You know it for its fantastical monsters, it’s wild combos, it’s complex gameplay and hey let’s face it, pricey entrance barrier. When you think of Magic: The Gathering what doesn’t come to mind is a good old fashioned BJ joke. That’s why it’s shocking to see a card featuring a cleverly hidden little afternoon delight… an Easter egg that only the most dirty minded Planeswalkers noticed for two decades.
Clergy en-Vec is a mono white creature card first printed in the Tempest set in 1997. The story of Tempest took place on Rath, an artificial world crafted by a species which are basically magical Borg. The plane was inhabited by various tribes, including the highly spiritual en-Vec. They were a nomadic culture led by their religious figures like oracles and priests. This guy’s really having the time of his life.

Designing Magic cards is a multi-layered and lengthy process involving teams of game designers and artists who must look ahead to the future of the game and the flavor of the present set. And they really emphasized the flavor on this one. The picture, showing a priest in *cough* religious ecstasy, could be innocent enough, but the flavor text on the card “Faith’s shield is hammered out by the blows of unbelievers” is pretty flagrantly signaling that yeah, this guy is getting his d “tapped for mana”.
