Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Preview Card!
The Devil Went Down to Innistrad
(To the tune of “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” by Charlie Daniels)
The devil went down to Innistrad
He was lookin' for a soul to beat.
He needed a win to show his kin
And he wasn't afraid to cheat.
When he came across this young man playin’ Magic like a pro,
Devil leaned onto the battlefield and said, “Boy, d’you wanna go?
Well, I guess you didn’t know it, but I’m a Magic player too,
And if you’d care to take a dare, I’ll make a bet with you.”
“You play some pretty good Modern, kid, but give the devil his due
I bet a Power Nine with near-mint shine
That says I’m better than you…”
The boy said, “My name’s Timmy and I’ll say ‘What the heck’
I’ll take that bet you’re gonna regret
Because I LOVE this deck!”
Timmy, shuffle up your deck
And play that mana hard,
’Cause Hell’s broke loose in Innistrad
And the Devil stacks his cards.
And if you win you get this shiny
Near-mint Power Nine,
But if you lose, the Devil has your mind!
The Devil opened up his box
And said, “I’ll start this game…”
His sleeves were gold and I hear told
His mat had Garfield’s name.
He flipped his cards onto the mat
And they made an evil swish.
“I’ll make you need to just concede;
For death, I’ll make you wish.”
When the Devil passed his turn
Timmy said, “That’s not bad for your kind,
But sit back in that folding chair
And let me blow your mind!”
Timmy kept two Blue so he could Counterspell;
Kiki-Jiki/Pestermite to send him back to Hell,
And if that’s not enough, Zealous Conscripts, too.
All of that resolves with just 2 Blue.
The Devil’s jaw was on the floor,
He knew that he was done.
He slid the Power Nine across the table. Timmy’d won.
Timmy said “Devil, just come on back
If you ever want another try.
I beat you once, and it ain’t no lie:
I’m Pro Tour Qualified!”
I said:
