It's the ooze that keeps on receiving if i may say so, now your probably wondering how you get this well there's Ebay, but prices for these holiday promos are a little steep at around 50 bucks these days, there's being a member of wizards's of the coast's staff which is perhaps the easiest way to get this and of course there's being a business partner to wizards of the coast as well, i am neither so i won't be getting my hands on this promo anytime soon and Ebay forget it, as per tradition this card basically represents one of the things of the holiday season, this edition we see a ooze eating up a christmas feast which was supposed to be only Jello, kinda funny if you ask me, with each year since 2006 we've seen different holiday cards let's go back a bit and start with the history of these holiday cards.
2006 came around and it was basically the first year of this big holiday card theme, the first of which was a fruitcake themed card named Fruitcake Elemental
This particular card was created in the one of the traditions of the holidays which was fruitcakes which are not that great honestly, this one kinda depicted a fruitcake going rogue and merging with a elemental to turn into the giant hulking mass seen before you, 2007 was a really funny take on a Kamigawa card called Gifts Given which took the alternate persona of Gifts Ungiven
When this card was thought up i kinda laughed a little and found it quite nice, since Gifts Ungiven was one of my favorite Kamigawa block cards, besides the obvious Umezawa's Jitte and Sensei's Divining Top it was nice to see this put into the holiday theme and given a new persona basically when it comes to alternate holiday cards, 2008 however saw a card no one expected in the form of Evil Presents which was literally depicting presents coming to life and attacking, such is the way with black cards.
Not a decent choice of card, but funny all the same, 2009 gave us a funny little take on a family tradition, with the usual season's greetings, instead we got Season's Beatings this was probably the most humored card of the current holiday tradition, depiciting a goblin standing outside a home with a bag in hand, wondering if he was allowed in, a very nice and funny take on a old tradition.
This was itself perhaps the best current holiday card, 2010 however took a whole new turn, with a new decade came another tradition in the form of Snow Mercy
This was a snow globe that gave us no mercy espically with the wording "Shake Gently, Contents may cause choking, hypothermia, and/or planar invasion" which kinda seemed dumb at first but it was all that worth it, but that's pretty much the most recent holiday cards printed so far, what awaits in the next holiday card who knows, but with a friendly greeting the emporium wishes you a safe and happy holidays in advance, this is vergil signing off, have a good one.
