evocative and cool card from the dawn of magic
Kethek, Crucible Goliath {2}{B}{R} Legendary Creature — Phyrexian Beast At the beginning of your end step, you may sacrifice another creature. If you do, reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a nonlegendary creature card with lesser mana value, put it onto the battlefield, then put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. 4/4
3/21 #scryfallrandom is sort of a reverse birthing pod?
Chainer, Nightmare Adept {2}{B}{R} Legendary Creature — Human Minion Discard a card: You may cast a creature spell from your graveyard this turn. Activate only once each turn. Whenever a nontoken creature you control enters, if you didn’t cast it from your hand, it gains haste until your next turn. 3/2 Illustrated by Steve Prescott
3/20 #scryfallrandom is the master of madness
Varina, Lich Queen {1}{W}{U}{B} Legendary Creature — Zombie Wizard Whenever you attack with one or more Zombies, draw that many cards, then discard that many cards. You gain that much life. {2}, Exile two cards from your graveyard: Create a tapped 2/2 black Zombie creature token. 4/4
3/19 #scryfallrandom churns through your deck faster than the zombies it creates can move
Omen of Fire {3}{R}{R} Instant Return all Islands to their owners’ hands. Each player sacrifices a Plains or a white permanent of their choice for each white permanent they control. “Let Balduvia burn to warm Kjeldor’s hearth!” —General Varchild Illustrated by Pete Venters Part of the Reserved List
5/18 #scryfallrandom really, really hates azorius and control decks

3/17 #scryfallrandom was the best and most universally playable card to come out of Shadows over Innistrad, and is a powerhouse in nearly every format it is legal in
Fathom Fleet Swordjack {3}{R} Creature — Orc Pirate Whenever this creature attacks, it deals damage to the player or planeswalker it’s attacking equal to the number of artifacts you control. Encore {5}{R} ({5}{R}, Exile this card from your graveyard: For each opponent, create a token copy that attacks that opponent this turn if able. They gain haste. Sacrifice them at the beginning of the next end step. Activate only as a sorcery.) 4/3
3/16 #scryfallrandom ie an absolute beating in my treasure deck

3/15 #scryfallrandom is a really cool card to mutate onto
Goblin Bombardment {1}{R} Enchantment Sacrifice a creature: This enchantment deals 1 damage to any target. One mogg to aim the catapult, one mogg to steer the rock. Illustrated by Brian Snõddy
3/14 #scryfallrandom is an absolute banger of a card

Put that card into your hand. Loyalty: 5 Illustrated by Wisnu Tan
3/13 #scryfallrandom is a great way to solve the problem of having too many people to play magic with
Hunting Grounds {G}{W} Enchantment Threshold — As long as there are seven or more cards in your graveyard, this enchantment has “Whenever an opponent casts a spell, you may put a creature card from your hand onto the battlefield.” In the heavy hush of Krosa, drawing on mana is like ringing a dinner bell. Illustrated by Mark Brill
3/12 #scryfallrandom can get incredibly goofy in multiplayer, as long as you can keep your hand stocked.
Soul Burn {X}{2}{B} Sorcery Spend only black and/or red mana on X. Soul Burn deals X damage to any target. You gain life equal to the damage dealt, but not more than the amount of {B} spent on X, the player’s life total before the damage was dealt, the planeswalker’s loyalty before the damage was dealt, or the creature’s toughness. Illustrated by Rob Alexander
3/11 #scryfallrandom asks what if we gave black a fireball but also let use red to fuel it but also drain them if you use black and then just write it in a fucked up way.
Wings of Aesthir {W}{U} Enchantment — Aura Enchant creature Enchanted creature gets +1/+0 and has flying and first strike. “For those of courage, even the sky holds no limit.” —Arnjlot Olasson, Sky Mage Illustrated by Edward P. Beard, Jr.

3/4 #scryfallrandom is not quite on par with other free spells from its era but it still kills things

3/2 #scryfallrandom is just an absolute pleasure of a card top to bottom. My favorite card from dominaria, throwing back to my favorite theme from childhood, the card just oozes charm.
