Unknown Event/2024 list of event cards
 
 
 

Description

The event cards feature playtest stickers, looking and functioning like the test cards of the Mystery Booster set. Being playtest stickers, the cards have no art, artist credits, or Collector number, and are marked with internal card codes.[1]

A total of 49 new cards were designed for this event by Gavin and the team.[2] Three cards were designed at the You Make the Card panel on the Friday before the first event.

Choose two colors. Add a mana of each of the chosen colors.
At the beginning of your next upkeep, pay one mana of each of the chosen colors. If you don't, you lose the game.

A play on The Guildpact (spell) and the Pact cycle of spells from Future Sight.
The Asker of More Mana RW35 {3}{W}

Legendary Creature — Human Soldier
Any time a player would pay a mana cost for anything, it costs {1} more mana to activate. (This includes casting spells, activating abilities, turning face-down creatures face up, paying for Ghostly Prison, the weird ability on Quenchable Fire, etc.)
LENGTH

Represents TBA. The ability is a reference to the Stax or Prison deck archetype that seek to disrupt opponents by forcing them to pay additional mana, or denying them enough mana, to play their spells.
The Curve Keeper RW47 {4}{W}{W}

Legendary Creature — Human Soldier
Creatures you control get +X/+0, where X is the greatest number of consecutive nonland, nontoken permanents in a mana curve you control. (For example, if you have permanents with mana value 3, 4, and 5, creatures you control get +3/+0. If you're missing 4, they only get +1/+0.)
THE
3/3

Represents Chase Caroll, ManaCurves.[3] Rewards players who "curve out".[4]
Identify the Culprit UW02 {W}

Sorcery
Secretly chose a creature target opponent controls. Then, that player guesses which creature it is. Reveal the chosen creature. If they guessed incorrectly, exile the creature you chose. Otherwise, return Identify the Culprit to its owner's hand and you can't cast it again this turn.

Originally designed by Alexander Smith.
Illuminating Detective CW01 {1}{W}

When Illuminating Detective enters the battlefield, each of your opponents reveal all of their commanders. If their commanders were already revealed, put a flying counter on this creature.

DIFFERENCE
1/6

Represents streamer Voxy, who has a long-running joke on her channel about crabs.[8][4] The card's name and ability are a refernce to Voxy's appearance on episode 31 of Tolarian Community College's Shuffle Up & Play series, where she played a {U} Charix, the Raging Isle Commander deck against The Professor, Amy the Amazonian and Lexi.
Disguise Agent RU02 {1}{U}

Creature — Vedalken Detective
Commanders you own have disguise. Their disguise cost is equal to their mana cost.

The event's face down commander rule allows the Murders at Karlov Manor mechanic to have relevance for commanders. It also provides player's a way to cast commanders without paying the commander tax.
Educated Detective CU04 {3}{U}

Creature — Weird Detective
{1}{U}, {T}: Surveil 1. If all your commanders have been revealed, draw a card instead.
2/4

Part of the Detective cycle.

Sorcery
Investigate X times, then create an 0/0 Blue Elemental creature token. Put +1/+1 counters on that token equal to the number of Clues you control.

Whenever you cast a spell with ten or more words of flavor text, draw a card unless an opponent pays {1}.
DISCARDED
2/3

Represents Sam Gaglio, Rhystic Studies.[10][4] The card's first ability is a reference to the Rhystic Studies video Dear Gonti, Love Sophie | The Story of a Priceless Commander Deck, where Sam discusses the intersection of a Magic card's price and it's intangible value as an object of memories and experiences. The second ability uses the Rhystic mechanic, after the channel's namesake — Rhystic Study.
The Value Knight RU07 {3}{U}

Legendary Creature — Human Knight
When The Value Knight enters the battlefield, create Syr Acha, a 1/1 legendary red artifact creature Food Knight token with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life. Until end of turn, if you would draw a card, draw two cards instead."

