Hosting the Weekly Nerdradio podcast, one of the first things I did was reach out to folks from all the different departments here at the WRIF looking for nerds of all types. Everyone is heavily into something and I wanted Nerdradio to reflect that love for comics, games and cartoons.
One of our frequent contributors on the show is GK (Ginger Kyle), an avid player of Overwatch, League of Legends and Magic the Gathering. With a new set just released, Throne of Eldraine, this seemed like a perfect opportunity to hear about some of the standout cards currently in Standard play. So give us the head’s up, GK!

My Pick is the legendary creature Rankle, Master of Pranks. He’s a black aligned Faerie Rogue who causes all sorts of mayhem and mischief when he deals damage to my opponents. When he deals damage I can cause each player, including myself to..
- Discard a card
- Lose 1 life and draw a card
- Sacrifice a creature
Rankle is best in a midrange deck (a deck that plays the long game and has answers and powerful effects against your opponent)He also reminds me of myself! Silly, short, and can cause mayhem and shenanigans.
Until next time friends, I’m GK and don’t stop shuffling!
