Read MoreWe had a brief but enthusiastic fascination with Magic the Gathering at our house. My son was really into it for a few months, then suddenly lost interest. I never played, but he tried to explain it to me a couple times on the way to the comic book shop where he played, it was a bit baffling. I don’t recall seeing this card, and I don’t know this character, but I certainly dig Eero Okkonen’s building skills and this figure looks amazing.
You enter a darkened space, the musty air is tinged with the coppery smell of blood. You can hear water dripping in the distance, echoing off the mossy, rough hewn stone walls. An unlit torch is on the wall, upon lighting it a low rumble is heard, like the cross between thunder and a large angry beast. Suddenly an enormous form drops from a hole in the ceiling, it's single cycloptic eye surrounded by stalks with many eyes...a Beholder!
Roll for initiative...
