Five cost. Inkwell-eligible. Legendary. Javi Salas. Amethyst ink. Storyborn Villain Deity. WHAT D’YA SAY?: when you play this character, you may choose an opposing character; if you do, draw 2 cards unless that character’s player puts that card on the bottom of their deck. He’s on a schedule. He has plans for August. The archive has plans for exact set strings.

Collector number 242/204 (Iconic). Main-set twin 56/204. English retail Whispers in the Well.

Carousel title-case Looking For A Deal; card / Lorcast face is Looking for a Deal.

Version trap

This is not TFC / Fabled Hades – Infernal Schemer. Different version name, different ink (Amethyst vs Sapphire), different ability, different number. Infernal Schemer reprints are still not this card.

  • This specimen: Iconic (242/204) pulled from Whispers in the Well English product (Iconic chase slot). Main-set twin: Legendary (56/204)
