Alright, so here’s the deal—Magic: The Gathering is pulling in Team Avatar, like, yanking them right into the card game universe. And yeah, that means the Cabbage Merchant from Avatar: The Last Airbender gets his own card. Remember him? The guy always freaking out about his cabbages being wrecked by Aang and Appa? His epic line: “My cabbages!!!” just, it sticks with you, doesn’t it?
Anyway, so this card popped up during a Magic livestream. It’s from the Jumpstart set, which is, you know, mostly for folks trying to get into the game. But don’t brush it off—it’s got some quirky abilities that even seasoned players might want to dig into for their decks. By the way, Jumpstart cards mix it up in Commander format but take a backseat in the controlled chaos of Standard.
Oh, and there’s this image floating around—lemme see if I can describe it. Imagine… a Wizard of the Coast kind of scene with Aang, Katara, and our Cabbage Dealer. Visual feast, trust me.
So, get this—the set might not stop at just one version of our beloved Merchant. During the livestream, they hinted at having more of him or at least other artistic spins. One host was all, “You might see more Cabbage Merchant moments,” which is intriguing. And hey, apparently he’s not always grinning in those.
Let’s see where this goes. Who knew a dude obsessed with veggies could be this iconic in a card game?
