Carving Out Their Own Niche Long before Magic ever saw the light of day, such masters as J.R.R. Tolkein, Gary Gygax and Walt Disney defined many of the basic principles of what exactly it means to be a dwarf. Like digging underground?

Good at building armor? The interesting question (for a column on Magic at least) is what has Magic: the Gathering added to the mythos of dwarves.

Here are some of the juicy tidbits. • Dwarves (along with monkeys) have an unnatural hatred for non-basic land. • Dwarves really enjoy blowing stuff up. • Dwarves have some anger issues. • The Mohawk is a viable dwarf haircut. • Dwarves are willing to say the word 'butt'. • Dwarves have some odd hold over barbarians and minions.

• Dwarves have ponies. • Dwarves will make armor out of children's toys. • Dwarves apparently like rutabagas. • Dwarven warriors and nomads tend to perform the same functions. • Dwarves perfected the 'blaze of glory' (whatever that means). • The dwarves have vigilantes, bomb squads, strike forces, thaumaturgists and sea clans. • Let's just say the dwarven men need not have any fear that anyone's moving in on their women.

• They can kick the Goblins of the Flarg's butts (remember, dwarves can say 'butt'). What is Paka's Deal? The following is my description of 's flavor text from my column ' (from way back in March 18, 2002). I've added in some commentary (jn blue). A quick reminder: here's the card.

I have a silly side. (Shocking, I know.) While Unglued had a chance to let this side of me shine, there are only a few places in tournament Magic where I've let down my proverbial hair. This is actually a blantant lie.,.

'I want a banana this big!' Every squirrel in Magic.

I let down my hair all the time. Norse and Tolkien mythology established dwarves as miners. They like to burrow through the ground. Then it dawned on me that gophers also burrow through the ground. Wouldn't it be funny if I treated dwarves like they were gophers?

Gophers, by the way, are just naturally funny. Not real gophers mind you. The idea of gophers. I had a gopher invade my lawn once and it was annoying. But the concept of a gopher is comedy gold. (See the movie Caddyshack if you need further proof.) The key to making dwarves funny (and by that I mean funnier, they already start kind of funny) was to hitch their wagon onto the comedy that is gophers.

From time to time writers grow irrationally attracted to something they've written. I don't know why, but this piece cracked me up. So much so that I got it into the set by sheer willpower. You see, in comedy, there is a little chart about how much of something is funny.

It goes something like this: A little bit is funny. A bit more isn't funny. A lot more gets funny again. This is true. See my column ' for more on this. Come on, it's Dwarf Week, how can I not reference my column from Goblin Week?

(See, little red guys are funny.) My plan was simple: I was going to hammer the flavor text team with this joke until it reached the third stage. So I referenced the joke every chance I got. After a few weeks of the team wanting to kill me, the joke finally got funny again. This same technique also works with designing cards. A few notes about this quote. I chose the name Paka because it sounded like a peasant name and it had the right beat to it.

I used the term pestridder because it was the best made-up fantasy way I could come up with to say exterminator. And I chose rutabaga because it's a funny vegetable. I forgot to mention what is probably the funniest word in the whole flavor text: again. This is what takes the card from being just funny to being, in my mind, a classic. The beauty of this line isn't that it's out of the ordinary but rather in this world it happens all the time.

Quick aside -- back in my stand-up days, we played a game called 'Not Funny, Funny, Very Funny.' The way it worked was that one person would name a topic, such as vegetables, and another person would have to name three items. The first would have to be not funny.

The second had to be funny, but not too funny. And the third had to be very funny. So for vegetables, the game would go like this: Vegetables! Not Funny -- Corn Funny -- Eggplant Very Funny -- Rutabaga Let's try one more topic: Animals! Not funny -- Bird Funny -- Cow Very Funny -- Platypus Feel free to play with your friends. I could have taken this section out as it doesn't have much to do with the flavor text, but when I reread it I decided it was cool enough to stay.

Join me for Pyromania Week when I talk about the flavor text for. The Dwarven Berserker Speaks Out About Dwarven Image 'Ever notice that you never see a happy dwarf in Magic?

