Magic the Gathering: Alpha (original set, 1993)
Zack: Donning a skull necklace and a warlock's collar and then failing to cast a spell is like wearing one of those high-tech swimsuits all the Americans had at the 2010 Olympics and then you jump in the pool and start thrashing around and yelling for the lifeguard.
Steve: I miss the warlock's collar.
Zack: Yes, I also miss three weeks in 1922 when Aleister Crowley convinced several minor lords attending a buggery fest in an abandoned nunnery that capes with collars were sure indications of virility.
Steve: Yeah, sure, you scoff now, but all it takes is the right person in Japan playing scream-rockabilly and wearing a warlock collar and before you know it everyone on TV is wearing one.
Zack: Reality TV could use a dose of gothic melodrama.
Steve: And discussions about potions.
Zack: Ron Ron Juice qualifies as a potion.
