God Book Hoax Cards

Index | Images


In the early days of Magic, judges used a reference guide called God book to settle rules disputes. Among a complete set of Magic rules, this loose-leaf binder contained color copies of every Magic card in existance. Included in one of the printings were two fake cards named Painful Hedgehog and Urza's Lawn Ornament.

Painful Hedgehog has a picture of Sonic the Hedgehog from the Sega game system. This card is a 1/1 green creature with first strike. Urza's Lawn Ornament is an artifact which probably had a picture of the ubiquitous pink flamingo with an ability to tap to destroy a target land for four mana. InQuest #28 revealed information about these cards in their article "101 Magic Facts".