Or a sad one? Or even one that shows any emotion whatsoever? Except,of course, anger. 'Cause The Man knows that every dwarf is just a pissed off little dude. We're all small uncontainable bursts of anger. Ooh, watch out.

Don't piss us off. We'll threaten to beat you up. Or blow something up. Or hit you with some object made of fire. That is if we're not busy digging a hole or building armor. Of course, even those two tasks we still seem to do angrily.

Heaven forbid The Man ever show anything about the dwarves other than the little niche he's carved out for us. The world would collapse if we weren't your little spitfire comic relief puppets. It makes me angry. And I know The Man's loving that.' A Little Game Of the thirty-two dwarves in Magic, twenty-one of them have their name begin with Dwarven.

This little quiz is to see if you can remember which is which. Most of R&D was pretty good at Hive Mind but there was one glaring exception. His name was Joe Grace. While he didn't work much on Magic he is the person pictured on Unglued's (Joe was the Timmiest member of R&D at the time).

For some reason Joe was bad at Hive Mind. No, bad is incorrect.

He was abysmal. For some reason he just didn't have the gene that allowed him to group think. Yet, Joe constantly played the game because he wanted to show that he could pick up the skill.

But the more he played, the more everyone realized it was hopeless. Which leads us to the last game of Hive Mind I remember playing with Joe.

The topic was Name Three Famous Dwarves (see, I told you this was on topic). Everyone wrote down their answers. Joe was smiling. Finally, he was convinced that he found the topic that was going to turn everything around for him. This topic, he had it. This was the game where he wasn't going to stand out. This time he was going to just be one of the crowd.

Joe was so excited that he asked if he could read his answers first. Once again, the topic was Name Three Dwarves. And the goal was to match the answers of all the other players.

Joe pulled out his list. He even cracked his knuckles in a show of bravado. 'Okay,' he started, 'Who's got Gimli?' (As a quick postscript – the correct answers turned out to be: Dopey, Grumpy, Doc in that order.) The Dwarven Berserker Speaks Out About Dwarves and Land Destruction 'You ever wonder why us dwarves are so crazy about blowing up land? It isn't our choice. We were instructed to blow up land.

You know why? 'Cause The Man don't want us showing our faces in no tournament hall. You see, R&D goes on and on about how they have to make land destruction suck because no one likes to have their land blown up. So who better to put on the sucky cards than the little people? And you ever notice how every once in a while when they do make a good land destruction spell they conveniently never make it a dwarf? We can if we wanted to.

But no, The Man has to keep us down. He has to show us our place? On ten cent cards it seems.' Ask a Dwarf Have you ever dated someone taller than you? Dwarven Recruiter: Yes Mine Layer: Yes.

Dwarven Grunt: Yes. Dwarven Trader: I don't exactly have a choice. Dwarven Scorcher: Yes. Dwarven Miner: Yes. Dwarven Berserker: I don't date anyone taller than me. Dwarven Armorer: Yes.

Dwarven Sea Clan: Aye. Liberated Dwarf: Of course, Pardic Swordsmith: Yes. Dwarven Lieutenant: Yes.

Dwarven Demolition Team: Yes. You see, we asked for 'three dwarves sneaking through enemy territory' and we got this art. Upon seeing this I went to talk to the art director, then a woman name Sue Ann: Me: Hey Sue Ann, have you seen the art for Dwarven Scouts?

Sue Ann: Yeah. Me: Not exactly. I have a small problem with it. Sue Ann: What? Dr Slump Vostfr Rapidshare Free on this page. Me: I actually brought the art with me so we could look at it. Sue Ann: I like what Geof did with the colors. Me: My issue isn't with the art quality.

Sue Ann: Okay. Then what's the problem? Me: This card is called Dwarven Scouts. Sue Ann: And? Me: Look at the picture. It's called Dwarven Scouts.

Sue Ann: You don't think they look like scouts. Me: No, I don't think they look like dwarves! Sue Ann: Sure they do. Me: No, no they don't.

