When Fluffy Bunnies Attack
– Unhinged common. Some cards have a clear, unambiguous link between their flavor and their mechanics. Others have a more tenuous connection. Then there are cards like When Fluffy Bunnies Attack, where the lack of a connection is turned into a virtue!

Yomiji, Who Bars the Way
– Betrayers of Kamigawa rare. The place that Yomiji is barring the way to is “the afterlife,” or in game terms, “the graveyard”. Yomiji prevents legends from dying, bringing them back to fight another day. Presumably, Yomiji can’t be bothered with saving cannon fodder.

Adventurers’ Guildhouse
– Legends uncommon. One of the more obscure rules changes that came in with Magic 2010 was the alteration to the meaning of “bands with other”. This means that adventurers who hang out at the guildhouse are now slightly more likely to be able to get some use out of it.

Land Aid ‘04
– Unhinged common. The reference is to “Band Aid” (1984) and the series of “Farm Aid” benefit concerts. Whoever that is on stage is probably not an Elvish Impersonator, though, since he’s not wearing one of those cool jumpsuits.

Root-Kin Ally
– Ravnica: City of Guilds uncommon. The only “Ally” from before Zendikar is the mighty Root-Kin Ally from Ravnica. As you can see, it has a fairly direct implementation of the idea that it gets bigger from having a bigger army around it.

|
Balshan Collaborator
– Torment uncommon. Torment was so heavily black-centric that even non-black cards joined in the fun. Balshan Collaborator and Pardic Collaborator stayed blue and red respectively, but got their +1/+1 abilities from aligning with the more powerful color.

Kabira Evangel
– Zendikar rare. An “evangel” is not a kind of angel, which is why Kabira Evangel doesn’t have wings. It’s actually another word for “evangelist”, which is why the character is a cleric who appears to be reading to his allies.
