NOTES: For Links to these notes come to Browse every card ever made - Patrick made me a green forest deck (dork forest, get it?) which has green mana (mana is the “money” or “energy” that allows you to play any other card). He is playing a Red deck (so he would need red mana to play his spells). Japanese Pork Kenti? I will NOT be googling it. You do it. (green/instant) (destroy target artifact by spending as much mana as it cost for him to “cast that spell” and then you GAIN that much in player life) Books Credits: Audio leveling by Music is by Website design by : who has his own Apps are available with the bonus contest: or My websites are and Review the show on Feel free to e me. has a button if this link doesn't work.