Sue Ann: Those could be dwarves. You have to give the artist some latitude for his own spin on things. Me: This isn't some made-up creature.

Dwarves have a distinctive look. Sue Ann: I think you're being a little too narrow in what you're willing to accept. Me: Dwarves actually look like something. They have certain proportions. And they have beards. These creatures have no beards.

Sue Ann: Dwarves don't have to have beards. Me: They do in Magic or basically any pop culture reference in the last century.

Sue Ann: Maybe in Mirage, dwarves look like this. Me: You do understand that not only don't these look like dwarves they do look like something else in particular? Sue Ann: What? Me: Look at them.

Me: Their small, green, pointy ears. Sue Ann: You lost me. Me: How are you working on a fantasy game? Sue Ann: Still don't know. Me: They're goblins!

Sue Ann: I think they're dwarves. Me: You think they're dwarves, and the artist thinks they're dwarves. The rest of the world doesn't think that. You know why? Sue Ann: Why? Me: BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT DWARVES! THEY'RE GOBLINS!

Sue Ann: To you. Me: Well, yes to me. And you know, anyone who knows anything about fantasy. Like, say, our players! Sue Ann: Well, the art's not changing.

Me: But but we asked for dwarves. Sue Ann: These are Geof Darrow's interpretation of dwarves. Me: I can see I'm talking to the wrong person. I guess this isn't an art issue. Let me talk to the development team. And that is how came to be.

Ask a Dwarf How realistic is Snow White and the Seven Dwarves? Dwarven Berserker: A fine woman like Snow White stays in a house with seven little dudes and no hanky panky happens?

I don't think so. Dwarven Nomad: They work all alone in a diamond mine and they have to shack up together in a tiny cottage in the middle of nowhere? Dwarven Bloodboiler: Dwarves don't sing songs that geeky. Enslaved Dwarf: Dwarves don't have stupid names like Sleepy and Sneezy. Pardic Miner: I thought it was quite realistic. Dwarven Thaumaturgist: I didn't buy that Dopey character. I've never met a dwarf that can shut up for longer than thirty seconds.

Dwarven Trader: Grumpy reminded me of my dad. Dwarven Lieutenant: Dwarves neither whistle nor walk in lines. Liberated Dwarf: I cried at the end.

Building Balthor One of my favorite parts of design is trying to design to pre-existing criteria (restrictions, creativity, hmm). One of the most common types of cards that fall into this group is legendary creatures. Often, the story uses certain characters and we are asked by the Creative Team to design a card to match the character. Balthor, both versions, was one such task. What set Balthor apart was the fact that we knew that he was going to die mid-way through the block and then come back in zombie form.

It's not often you get to design two versions of the same legend at the same time. Ertai, Crovax, Kamahl they all had their different cards designed at different times. But Balthor was showing up in two sets back to back. Here we finally had the luxury to do them together. What did this mean? It meant that we were able to use the two cards to show a contrast of a character.

Also, as the cards were linked creatively, the aesthetics of linking them mechanically was strong. We started by looking at the living version of him. The conversation went something like this: (I'm not one hundred percent who the Creative Team member was but I think it was Brandon.) Me: So what can you tell me about Balthor? Brandon: He's the leader of the barbarians. Me: I thought he was a dwarf. Brandon: He is.

Me: So he leads a band of barbarian dwarves? Brandon: No, they're human. Me: Then where are the dwarves? Brandon: What dwarves? Me: His dwarves. I mean, he's a dwarf.

He's got to know some dwarves. Brandon: No, he's been ostracized by the dwarves. Me: Wow, ostracized by dwarves. That's got to be tough.

Brandon: I guess. Me: So he's the leader of the barbarians. What else you got?

Brandon: Um, he kind of mentors Kamahl. Me: Anything else? Me: Okay, so I have to design a dwarven leader/mentor of barbarians. Brandon: Basically. (pause) Me: Good to know. The leading barbarians got me to the 'All barbarians get +1/+1'. The mentoring got me the barbarian power pumping.

