The Duelist Fantasy Cards

Index | Other 1996-1997 | Extra Pulled 1998-1999


Starting with issue #21, The Duelist magazine featured a monthly column named "Extra Pulled" in which humorous fantasy Magic cards were displayed.
They were created by Mark Rosewater, and the artwork was drawn mostly by famous Magic artists.
They are all sized correctly and can be cut out to play with them once you glue them onto a MTG card.

Three other fantasy cards appeared in The Duelist:

The Throat Wolf illustrated by Dan Stephans II was presented in a humorous article on page 128 of The Duelist #9 from February 1996,
about the infamous Throat Wolf hoax which claimed the existence of an ultra-rare card named Throat Wolf with a mysterious ability called firstest strike.
A playtest card named Throat Wolf was also created for the Mirage set and was later printed in Visions as Talruum Champion.

The Islands card illustrated by Mark Poole was part of an April Fools' Day article on page 12 and 13 of The Duelist #10 magazine from May 1996.

The Insectiside illustrated by Corey Macourek was showcased in an article about rejected Tempest cards on page 20 of The Duelist #20 magazine from December 1997.


The Duelist was discontinued in September 1999 with issue #41. The Duelist magazine was replaced with Topdeck.


ARTICLES


The Duelist #9 (February 1996).


The Duelist #9 original cover art by Randy Gallegos (February 1996).Throat Wolf article by Mike Selinker on page 128 in The Duelist #9 from February 1996.
The article detailed the exploits of a reporter tasked to track down the elusive Wolf. He was not successful.


Mirage Throat Wolf playtest card and Visions Talruum Champion
Heart Wolf, Homelands rare. In the earliest days of Magic, there was a running joke on Usenet of a super rare card named Throat Wolf.
What the card did always seemed to change. The only constant was that it always had Firstest Strike.
For many years R&D always named one card Throat Wolf in design out of a nod to that joke, and even printed Heart Wolf as a wink to the running gag.
