Hey all,squire1 here. This is an article that was published last year. A user requested that we bring it back since it is approaching the holiday season, so here it is. Hope you enjoy it.

Justarsaus built a deck called It's beginning to look a lot like grixis. Then, in the spirit of holiday cheer and relentless slaughter and necromancy, I wrote this in the comments. Enjoy! And maybe post your own Magic carols below and maybe they'll get published if they're good.


It's beginning to look a lot like Grixis

Unnnnnndead ev'rywhere

A Blightning gets cast to your face

Mr. Bolas blows up your Jace

Through the smells of rotted flesh and burning haaaiiiiir

--

It's beginning to look at lot like Grixis

With Zoooooooombie As-sass-ins!

Thrax makes them sac in attacks

Crumbling Necropolis has your back

And Slave of Bolas just threw Baneslayer in the biiiiiiin

--

If you play a Jund hack and they Blightning right back

You Swerve it back into their dome.

Polymorph has no chance 'gainst your Terminate dance

Now their Emrakul ain't got a home

Controooolll and burn with a late-game turn, plus Unearth for your Life from the Loam

--

It's beginning to look a lot like Grixis

On turn seeeevvvvven they succuuummmb

Double blue, triple black, double red,

And your enemies will be dead

Thanks to Crrrruuuueeeel Ulllltimatuuuuuum!

I have to say this brought joy to my cold, unbeating heart. It kind of hurt, in a creepy way.

To the tune of Joy to the World

Woe to mirrodin, Yawgmoth is come!

Let mirrodin receive her King;

Let every heart burst in flames,

And enemies eat blightning,

And enemies eat blightning,

And enemies, and friends eat blightning.

Woe to the world, Lord Sedris reigns!

Let cruel ultimatums echo;

While swamps, islands and mountains

Repeat the sounding woe,

Repeat the sounding woe,

Repeat, repeat, the sounding woe.

Forever sins and sorrows grow,

Tresserthorns infest the ground;

He comes to make His ichor flow

Far as the curse is found,

Far as the curse is found,

Far as, far as, the curse is found.

Limdul rules the world with lies and hate,

And makes the nations prove

His decree of pain,

And wonders of small pox,

And wonders of small pox,

And wonders, wonders, of Kokusho.

November 21, 2011 5:08 a.m.

Wait... I R Confused.... does this mean he is back but his new favorite color is black? as in he has finally realized the inferiority of blue? Or .... just that he couldn't find a back in blue song?

November 21, 2011 11:08 a.m.

KrazyCaley says... #33

Sadly, AC/DC doesn't know that the song is mistitled.

Evil immortal nicol bolas, Lean your ear this way!

Dont you tell sarrak or tezz, What Im going to say;

The day of doom is coming soon; Now, you dear old dragon,

Tutor what youll bring to me: scry 10 if you can.

When the blood moons at its zenith, While I'm fast asleep,

Down from the sky broad and black, With your horde you'll reap;

All the planes you will find bowing to your whim;

Mine will be the weakest one, well be sure you know.

Ajani wants a pair of helix, Lilly wants a doll;

Jacey wants a story book; one he hasnt read;

As for me, my little spark isnt very bright;

Choose for me, dear bolas sir. What you think is right.

I love the Grixis Season...

Said the Plague Wind to the kithkin

Do you see what I see

Way up in the sky kithkin

Do you see what I see

A star, a star

Kukusho in the night

With a tail as big as a kite

With a tail as big as a kite

Said the kithkin to the Cloistered Youth  Flip  FlipMTG Card: Unholy Fiend

Do you fear what I fear

Ringing through the sky Cloistered Youth  Flip  FlipMTG Card: Unholy Fiend

Do you fear what I fear

A song, a song

A Song of Blood for you and me

With a voice as big as the sea

With a voice as big as the sea

Said the Cloistered Youth  Flip  FlipMTG Card: Unholy Fiend to the mighty king

Do you know what I know

In your palace wall, Darien

Do you know what I know

We gonna die

Unless we tribute Bolas

Let us bring him silver and gold

Let us bring him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere

Listen to what I say

Abandon all hope

Listen to what I say

The Bolas, the Bolas

Lurking in the night

He will bring us Duress and Blightning

He will bring us Duress and Blightning

The Bolas, the Bolas

Lurking in the night

He will Terminate us, Blightning and Perplex
