Confused Azorius Control Player Searches Scryfall for "Path to Exile 2"

Roman Milan • February 23, 2025

Richmond, VA - It is currently being reported that local Azorius Control player Richard Brent has spent the last 90 minutes searching Scryfall for "Path to Exile 2" after loosely overhearing a nearby conversation during Friday Night Magic.

"Where is this thing?" said Brent, undeterred by his initial fruitless attempts. "I bet I can slot this thing straight into my Augustin

decks, no problem."

"Maybe it's like Meathook Massacre II

. They decided to do a sequel to one of their best cards of all time. I'll look through Duskmourn again," Brent mumbled to his ferrets, Pendrell & Vale
.

"It'd just be nice to have another option for when someone gets out their commander before I can put shroud on my Drannith Magistrate

. I just need a little extra consistency."

Internal data from Scryfall reports that at 2:37 a.m., Brent's search syntax was so long and complex that it nearly crashed the website. At its peak, it somehow included the terms "utter domination," "tax effect for lands," and "Jin-Gitaxias

but stronger."

"Honestly, our servers could use the stress test," said Scryfall's Head of System Architecture Ben Light. "The rush of traffic we're expecting when the Tifa Lockhart card comes out is going to make the Marvel Secret Lair drop look like the ticket link for your friend's improv show."

At press time, it seems that Richard Brent has minimized Scryfall and gone back to scrolling Google Search results for "With the new bracket system, can I legally make people with the same bracket deck have to play with me?"
