Okiku's Dish Count

Okiku's Dish Count was introduced as part of the Doom of Dimensions expansion, drawing heavily upon the Japanese folklore of Banchō Sarayashiki. In this legend, a servant named Okiku is killed after breaking a precious dish, and her vengeful spirit returns to haunt the household, repeatedly counting the plates in a futile effort to find the missing one. The card translates this haunting narrative into a mechanics-based trap, utilizing the iterative counting theme to disrupt opponent field setups.

The visual direction for this card was managed by the design team to reflect the gothic aesthetic consistent with the Doom of Dimensions set. The illustration focuses on the spectral, fragmented imagery of the broken dish, aiming to evoke a sense of unease and inevitable penalty for the opponent. Upon its release, it was categorized as a common rarity, intended primarily as a budget-friendly utility card for players looking to integrate graveyard-manipulation tactics into their decks.
