Deck Description

Quite recently was the day that would be the birthday of my favorite author, Howard Phillips Lovecraft. And so I've been rereading some of my favorite stories, and at the same time I've been tinkering with Modern; I've thus far come up with two that are inspired by both.

"It would useless to describe the playing of Erich Zann on that dreadful night. it was more horrible than anything I had ever overheard, because I could now see the expression of his face, and could realize that this time the motive was stark fear. He was trying to make a noise; to ward something off or drown something out—what, I could not imagine, awesome though I felt it must be. The playing grew fantastic, dehnous, and hysterical, yet kept to the last the qualities of supreme genius which I knew this strange old man possessed...
Louder and louder, wilder and wilder, mounted the shrieking and whining of that desperate viol. The player was dripping with an uncanny perspiration and twisted like a monkey, always looking frantically at the curtained window. In his frenzied strains I could almost see shadowy satyrs and bacchanals dancing and whirling insanely through seething abysses of clouds and smoke and lightning."
- Two selected excerpts from The Music of Erich Zann, by H. P. Lovecraft.

Deck discussion for Erich Zann

I noticed you play a lot of Fume Spitter. I have never been a fan of that guy, what is it that attracts you to it?

I am absolutely in love with Fume Spitter. It's got to be one of my all-time top favorite creatures! It looks like a Lovecraftian version of a Langolier, and it's sooo good in play too.
It eats a lot of utility creatures, it pisses off bigger ones, and it has done me more good than Gatekeeper!

Fume Spitter is love, Fume Spitter is life.
