Name? Lol, thats an awesome puzzle, if I get time I'll look at it but I already have spare keys so no point for me.

Also for some reason hand 4 and 5 aren't displyed properly, says:

Hand 4
Hand 5
then the tables for both of them.

well that's random. Ok, so uhm, I know literally nothing about magic, except that it involves cards with sometimes-pretty artwork. It would be impolite to ask if more knowledge than that is required. But fFrankly, I'm wondering if it's worth me even considering the puzzle. Like I've got a couple basic ideas, but without any idea what the cards look like or do, I have no way to go fForward.

I don't think there's any Magic knowledge required... since the cards are (presumably) made up, and we only have their names, I'd guess there's something encoded into them...

King of Wrong, I'm sorry to alleritate, but I think you're wrong, these cards all all (at least the 20 or so i checked) real ones, but damn if I'm at a loss as to how the rules of the game works.

I don't want to gazump Lexy's comp, but there will be spares available. At the wrap party people got two in each goody bag, plus there'll be one with each Firebox order so pretty soon we'll be awash with them (probably before Stories kicks off in April) so if your desperate for one it shoudn't be too much bother. Keep your eyes peeled. Wink

[edit] As I should, another competition on the perplexcitystories site:

Okay, fine. I'll throw in my first spare Season 2 silver to the first person to get it. Razz

As for the questions:
1) Absolutely zero knowledge of Magic is required. I've never actually played it myself, and I looked up the basic rules only so I could entirely tear them down.
2) Every last card is a real, actual card.

If I had to give a hint, I'd say to look up the cards for the first two hands, especially those that are played, and figure out the rules. I actually thought the points system would be easier to figure out than the game rules, if you use the correct source for your info on the cards. I'm curious as to what KingOfWrong reckons the rules are now Smile
