Colossal ancient octahedral stones called "hedrons" float in the sky (hedrons are the expansion symbols for all three blocks).

Cosmic Horror
Lovecraftian horror, sometimes used interchangeably with "cosmic horror", is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock. It is named after American author H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937). His work emphasizes themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries, which are now associated with Lovecraftian horror as a subgenre. The cosmic themes of Lovecraftian horror can also be found in other media, notably horror films, horror games, and comics. Origin American author H. P. Lovecraft refined this style of storytelling into his own mythos that involved a set of supernatural, pre-human, and extraterrestrial elements. His work was influenced by authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Algernon Blackwood, Ambrose Bierce, Arthu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Planeswalker
The Rules of Magic: The Gathering govern the play of the card game '' Magic: The Gathering''. The original rules were developed by the game's creator, Richard Garfield, and accompanied the first version of the game in 1993. The rules of Magic have been changed frequently over the years by the manufacturer, Wizards of the Coast, mostly in minor ways. However, major rules overhauls have also been done a few times. In its most-played form, Magic is a game where two players bring their own set of cards, called a ''deck'', and play each other. Players start by drawing a hand of seven cards and then take turns. In a turn a player can play one mana-producing ''Land'', play various types of spells which require varying amounts and colors of mana, and attack their opponent to try and reduce their life total from the starting 20 to zero, thus winning the game. Overview A standard game of ''Magic'' involves two or more players who are engaged in a battle acting as powerful wizards, know ...