Bloodspatter Vampire UB01 {1}{B}

Creature — Vampire
Flying
If an opponent would create a Clue, they create a Blood instead. (It's an artifact with {1}, {T}, Discard a card, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.)
2/1

The card transforms Clue tokens into Blood tokens as a nod to both Vampires in ficition and to Murders at Karlov Manor crime fiction theme. The card is also a minor reference to Blood Spatter Analysis from the main set.
Demon Detective CB02 {1}{B}

Creature - Demon Detective
You can't cast Demon Detective unless all of your commanders have been revealed.
Flying
4/4

Part of the Detective cycle.[12]
The Disciple of Vess RB54 {2}{B}{B}

Legendary Creature — Human Cleric
Whenever The Disciple of Vess attacks, you may put a planeswalker card from your hand onto the battlefield. If you don't create a token that's a copy of a Liliana planeswalker chosen at random. (There are currently thirteen. Perhaps look up the list and roll a D20?)
PERSON
2/2

Represents Taalia Vess.[4] The card, like her handle, is a combination of Kaalia of the Vast and Liliana Vess.
Halving Season UB {4}{B}

Enchantment
If an opponent would create one or more tokens, they create half that many of each of those kinds of tokens instead, rounded down.
If an opponent would put one or more counters on a permanent or player, they put half that many of each of those kinds of counters on that permanent or player instead, rounded down.

An inverse version of the card Doubling Season.[12]
Impressive Rat UB03 {2}{B}

Creature — Rat
When Impressive Rat dies, put a hole counter on target land you don't control. Whenever that land becomes tapped, you investigate. (The land continues to intrigue.)
3/2

The card is a reference to the Chicago rat hole, while the reminder text is a reference to the widely popular "The land continues to burn..." reminder text on Obsidian Fireheart.[13]
The Keeper of Dark Pacts RB05 {4}{B}

Legendary Creature — Human Wizard
At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 1 life and draw a card. Then, double the amount of life you lose and cards you draw for the rest of the game from this ability. (This is true even if this leaves the battlefield and returns.)
WITH
4/4

Represents cosplay artist Evan Braun, Dark Pact Cosplay.[14][7]
Life at Stake CB11 {B}

Instant
You and target creature's controller each secretly choose a number 0 or greater. Then, reveal the chosen numbers. If your number was highest or tied for the highest, exile that creature. Each player who chose the highest number loses that much life.

The card name is a pun based on the card's mechanics; either a player loses life or a creature loses its life. Gavin believes, in retrospect, the card needed to provide players with some additional value to make it worth the slot in a sealed deck.
Aggressive Detective CR03 {3}{R}

Creature — Minotaur Detective
Whenever Aggressive Detective attacks, if all your commanders have been revealed, Aggressive Detective deals 2 damage to each opponent.
4/4

Part of the Detective cycle.

The Crimson Avenger RR10 {3}{R}{R}

Legendary Creature — Human Wizard
Flash
When The Crimson Avenger enters the battlefield, choose target spell an opponent controls. Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a card that shares a mana value with it. Cast that card without paying its mana cost. Then shuffle your library.
HAS
3/2

Represents Crim Nguyen, The Asian Avenger.[15][4] Also forms a likely unintentional reference to the DC Comics character Crimson Avenger.
Guess Who it Is! UR04 {4}{R}

Sorcery
Look at the top ten cards of target opponent's library and choose a creature card from among them. That opponent asks you five yes or no questions about that creature. (Answer truthfully!) Then that player chooses a card name. Reveal the card. If it doesn't have that name, put it onto the battlefield under your control. Then shuffle each card not put onto the battlefield this way into it's owner's library.

Initiates a short game of Twenty Questions as a variation on threaten effects.[16]
The Knight of Land Drops RR08 {1}{R}

Legendary Creature — Human Knight
Partner with Knight (You may select any legendary Knight to be this creature's partner. It doesn't have to have Partner. You don't search for a Knight when this enters the battlefield.)
Knights you control have haste and "At the beginning of your end step, if you didn't play a land this turn, you may discard a card, then draw a card."

Legendary Creature — Bear Pilot
When The Bear Force Pilot enters the battlefield, create a colorless artifact Vehicle token with flying, "This creature gets +1/+1 for each Bear you control," and Crew 2.
WHO
2/2

Represents Graham Stark of LoadingReadyRun.[4]

As printed, The Bear Force Pilot's ability does not define the Vehicle token's base Power/Toughness, leaving it with none. Gavin's video notes it should be a 0/0 token and that he nicknamed the token "Bear Force One".

Investi-Gate CG03 {3}{G}

Sorcery
Name two Ravnica Guilds. Create two copies that are copies of their gates. (Ravnica guildgates are lands that enter the battlefield tapped and tap for the two colors of the guild.)

A pun using the Murders at Karlov Manor investigate mechanic and the Guildgates of Guilds of Ravnica block. The card also helps find missing mana colors for limited play.
Growing Detective CG03 {2}{G}

3/3

Part of the Detective cycle.
