Extra Pulled

Extra Pulled was a recurring feature in The Duelist featuring "rejected" Magic cards allegedly pulled from sets in development.^[1] Starting with issue #21, Mark Rosewater, then Duelist editor, brought these humorous not-actually-cards to readers, featuring art from famous magic illustrators. The expansion symbol was a pair of underwear.^[2] Three other fantasy cards in a similar vein, had already appeared earlier in the magazine.

List

Duelist #	Cardname	Type	P/T	Text	Artist	Notes
9	Throat Wolf	Summon Throat Wolf	4/4	Firstest Strike Throat Wolf may attack during your opponent's untap phase. Attacking does not cause Throat Wolf to tap. The most feared of Dominia's mythical creatures, the Throat Wolf is wylie and unpredictable. Its incredible speed and attack abilities have prompted many net.wizards to wonder if it is real. Ask the Throat Wolf, he'll tell you ...	Dan Stephens II	Presented in a humorous article about the infamous Throat Wolf hoax.^[3]
10	Islands	Land		Tap to add to your mana pool.	Mark Poole	Part of an April Fools' Day article, that stated that this pretended rare card from Arabian Nights wouldn't be affected by the banning of blue mana producing lands. The name is plural.
20	Insecticide	Sorcery		Destroy all insects, spiders, and faeries. "Well, I did believe in faeries."	Corey Macourek	Showcased in an article about rejected Tempest cards.^[4]
21	Time Walk Variant 23	Sorcery		Sacrifice a kidney: Target player takes an extra turn after this one. (If the spell is countered, you still lose the kidney.) If at first you succeed ... try, try again.	Mark Tedin	The goal of this Time Walk variant was to create a card that naturally restricted itself to two uses.
21	Homarid Leper	Summon Homarid	½/3	Bands with other Homarids Snow-covered non-basic landwalk During each upkeep, put either a +1/+0 or +0/+1 counter on Homarid Leper. If there are ever three +1/+0 or three +0/+1 counters on Homarid Leper, remove all counters and bury target creature you control. The Homarid Leper seldom sees the light of play.	Tom Wänerstrand	Created by Charlie Catino, this card skates the line between worthlesness and completely worthless.
22	Green Doesn't Suck Now, Dammit!	Enchantment		Green creatures cannot be destroyed, buried, or removed from play. Ever. For any reason. Not even by Wrath of God. Oh, and draw a card. "There's no way the powers at Wizards will ever let this card be released."— Anonymous Magic R&D member	Phil Foglio	Created for Mirage to disprove the conspiracy theory that green intentionally had been made the weakest color. Somehow never released.
23	Armageddon (For Beginners)	Sorcery		Destroy¹ all² lands³. ¹ Put into its owner's graveyard. This differs from "bury" in that the land, if animated, may still be regenerated. Not that we support the word "bury" anymore. ² This includes your own lands. No, really. There are actual strategic reasons to do this. ³ All cards in play that aren't creatures, enchantments, or artifacts.	Corey Macourek	Armageddon with experimental explanatory text.
24	What Are You, Chicken?	Sorcery		Each player adds all Magic cards in his or her personal collection to the ante. Winner takes all. "In my store, we play for fun. You know what fun is? Winning!" — "Hammer" Regnier	Cy Berspice	Gamblers at heart, the members of R&D started making ante cards a bit too competitive. This was the real reason that ante cards were banned.
25	Big Red	Summon Lord	5/7	All treefolk gain +1/+1 and protection from lumberjacks. Sacrifice target treefolk: Deal 3 damage to target creature and put a Cordwood token into play. Treat this as a 0/1 green wall. Sacrifice Cordwood Token: Add to your mana pool. "Timber!"	DiTerlizzi	A Lord for Treefolk.
26	Squee Triumphant	Instant		Tap target Goblin: Destroy all black legends in play. "With one thrust of the sword, the threat of evil Volrath was no more."	Bader / Venters	Based on an alternate reality of the Weatherlight Saga, with Squee taking on the role of Gerrard Capashen.
27	Kill Me Now, Please	Enchantment		During each opponent's upkeep phase, Kill Me Now, Please deals 2 damage to all opponents. When KMN,P leaves play, all opponents draw two cards. "While some invite disaster, a select few draw it a map."	Lew Sehr	A card designed by Mark Rosewater for multiplayer, but making the caster an immediate target for elimination.
28	Mox Dragon of the Lotus	Summon Legendary Dragon	/	Mox Dragon of the Lotus has power and toughness equal to the closest dollar amount of this card's worth on the secondary market. "What an elusive creature. What I wouldn't pay to have such a beast in my possession." — Urza	Pete Venters	A carefully crafted card with a name that fully compliments the essence of the card. Designed without ulterior motives.
29	Amulet of Ignorance	Artifact		Choose and discard a card with total casting cost seven or more. : Target creature with three or more creature enchantments on it gets +20/+20 and gains flying and shadow until end of turn. Play this ability only if you have a deck with 100 or more cards in it. "It's not always what you know."	Sam Wood	A bad card designed for the Rath Cycle.
