Folks in my playgroup and I enjoy using Scissors Lizard, Paper Tiger, Rock Lobster to determine who goes first in a match. You shuffle the three cards, place them face down, and each player picks one. The dominant card goes first.
This got me thinking, in the same sense as the above mentioned trio, which are from an Un- set, are there any other trio of cards within Magic that answer and/or affect each other in a similar cyclical fashion?
I've been doing Rock, Paper, Scissors for a while now as well. A word of note, it helps ease some players minds if they select both cards, one to keep, one to give to you. It's difficult to shuffle around three cards without looking like some street hustler.
Winner would be determined which creature would die during appropriate gameplay. Basically Dervish would attack while Lynx blocks for example. Dervish is draw, Lynx is play. I think this could also be a method for determining who plays first in 3 or 4 player multiplayer games.

One possibility would be creatures with protection. Like thus:
Whirling Dervish green with protection from black
Spectral Lynx White w/pf Green
Knight of Stromgald black w/pf White

I think this could work too.
Creepy Doll Indestructible 1/1
Contagious Nim Infect 2/2
Elvish Archers First Strike 2/1
There's more of course but I'm tired.....
Would not do it all the time, but its cool to have the Rock/Paper/Scissor cards around.
