![]() ![]() Jokes in this set rang from Magic in-jokes like Look at Me, I'm the DCI, a joke about how seemingly random Magic’s banned list policy was, or Urza's Contact Lenses, poking fun at the fact that there are a lot of cards in the game that depict items that Urza once owned, to downright absurd cards like Charm School that tell you to balance a card on your head. WotC printed these cards with a new silver border to show that they weren’t tournament legal under any circumstances, and this trend continued through all future Un-sets. Future SightĢ007’s Time Spiral block was packed full of weird cards that probably wouldn’t make the cut in any other set. Time Spiral itself featured reprints from the past, and Planar Chaos took popular cards and shifted them into different colors like Serra Sphinx, which is just a blue Serra Angel. Future Sight was tasked with doing the same thing but by looking into the future. This set was a chance for WotC’s designers and developers to throw caution to the wind and just design a huge slew of new mechanics without needing to get them correctly balanced. Or in the case of Steamflogger Boss, without even knowing how the mechanic would end up working. The set is full of brilliantly weird cards, and some that ended up as competitive tournament staples because of how weird they are. We saw 121 “playtest cards” in the 2019’s Mystery Booster: Convention Edition. These are cards printed on the same blank card frame that WotC’s R&D uses when they’re playtesting cards for a new set.Įvery Magic card starts as a playtest card, sleeved up in front of a real Magic card so that it can be tested and tweaked before being released to the public. ![]() Releasing these cards was another way for Magic’s designers to just create a bunch of weird card designs and put them out into the world to see how the public reacts. While they were all unique designs, some of them have in fact become real since the Mystery Booster’s release. WotC has been printing special holiday gift promos since 2016. These are always distributed to local game stores as a gift for their contributions over the previous year. Each one is a top-down design of a traditional holiday trope, like the original Fruitcake Elemental, brilliant puns like Topdeck the Halls or Yule Ooze, and the most recent Last-Minute Chopping. My absolute favorite of these cards is Snow Mercy, a Magic card representation of a snow globe that you actually have to shake to activate its ability. This card was a really fun throwback to a segment of flavor text from Alpha’s Granite Gargoyle. The name was supposedly made to have a name long enough to span the length of a Magic card. The MMPI Test Results are measured by the MMPI-2 ‘scales’, which are the set of classifications of personality traits and psychopathy that the MMPI is designed to measure from a person taking the test. These are essentially the MMPI Test Result categories. The number of scales is continuing growing – but there are 10 primary categories (called the Clinical Scales) that are used in the assessment of the MMPI-2 test. ![]() ![]() The results of the clinical scale have to reflect a true and accurate reflection of the patient taking the test and this is done by an additional 11 ‘Validity Scales’ that check the results and make sure the person doing the test answered honesty and consistently.įollowing is a brief description of the MMPI-2 scale (the MMPI Test Result you will get) this is not a complete assessment of the results and should be taken and used for educational purposes only. The descriptions for each scale include the characteristics typical of high scorers (and in some cases those of moderate, or low scorers). If you want to determine the meaning of low scores you can generally, just use the opposite descriptions provided by the high scores. Why is the MMPI Test Result Score so Important? Not all correlates/descriptors listed here will be applicable on an individual results, but the following will give you a basic idea of what each score means. The interpretation of the MMPI is used as a criteria for acceptance of employment in many government and business organizations. Included in the analyst, is a section of dishonesty so the bottom line is, if you lie on the test you get caught! Lying or attempting to trick the MMPI is extremely hard to do which is why it is used so extensively by employers. ![]()
