Hallowed!
Hallowed!
Hallowed-Shrine!
[Intro] [The static hum of a CRT television, followed by the crisp "snap" of a card hitting a playmat] They say the game is won in the deck-building... but they’ve never seen a opening hand like this. One more turn, one more life, Cutting through the meta like a jagged knife. Yeah, she’s got the combo, she’s got the light... And I’m just trying to survive the night.
[Verse 1] She’s sitting in the corner with a black-ink stare Silver chains tangled in her midnight hair She’s pulling out a deck, sixty cards of gloom The baddest Planeswalker in the tournament room Hoodie oversized, with the Evangelion print When she looks at her hand, you see the purple glint.
[Pre-Chorus] (Bass guitar chugging) The mana is flowing, the ritual starts She’s casting her shadows and breaking our hearts One turn to the left, and the board begins to shake She’s a shonen protagonist with everything at stake!
[Chorus] Oh! Leather - lace, and Magic: The Gathering Falling for the girl while the deck is shattering! Anime eyes and a graveyard play She’s the main character, clearing the way Life at zero, but I’m feeling fine When she wins the game, that Deck design it’s divine!
[Verse 2] She quotes the subtitles, she knows every line From the cyberpunk city to the spirit shrine She’s a Liliana soul in a world of red Keeping all the dragons under her bed Tapping her Swamps while the soundtrack swells Casting her counters and casting her spells.
[Chorus] Oh! Platform boots and Magic: The Gathering Falling for the girl while the deck is shattering! Anime eyes and a graveyard play She’s the main character, clearing the way Life at zero, but I’m feeling fine When she wins the game, that Deck design it’s divine!
[Bridge] (Half-time beat, dream-like synths) Is it a filler arc? Or the season finale? We’re lost in the stacks, in the shadow-lit alley She’s got the strategy, she’s got the style A rare holographic in every smile. (Drum fill: Crack!)
[Verse 3] The judge is leaning in, the crowd is holding breath I’m staring at a board state that looks like certain death She plays a mythic rare, the foil catches the light A final boss encounter in the middle of the night My library is thin, my mana’s running dry But I see a glimmer of the cosmos in her eye She doesn't need a d20 to know she’s won the round While I’m just lost in silence, a truly holy sound.
[Chorus] Oh! Black Fishnets and Magic: The Gathering Falling for the girl while the deck is shattering! Anime eyes and a graveyard play She’s the main character, clearing the way Life at zero, but I’m feeling fine When she wins the game, that Deck design it’s divine!
[Outro] [Fading with a chiptune melody] Turn order... Draw a card... Stay for the credits. I end my turn.
Shrine!
