Please help - looking for a specific card with a name I can't remember.
Online Magic forum
Posted on Aug. 12, 2016, 8 a.m. by Yesterday
Hi, I've been looking on the forums for a more appropriate place to put this thread but haven't had much luck. I'll put it here because the card in question is one I've only encountered in digital format.
I encountered the card either in Magic 2014 Duels of the Planeswalkers (vanilla) or in Magic: Origins's story mode (Shadows Over Innistrad patch).
Though I'm not 100%, I think it went something like ...
- Squid or something -
- (Artefact?) Creature - Squid
: Shuffle Squid or something and target creature into their owner's libraries.- 2/1
I've been trying to find it in search engines with no success for a frustratingly long time now. I can't imagine it only exists in these games and isn't a real card, or that I dreamt it up. No... no, I may be wrong but I doubt it.
Can anybody help? Thanks in advance.
And here I was hoping you'd find it after just long enough to make it feel like a hunt worthy of your expertise, rather than after an embarrassingly short time.
Yeah, that's exactly the card I was trying to find. It's also not as good as I remembered.
Oh well. Thanks for the help!

lol, sure. I wasn't sure which of the criteria you were positive about up there, so I just did a Gatherer search for a 3 cost blue creature and the keyword "shuffle".
I was thinking I'd either hit nothing or a ton of things, but Gomazoa was the second result and it being a jellyfish from a commander set pretty much sealed it :)
I do love playing this game, it happens to myself all the time. Hit me up if you ever need help again.

I think I was looking up "shuffle into owner's libraries" and derivatives of that, and it was giving me creatures, just not the one I looking for. I knew it was going to be something silly like that, oh well.
Also, wait, hang on, actually I was thinking of Void Stalker. But I only managed to find by looking up "Cards like Gomazoa". So, yay, team effort!

I was thinking I remember a card like that, but when I returned here you already found your card. Vortex Elemental does a similar thing if you were wondering though.

See there's your 2/1 and it looks like a squid :)
Neat creature, I like it. That's got the gears spinning for a weird Jellyfish creature disruption deck. Probably just for casual but would be interesting.
Vortex Elemental is interesting as well, and that strange creature disruption idea is swirling around pretty good now. I like it.

In my playgroup, people tend to focus more on utility creatures than big scary monsters with trample, so you can bet your bottom dollar that Gomazoa would spend multiple turns sitting there doing and disrupting nothing, then die to removal. And while I think Vortex Elemental might be a better removal for big threats in the late game, Void Stalker's probably a better fit for low-cost midrange utility and shuffling decks at instant speed, which is sort of an important part of the theme I'm going for.
If you're interested, it's for this deck here: Topdeck of the century..
Anyway, thanks again, you two!

Well my deep sea fishing expedition has come to an end. Here's what I came up with, seems like it could be fun to play. At like 2 TIX I think MTGO is the best place to play around with it :)
Peanut Butter and Jellyfish