Then I turned my attention to the black version. The dead version got a little meaner. This plus the whole undead thing got us to black.

To sync up the cards, I wanted to have a parallel construction. That is, I wanted Zombie Balthor (as he was called then) to give +1/+1 to some creature type and then have some way to affect that creature type. For the first part, I stumbled on minions pretty quickly. It jived with the story and it made a lord for yet another race that didn't have one (the living Balthor was the first Barbarian lord).

I tried a lot of activated abilities but none seemed to work. I went back to Brandon and got more story. This is where I got the idea of him being able to bring back his whole army. The original version just affected black creatures but as I looked at the two cards it dawned on me that I wanted to encourage barbarians and minions to hook up. This led to adding red to 's text. And thus a legendary dwarf was born, and killed, and reborn a second time. The Dwarven Berserker Speaks Out About The Word Dwarven 'Have you ever stopped to take a look at all the names of dwarves in the game?

Two thirds of it is Dwarven _______. Like it's real important to make sure the name explains that we're dwarves.

We're all freakin' three foot tall with beards! I think the art might be able to handle explaining who we are.

Want to know the real reason? 'Cause The Man don't like giving us names. He does't want to think about us as individuals. So look forward to more fun names like Dwarven Swordmaker and Dwarven Pissed Off Little Guy.' Paying Attention. What follows is a story about a game I played and how I won. Let me warn you before I begin that I believe this story will cause a schism.

Some of you will think I made an excellent move. Others will think I was being a jerk. That's why it's cool that we have forums. So when you check in this week's thread feel free to discuss whether I earned an interesting win or just took advantage of a beginning player. Anyway, here's the story. I'm playing a sealed game of Mirage.

I get my opponent down to 6 life when there is a ground stalemate. Now, in my hand I have a. (For those unaware, it is a 2/2 flier that is sacrificed if it is ever targeted.) Three hits from the Ghost will win me the game. The problem rests in a lone dwarf on my opponent's side of the table. He has the card ( Mirage's version of ). Now has a tap ability (to make creatures with power of 2 or less unblockable) that can kill my.

So I keep the Ghost in my hand. But as we continue playing, I get the sense from watching him play that he's not going to see the play. So I play the. And as I had ascertained, I am able to hit him on three consecutive turns without him ever realizing that he had the solution to the problem sitting on the table.

At game's end I thank him for a fun game and then point out his mistake. The big question is this. Is gauging an opponent's play skill to figure out what will and won't happen on the board, good gamemanship or was I just being a jerk? Talk amongst yourselves. My Life as a Dwarf, Part III Dwarves are known for their poor anger management skills.

My contention is it has something to do with their height. (In psychology they call it a 'Napoleon Complex'.) And how do I know? Because it's happened to me. In December of 1977, Randy Newman wrote a song parodying discrimination. He picked a trait that he thought was pretty innocent and then wrote a satirical song talking about how 'horrible' this group was. The song was called 'Short People.'

It had lyrics like 'They got little hands; little eyes. They walk around telling great big lies' and 'short people got no reason to live'. In 1977 I was ten. I wasn't ready for sarcasm.

(Interesting note – sarcasm is one of the last types of humor for children to understand.) I thought he was just an evil man. How do you terrorize a short child? Why, give him a Top Forty song for everyone to sing to him about how horrible it is to be small.

(Can you tell this is a sore issue?) Let everyone in on the fun. I hated Randy Newman. I hated him more than I had at that time hated anyone. He wasn't some punk fifth grader. He was a famous singer. And if I'd been a volatile dwarf with a well-crafted sword, I'd have taken him out. ('Short people, Randy?

No, you got no reason to live.' ) Luckily for all involved, I wasn't. I cc: You're Busy Dear Mr. Rosewater, My name is Joklur. I'm the leader of the Dwarf Union. I guess it's my job to ensure that my people get proper and accurate representation in the game. Our concerns really come down to three basic issues: • Please don't play into the dwarven stereotypes.

