Lore

Why it matters

As a rare artifact, Giant Fan occupies a unique place in the game by allowing players to manipulate the number of counters on their permanents. Its inclusion in this specific set signals its role as a playful, unconventional tool that rewards those who enjoy experimenting with the board state.

What it does

2 generic mana, tap: Move a counter from one permanent onto another. If the second permanent refers to any kind of counter, the moved counter becomes one of those counters. Otherwise, it becomes a +1/+1 counter.

Only a villain would unleash a giant fan on anyone!

Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 1998 as part of the Unglued set, Giant Fan was designed as a parody card for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The set was the first intentional foray into 'silver-bordered' cards, which were created specifically for casual play and humor, intentionally breaking standard game rules and mechanics to offer a tongue-in-cheek experience for the community.

The card was illustrated by Randy Gallegos, who utilized a whimsical, cartoonish style to depict the literal interpretation of a fan. The design concept plays on the dual meaning of the word, depicting a giant cooling device in a fantasy setting. Upon its release, it was received as a lighthearted commentary on the nature of fandom and the absurdity of hyper-literal card effects in competitive gaming.
