Vorpal Blade trivia
I'm reading my Vorpal Blade card. the card gives an extra +10 against anything starting with J, then tells you not to ask why, or what Vorpal means.
so, I looked it up. It is referring to the Lewis Carroll story of the Jabberwocky in the Alice in Wonderland book. It describes a young boy's quest to slay a monster called the Jabberwock: "He took his vorpal sword in hand", and later, One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. So, the starting with J=killing the Jabberwocky. Though, why they just didn't have it as a +10 against the Jabberwock in M2:UA, I'm not sure. That's right folks, I dared to ask ;) |