You know, angry little people that like to use forged weapons and fire to cause a ruckus and blow things up. • My people understand that the key to popularity is to appear on constructed level cards. While I clearly don't expect every dwarf card to be a Standard staple, I do expect that as a classic fantasy archetype that we would get our fair share of representation in tournament play.

• Once again as a key fantasy race, I feel it's only appropriate to expect a minimum of three or more dwarves in every legal expansion. I know other union leaders bug you incessantly. I don't want to do that (see, the stereotype of dwarf as crazed madman has no grounding in reality). I trust that you understand our issues and that you will ensure that each one is met with the care that you give the premier races. Whole-heartedly yours, Joklur Ask a Dwarf What's the collective term for dwarves? Dwarven Armorer: Cluster of dwarves. Dwarven Vigilantes: I don't know.

Bunch of dwarves. Dwarven Grunt: Murder of dwarves.

Dwarven Sea Clan: Scurvy of dwarves. Pardic Swordsmith: Fury of dwarves. Dwarven Recruiter: Smack of dwarves. Dwarven Berserker: Buttkicker of dwarves. Dwarven Weaponsmith: Shortage of dwarves? Whipkeeper: A lot of dwarves. Dwarven Patrol: Stock of dwarves.

Bloodfire Dwarf: Avalanche of Dwarves. Small Men Making It Big There are currently thirty-two dwarves in existence ( Magic cards not actual real life dwarves – there's more than thirty-two of them). Of them, which ones are the best designed? I'm glad you asked because it's time for The Magic: the Gathering All-time Dwarf Top 10.

Number #10 – This card slid in at number 10 for having one of the best flavors of any dwarf. I mean when a wall is causing you problems, who you gonna call?

Number #9 – This card also makes it into the top ten for having excellent flavor that comes from the mechanic itself. The card also makes interesting choices for the opponent as the card always leaves each land with one last use. Number #8 – This card (designed originally for goblins) is about as silly as dwarves get. I love the flavor that the card lights the fuse and has to wait for the explosion to occur. This card also does something I like a lot in design in that it sets up a game state that forces players to react. Creature X, Y and Z have four turns until they explode.

What are you going to do with them? Number #7 – Wow, as I go over these cards it's interesting how many just have a cool flavor that works itself through to the mechanics. I like that this guy will make you armor out of whatever artifact you give him to work with. The Weaponsmith beat out the Armorer for this slot as reusing artifacts was just more flavorful than turning cards in hand into armor. Number #6 – As anyone in R&D can tell you, I do so love my power/toughness switching cards. While the ability started in black (on the Legends card ), it was this little guy that introduced this wonderful ability to red (who still has it by the way – although blue does get to swap its own power and toughness).

Number #5 – Mechanically I like the idea that this card fluctuates greatly based on what else you are playing. If you have a lot of other sources of damage, this guy is great. If not, he's not so good. I really like cards that force players to make key decisions in deckbuilding as the card scales significantly based on what else is in the deck.

Number #4 – The Patrol made number four primarily because I think their drawback is amazing design. You can work with it but it's just not as easy as it seems at first blush.

Number #3 – The more I design the more I appreciate simple, elegant cards. It's hard to top four words of rules text. Also, this card really cemented this flavor into dwarves.

Number #2 – This card is so fundamental to what it does that R&D slang for the ability (that you can essentially redirect your damage to another creature rather than the player) is the 'Vigilante ability'. The card also has a lot of interesting play value. Number #1 – / One of the great accomplishments in design is making a card that looks bad but is secretly good. Even harder though is making a card that seems good but is bad. Even harder than that is making a card that seems good but is bad yet still players really like it.

I have no end of respect for how much goodwill has done. When you first start playing, the card just seems so good. (A quick note for my more novice readers – pay attention, it really isn't as good as you think. I swear.) Yet as you get better you start realizing its weakness. And even then, you're still kind of tempted to play it.

