Hello!
My name is Henn or iwriterobots on the internet. I make video essays discussing all things robots in Magic: the Gathering from a lore and flavor perspective.

Curious about how MTG classifies its robots? I've got a video about it right here!

Probably, he can project a lot of his own sensations, idk why pain wouldn't be included in that 🤔

Has anybody made Quantum Riddler altered art with the "Does he know?" thumbnail

Henn, known robot kisser @iwriterobots.com · 3h

There's also a smaller subset of these cards that have never been on an *in-universe* card before, which is quite funny to me.
Weird bonus fact: both our game's Elevators are in-universe.

Quantum Riddler {3}{U}{U}

Creature — Sphinx

Flying

When this creature enters, draw a card.

As long as you have one or fewer cards in hand, if you would draw one or more cards, you draw that many cards plus one instead.

Warp {1}{U}
4/6

Illustrated by Izzy

Zookeeper Mechan {1}{R}

Artifact Creature — Robot

{T}: Add {R}.

{6}{R}: Target creature you control gets +4/+0 until end of turn. Activate only as a sorcery.

Infinite Guideline’s “Fauna from Sothera” exhibit proved popular. Unfortunately, the biological zookeepers kept getting eaten.
1/3

Petting Zookeeper {2}{G}

Creature — Elf Employee

Reach

When this creature enters, open an Attraction. (Put the top card of your Attraction deck onto the battlefield.)

Calling it a “petting zoo” really saved on the cages.
0/4

Quantum Misalignment {4}{U}

Sorcery

Create a token that’s a copy of target creature you control, except it isn’t legendary.

Rebound (If you cast this spell from your hand, exile it as it resolves. At the beginning of your next upkeep, you may cast this card from exile without paying its mana cost.)

Edge of Eternities was an interesting set for real words that have never been on Magic cards before due to their very modern nature.
Among them: Vocalist, Torpedo, Nutrient, Relations, Atomic

My personal favorite though: Download
#MTGEOE

Cerebral Download {4}{U}

Instant

Surveil X, where X is the number of artifacts you control. Then draw three cards. (To surveil X, look at the top X cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.)

All Uthros networks are routed through an ancient relic called a memory vessel, which converts data into thought.

Still thinking about Capenna's Humors-Based-HRT

A screenshot of text from the Magic the Gathering story "No Tells" by Isaac Gellman. It reads:
"I don't get it, Yuma," said Elnor. She was cool for a woman with thunder pointed at her; I could smell the power, like the smell of rain coming to the desert. "Weren't we good to you? Didn't we accept you when nobody else did? Didn't we hook you up with the best body-man in the city to change your humors, to make you a fella?"

Reading a book right now wherein a character is (as an insult) called an "axe bitch". She immediately goes "oh thats the coolest thing I've ever been called I love it"

I also uh. Fell asleep at my desk. With the game open. On more than one occasion 😅😅😅

Hollow Knight is a masterpiece. And a lot of the lore/worldbuilding may be unclear if you haven't played it. Silksong is also *harder* so just be warned. But it's still a very good game, and I think you could enjoy them in either order. :)

Henn, known robot kisser @iwriterobots.com · 3d

Silksong 10/10 game I'm actuay crying tears.

The word is actually "bioorganic", which leads me to believe this card is just shortening "bisexual organic carapace"

The Magic card "Biorganic Carapace" from the Spiderman set. A bisexual flag has been superimposed over the art.

Environmental storytelling 😇

A screenshot of messages in the twitch chat. I am replying to a message labeled "message deleted by a moderator". My reply says, "mods can we obliterate this guy?"