30	Disrobing Scepter	Artifact		,: Disrobing Scepter deals 2 damage to target player. That player may prevent this damage by removing one piece of clothing for the remainder of the game. "Remember kids: local laws apply as well as those in the rulebook."	Randy Elliott	Designed for Unglued. Rejected because there were not as many supporters of strip Magic as external fans. Also, there was some fear of this card seeing League play.^[5] Referred to in the secret message on the bottom of the cards in both Unglued and Unhinged.^[6]
31	Wall of Ice Cream	Summon Wall	0/6	Lick Wall of Ice Cream whenever it blocks. Once the card becomes unrecognizable, destroy it. This card cannot be regenerated. "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream" — Children's Rhyme.	Chippy	Direct from Richard Garfield, this card came from an early Alpha playtest list. Richard would only explain that the card was cut for "health reasons". Replaced by Wall of Ice.
32	Orb of Mellowness	Artifact		All players may make jokes, share information about their hand and deck, and take back moves. Orb of Mellowness deals 10 damage to any player who starts a sentence with "But the rules say ...."	Jeff Miracola	Before Unglued, Magic R&D originally attempted to solve the "Magic has become too complicated" complaint by inserting key cards into new expansions. This card was an example of why this plan didn't exactly work.
33	Dojo Effect	Instant		When you play Dojo Effect, remove all copies of all cards you have in play, in hand, in graveyard, in library, in "limbo", in "phasing limbo", in "on top of card in play" limbo, or in any one of the various other 33 limbo zones from the game. Copy target deck. Draw a new hand of as many cards as you had before. In the end, there can be only one.	Quinton Hoover	Magic websites such as The Dojo had a huge effect on the tournament scene. It should be no surprise to know they had a huge impact on card design as well. Here is a card that almost made it into Urza's Saga (it was pulled at the last minute due to a few "rules concerns". The flavor text is a quote from Highlander
34	Target Target	Artifact		Target Target targets target spell that targets target permanent. Target targeted by Target Target cannot be the target of spells or abilities that target permanents. Ertai was shocked to learn that Target didn't sell a single spell.	Ron Spencer	There has been much discussion around R&D as to what language actually appears on Magic cards. The domestic cards, mind you, not the foreign ones. The only answer R&D has yet agreed on is "not English". Note that this is a colored artifact, seven years before the concept would be formally introduced in Dissension, though the effect is more akin to a non-permanent spell.
35	Gratuitous Babe Art	Summon Hubba, Hubba	2/4	All creatures with males pictured in their art box must attack when Gratuitous Babe Art is untapped. All creatures with males pictured in their art box must block when Gratuitous Babe Art attacks. Her enemies always die with a smile on their face.	Rebecca Guay	This was another reject of Unglued. There used to be much discussion in R&D as to the appropriate use of "babe art" in Magic. It was noted that nobody could remember the other art of Elvish Ranger.
36	Double Dag Dare	Sorcery		Select a dare. (One legal in the state where the spell is being cast.) If target player is unwilling to do the dare, you may do the dare yourself and take an extra turn. If no one is willing to do the dare, this spell has no effect.	Daren Bader	At its core, Magic is all about risk management. This card takes you back to the playground where fortune favors the bold. A double dog dare is an intensified form of a dare.
37	Rain of Typos	Sorcery		Change one letter in a text box to any other letter. The new word formed must be a real word. "I'd like to buy a vowel."	Carl Chritchlow	Represent the editors' worst nightmare.
38	Cheat 'Em and Weep	Enchantment		Cumulative upkeep: Name the top card in your deck When Cheat 'Em and Weep comes into play, put your deck in any order you wish. (You only have one minute to do this.) Named cards must be revealed to all players. If any card is named incorrectly, sacrifice Cheat 'Em and Weep and shuffle your deck.	Ron Spears	With this card, one player's cheating is another player's proactive topdecking. The card name is a play on the poker idiom "read 'em and weep".
39	Wrath of God	Enchantment		Bury all creatures, eh? "God was going to be merciful, but then He heard Alanis. Isn't it ironic?"	Don Hazeltine	Wrath of God in a Canadian translation. The flavor text is a reference to the song Ironic by the Canadian singer Alanis Morissette
40	Extra Pulled from the Headlines	Instant		Remove this card from the game and replace it with any copy of an "Extra Pulled" card. (Wizards of the Coast is not liable for any removed kidneys — see the very first "Extra Pulled" in Duelist #21.)" "Ach, Hans, run! It's Extra Pulled!" — Last words, Gig'ghor Jaggherpoof	Galactus	The final card.