That my friends is great design. It's The Roles That Got Small While the dwarves have often been an entertainment novelty due to their height for many years, they are not alone. Here are some other famous pop culture figures that share their pain: • The Oompa Loompas • The Munchkins • The Ewoks • Mini-Me • Toulouse-Lautrec • Gary Coleman • Santa Elves • Hobbits • Leprehcauns • Danny Devito • Webster • Willow • And, of course, Tattoo (from Fantasy Island) Hi Ho, Hi Ho! Have you ever wondered how you would cast the seven dwarves if you only had to use specific dwarf cards from Magic. I sure hope not. But I have thirty-two columns to write, so I took a swing at it. Happy – I chose the Weaponsmith because he was the only one who I could find smiling in the art.

Grumpy – No one is more upset than the Berserker. Dopey – Look at the Alpha version of the art. It doesn't get dopier than that. Doc – This one was obvious. He's the only one you could even imagine calling Doc. Obviously a man of science. Sleepy – This one was tough.

I chose it because the woman in the art (who I can only assume is supposed to be the dwarf) seems the most sleepy of all the dwarves as picture in their art. Also, it's a vanilla 1/1. What else is it going to do if it doesn't sleep? Sneezy – All I can say is look at the art. Bashful – He's hiding. That's the best I could do.

Why the Dwarves Really Hate the Goblins I thought this might be the proper place to explain why Magic doesn't have more dwarves. It's the goblins' fault. (For a longer explanation of this, you might want to check out an early column of mine entitled '. While on the surface it was about cephalids, - it was Cephalid Week after all – it was really about dwarves.) Magic only has so much space for the small humanoid creatures in red.

And goblins just take up most of that space. Odyssey tried swapping the dwarves in for the goblins for a block and that didn't go over so well.

The majority of players, it seems, love their goblins. And as we are ultimately in the business of giving all you what you want (up to a point – you guys occasionally want things that would ultimately upset you), we have chosen to keep goblins at a relatively high level (not all of the time, but most often). This doesn't mean you'll never see a dwarf again (because you will) but be aware that when you do, enjoy them as they are never going to be as plentiful as the goblins. My Life as a Dwarf, Part IV Do you know the place where height is discriminated against the most?

The place where I as a youth was most aware of just how short I was? The amusement park. Yes, only at an amusement park is entrance to something based solely on height. This a big problem for me because as a young child I loved roller coasters (having experienced the miniature kiddy ones). The problem was that I wasn't quite four feet tall and every roller coaster that didn't have bunnies painted on the side of it had a height requirement of four feet tall (and the real cool ones required a height of five feet – but that would be a later torment).

Most of you probably do not fear the clown. You know the two dimensional wood one that holds out his hand with a word balloon that says 'You must be this tall to ride the fill in the scary roller coaster name. Me, I feared the clown (and let's face it clowns are scary to start with). The clown was my bouncer.

The clown was the one that stood between me and fun. I hated the clown. Not as much as Randy Newman, but still enough to really matter. How can a 3'11' boy ever hope of defeating the clown?

The answer rested in western apparel. Yes, my key to roller coasters was none other than the cowboy boot. A simple inch heel was all I needed.

And interestingly, roller coaster attendants never seem to ask why a young boy is wearing cowboy boots to an amusement park. I'm not sure if Gimli or Bashful ever had issues like this. Ask a Dwarf How do you feel about non-basic land? Dwarven Blastminer: Can't stand it. Dwarven Demolition Team: Is there a wall on it?

Dwarven Miner: Hate it. Liberated Dwarf: I feel sorry for it.

Dwarven Sea Clan: We stay far away from land. Dwarven Scorcher: Unless it's messing with me, I really don't give it much thought. Dwarven Driller: Non-basic, basic. I hate 'em all. Enslaved Dwarf: I don't really feel one way or another.

Pardic Miner: Do we have to talk about land? It brings up a number of issues for me. Mine Layer: I don't cry a tear when it blows up. I can tell you that. Dwarven Berserker: I see. You're talking to dwarves so of course you just have to ask about non-basic land.

You just have to push our buttons, don't you? Oh look, the little man gets angry. Get away from me. List A - Magic Related (Choose One) What happened to?
