#BlackestFriday2020 Winner Announced!

Illuminated Pilgrim is our winner!

Do you ever get so mad at the holidays that you want to yell at your relatives? This cards for you, because it happens to Patrice too!


The difference is that she has magical ability, and when she channels her rage into playing "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" on her violin, sometimes, if her grandma(Madame Labranche - what, you didn't know that?) is close enough, the song just might accidentally become reality.


Of course, Rudolph then feels obligated to help you out because of the awful thing he just did. He doesn't know you manifested him and his actions. So, he'll happily give you a ride, help you with various tasks, and use some of Santa's magic to help you get various kinds of presents.


After all, it's the least he can do.


But all helpfulness has its limits, and if Rudolph runs out of stamina or sanity, he takes it as a near miss and heads on back to the North Pole. But your grandma's still dead.


If your Grandma isn't close enough at the moment, you can still channel your rage to help you with another task, or spend an action to get another chance to kill Grandma before your deck cycles.
