Set: Magic the Gathering Throne of Eldraine French (Rate)

“ Pie? I'm not sure what it says since I've tried and failed to learn French on multiple occasions, but based on the skulls in the top right I'm guessing this is a poisoned pie or something. Unless of course it's referring to diabetes...pie is certainly not good for your blood sugar. Don't ask me how I know! ” -Billy Kingsley

“ “Bake into a pie” in English. Neat card, can’t wait to hear about how horrible everyone thinks it is and how this site is going downhill because MtG cards are on it. Just like last time. ” -pugchump

“ Dean Winchester would love this card. ” -rmpaq5

“ Played this card at a tournament, gave my opponent diabetes. ” -parsley24

“ My Duolingo pays off! ” -buckstorecards

“ oh god not the french ” -mkb

“ MTG OH Viva La France Edition ” -captkirk42

“ Ah yes. A pie. Why was this made again? ” -BigBoyOnWheels

“ That's a pretty tasty looking tort. I mean tourte. ” -jackal726

“ Never in a million years would I think a RCotD would be a torte card... ” -TwinKiller

“ I love the artistry of these cards. I buy a pack if I ever see them on the shelf for this reason, rather than the one they are made for. ” -scottwalker29

“ This card being in French has absolutely no impact on my ability to understand what it means. Magic is always going to be Greek to me. ” -hiflew

Here's the English version. Pretty good card, if perhaps a bit challenging to deploy. I like the art and subtle nod to Hansel and Gretel's witch friends. ------------------------------- Collecting White Sox, Royals, and 1978 Topps Baseball.

Mmmmm Pie. Oh wait. Is that a hand coming out? I only prefer foot pie. Edited on: Apr 11, 2022 - 1:38AM ------------------------------- "He stood there like the house by the side of the road, and watched that one go by." - Ernie Harwell

“Bake into a pie” is not quite the right translation even though the English version has it that way. "Faire cuire une tourte" is "Bake a pie". "Bake into a pie" would be "Faire cuire dans une tourte"

I just learned that "une tourte" is a pie that is closed at the top. "Une tarte" is a pie that open (eg topped with fruit, lemon merengue, etc). I've been incorrectly using "une tarte" to refer to all pies!

Le pie. I must admit i'd rather gather for pie than magic.

I'm glad my French and knowledge of the reference here worked out. I must say, I know little of Magic, but this is an amazing looking card.
