    I only play Hearthstone, so I brute-forced Runeterra and Mythgard. I am definitely not going to be able to do that with MTG.

    I know, I could probably have gotten a number of them by searching for things in the clues, but I probably would've clicked every card to get the ones I didn't find anyway. I had to do that for two of the Runeterra clues anyway, because I limited the list to collectible cards.

      After a combination of looking at hints in these comments, some googling, and a bit of random clicking, I've now got them all.

    didn't play MTG in my life and yet I am 14/16 (the leaderboard is broken I think) in the clues good thing you can't go for stuff that's too obscure with a database of 54K cards or else I would never find anything...

    anyway stuck on the tentacles one (even google didn't uncover this tentacled card yet)

    and the one that makes you scream or be happy?

    Show Spoiler
    saw a clue about it being a weird sorcery with a holiday name.. but I didn't get it.

    it was fun looking for the clues anyway I don't know is it rude to ask about hints as a none MTG player?

      Don't see why it would be rude to ask hints lol, especially since a lot of people have done that for the MTG hints already. If you still need help with the tentacle one...

      Show Spoiler
      make sure to check out the MTG lore guide as it was recently updated since some idiot forgot to include the big climatic villain of the plane somehow >_>.

      As for the card that makes you scream or be happy...

      Show Spoiler
      If it played a trick on me, I'd be pretty upset but luckily I have creatures in my graveyard so it is a treat instead.

        Alright thanks I found it

        Show Spoiler
        thanks to the hint about the guide, I forgot you posted it, surprised I didn't find it while googling tentacles though…I was sure I already clicked that card while looking but I was wrong

        Show Spoiler
        The scream card I found while looking for horror themed sets, found a list of horror themed cards and it was the first in the list for obvious reasons.

        Well thanks a lot, now to waste those candies on stuff :D

      The leaderboard's results are cached, so if it doesn't update in real-time, that's why =)

      Show Spoiler

      How do you make a plane based around horror even more terrifying? Ask this card to give everything tentacles.
      You're looking for a card from a horror-themed set. Mechanically, no tentacles, but that is certainly some interesting art. 

      A card that will make you scream, or will hand out candy, one or the other.
      There are several types of counters in MTG. One could consider this card an all-day event.

    I was thinking the Silence that can be stolen by Priest during Lich king solo adventure, but I was not able to find anything even clicking through a lOT of content.

    MTG:

    • Playing too much pre-ban standard has left me with persistent nightmares, startling me awake at times.

    I tried a lot around banned cards but nothing…

      Don't worry mate, the Lich King clue is very difficult and took my a couple hours of endless clicking to find the answer.

      Show Spoiler
      This little guy can be considered cute or scary, but the scary part is the deathrattle as you'd be giving your opponent a big body

      As for MTG clues:

      Show Spoiler
      The answer is in the clue! Go do some searching with some words in the actual clue! :D Same applies to the 3rd clue about "Happily Ever After"

        Although, based on the MTG story, the couple from the hint  I can assure you this couple is not living Happily Ever After. actually is living happily ever after.

    For a very brief moment in time, I was at the bottom of the leaderboard - Yay - it was last night ^^ 
    I love those Easter eggs hunt. The difficulty level ranges from pretty obvious to complex puzzles; subtle hints & misleading wordings!
    Amazing event you got us there! Happy Halloween to each and every one of you <3
