@littlebeast: well said. a wide variety of quirky styles, from anson maddocks to phil and kaja foglio, made so many of the early cards memorable. unfortunately, as well as having to believe that planewalkers can be summoned for mana, wizards also no longer trusts us to appreciate anything that requires a bit of imagination.

The flavor text writer for the older printings of Trike should get an award for his efforts. What's the definition of versatile? So the flavor text essentially reads: "The brainchild of Tawnos, the Triskelion later proved both to have or be capable of many uses and be useful."
What a versatile use of the English language!

I like discarding +1/+1 counters.

It lives up to the flavor text - it is versatile and packs some punch. Funny if you can do something of interest with the counters (add more, move them around, etc.)

@scumbling1
Versatile means has many uses, however useful does not share that meaning. In this case useful means 'capable of being put to use; especially : serviceable for an end or purpose'. The phrase in the flavour text claims that the treskelion's uses were both many and beneficial, and leaving out either adjective would give the phrase a different de***ive character.

This guy was so cute, I didn't mind losing to him. The person who was dating me at the time, also a Magic junkie, exploited that fact ruthlessly.

I'm not sure which is funnier. The horrendous art, or the fact that there's a typo in the oracle flavor text.
