Cavotta Terms
A recurring topic in Cavotta's "Taste the Magic" column was "Okra, Twinkie, Tofu". [4] He talked about card names and whether the words used can be found in a dictionary or if they are just made up.
- Okra are "words that are actually real but may seem fake." These are frequently obscure mythological, literary, or historical references.
- Twinkies are words that are "completely fake and not of this world" and were made up by Magic R&D.
- Tofu are words that are "made up of real stuff but seems bizarre and alien", usually by combining word roots.
