Combo this with Steamflogger Boss by changing "two" to "three" in order to have each of your Riggers assemble three contraptions!

The card reads one higher or lower. 1 can only become 0 or 2.

Aaron's Random Card Comment of the Day #35, 11/12/10

Many cards in the silver-bordered Unhinged set riff off of existing black-bordered Magic cards, but this one is a reference to a prior silver-bordered card from the Unglued set, Look at Me, I'm the DCI.

Whereas “the DCI” is a mysterious, shady front of an organization whose name used to be an abbreviation for something people no longer remember (and is now just a string of letters), “R&D” is a real, concrete body of actual humans, many of whom I have met. And R&D’s initials actually stand for something: Randy & Del.

Randy Buelher, former Director of Magic R&D, and his wife, Del Laugel, current Senior Magic Editor, are the first family of making Magic, so it makes sense that the department is named after them. The blue handwriting on this particular card is, in fact, Randy’s. (The red editorial markings on Frazzled Editor, also in Unhinged... (see all)

I have it on good authority that choosing "1 = 0" is a really, really bad idea.

I will withhold any further commentary for fear of having missed a joke.

That's not a real Moat under it. New white mana symbols and Fifth Edition wide textbox don't work there. Someone laid it out using the Seventh Edition/Time Spiral version of the old frame and then dropped the sticker scan on top of it. Cute, but not quite "Randy gave up a Moat for this" cute.

I remember thinking this card took two mana, because on many older R and D cards the casting cost was listed as Number (total casting cost) and number of mana symbols. So 2WW would be the casting cost of white knight. That was a long time ago and this card is still good, mainly because of its many combo's (Uktabi Kong for infinite apes?)

"1 equals 20 and Shower of Sparks... POW"
-DarkCerberusXX

You'd want to use a shock or bolt, as your shower of sparks would cost 20 too. Just saying. x.X
