Thats the funniest creature type ever. Before the Great Creature Type update I guess Mistform Ultimus could be an "Uncle Weird" or an "Istvan."

He may not know what a Wurmcoil Engine is, but he'll hold that sucker off for as long as you need him to.

They totally ripped this guy for Resident Evil 4. "I see you carry the same blood as us."

This is probably Aaron_Forsythe's lowest rated comment.

If only it were a "Summon Legend"
Then it would say "Uncle Istvan counts as an Uncle Istvan"

I have an idea for why he is named like a unique character but is not a legend.
It's because everybody has an Uncle Istvan. It's like having a Cousin Vinny.

"Mah name is UNCLE Istvan... no relation."
~Uncle Istvan
Crazy black dude. Weird connection to white. Old and has a big butt... Aaron McGruder must play Magic! =)
(PS: The Boondocks is what I'm citing for anyone still scratching their heads there)

Aaron, you're right that Uncle Istvan makes zero sense from a modern design or color pie perspective. But please don't discount the joy of oddballs like this guy, provided they can be made to fit the current MTG standards. Let's see more "Uncles", Norritts, Phelddagrifs, etc. pop up from time to time, they're memorable as hell, especially if you have a certain sense of humor. I started playing MTG w/Ice Age & 4th Edition, and "Summon Uncle Istvan" never failed to crack me up. I'd play him in decks even though he sorta sucked as an actual creature. Props for including him on the timeshifted sheet, btw.

Personally, I loved squirrels back during Odyssey block, when they were everywhere. I think they're just fun!

This guy, though. Fun flavor, kinda boring card.

My uncle has a playset of these in a mono-black deck that he guards very jealously. I love this guy. He's got kind of a Storm Crow or Chimney Imp charm to him.

Man, reading that really made me dislike Aaron Forsythe. More than I already did, I mean.

No one cares about Sarkhan the Mad. This ain't Dragon Ball Z.
