BB · Sorcery
Players play a Magic subgame under the table, starting at 5 life and using their libraries as their decks. The winner searches their library for two cards, puts those cards into their hand, then shuffles.
| Name | Mana | Type | Text |
|---|---|---|---|
| Murmurs from Beyond | 2U | Instant — Arcane | Reveal the top three cards of your library. An opponent chooses one of them. Put that card into your graveyard and the rest into your hand. |
| Lost Legacy | 1BB | Sorcery | Choose a nonartifact, nonland card name. Search target player's graveyard, hand, and library for any number of cards with that name and exile them. That player shuffles, then draws a card for each card exiled from their hand this way. |
| Timesifter | 5 | Artifact | At the beginning of each upkeep, each player exiles the top card of their library. The player who exiled the card with the highest mana value takes an extra turn after this one. If two or more players' cards are tied for highest, the tied players repeat this process until the tie is broken. |
| Polymorph | 3U | Sorcery | Destroy target creature. It can't be regenerated. Its controller reveals cards from the top of their library until they reveal a creature card. The player puts that card onto the battlefield, then shuffles all other cards revealed this way into their library. |
| Gollum, Scheming Guide | 1B | Legendary Creature — Halfling Horror | Whenever Gollum, Scheming Guide attacks, look at the top two cards of your library, put them back in any order, then choose land or nonland. An opponent guesses whether the top card of your library is the chosen kind. Reveal that card. If they guessed right, remove Gollum from combat. Otherwise, you draw a card and Gollum can't be blocked this turn. 2/1 |
| Invincible Hymn | 6WW | Sorcery | Count the number of cards in your library. Your life total becomes that number. |
| "Ach! Hans, Run!" | 2RRGG | Enchantment | At the beginning of your upkeep, you may say "Ach! Hans, run! It's the . . ." and the name of a creature card. If you do, search your library for a card with that name, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle. That creature gains haste. Exile it at the beginning of the next end step. |
| Peer into the Abyss | 4BBB | Sorcery | Target player draws cards equal to half the number of cards in their library and loses half their life. Round up each time. |
| Work a Double | 2RR | Sorcery | Assemble two Contraptions. (Put the top card of your Contraption deck face up onto one of your sprockets. Then repeat this process.) |
