MTG Salvation

Quote from Savage Dream Lord

I can confirm that it's not any of Tolkien's elvish languages. I have gotten similar text messages from people who were drunk or trying to text by feel under the table. I think I can identify the script as "typonese". I won't even try to figure out a mistyped message in an unknown language.
Here's the plan: Send her a message that starts in English and degrades into gibberish. When she asks you what it means, suggest a trade. Or challenge her to a game of Magic for the true meaning to the message. Then bust out the thallid deck. Thallids never lose when it counts.

The man who might be called the leader of the group – a tall man with a shaved head, who to others only looked about twenty-five years old – looked down at his watch as it beeped three o'clock, as if to compliment the chiming clock tower. If the bell chimes hadn't already convinced him that it was time to act, his watch – more familiar, modern technology – almost seemed to make up his mind for him. He took a torch out of the backpack he carried, and switched it on, only just illuminating his surroundings. It cast an eerie light on the faces of about ten other people – men and women, but mostly men – all about his age, and all with the same guilt deep in their stomachs with regards to what they were about to do.
