Yeti is a card and there are two available

If you're like me, then you want yeti as a playable card, one that "deals damage equal to its power to target creature" and "gains first strike until end of turn".

It's just comforting to know.

Somehow Highly Appropriate To Me

I haven't confirmed he's right, but Neil Gaiman, in all truthfulness says that yeti literally translated means "that thing over there".

Here's Gaiman's take on it:

"Quick, brave Himalayan Guide - What's that thing over there?"

"Yeti."

"I see."

Yeti is so so cute

"I'm as happy as a clam." What mother wouldn't love?



"Watch me trample a disco dancer." With a spark and a smile.



"Look how much shorter this fellow is." Always comparing himself to others. Such insecurities are charming.



"Boo! Did I maim you?" The wit of it!

Cute.

That's right, a Frozen Arm

Ben Balistreri's yeti has a frozen arm! I think I speak with authority when I say that yeti are now sulking in their caves, silently wishing they too had a frozen arm.

This supplants an earlier contender for Most Likely To Inspire Jealousy Among Snow Beasts:

Revisiting my previous genius

Years ago, I posed the controversial, and if I do say so, landmark query:

Yeti = Snow Troll?!



To this date, not one mortal soul has come forward with a shred of evidence to dispute my sensational theorem. I would honestly settle for a mere shred, a crumb, the tattered scrap of a hem off the edge of the completely ignored part of the underside of evidence. But my allegorical mailbox remains ever-absent of such detritus. Reluctantly, I am forced to exclaim with the utmost and most brazen confidence that my challenge to disprove will never be met!

So yeah, I guess it's settled. Here's why yeti ain't no ape:

Ape Characteristics:
Social
Often vegetarian
Small teeth
Lives in tropical climes
Enjoys learning sign language


could you really see this poor guy out in the snow?

Troll Characteristics:
Solitary
Quite carnivorous
Big, freakin' huge fangs
Lives in areas where it gets cold (like Scandinavia or... the Himalayas?)
Enjoys gnawing on human legs


now we're talking! see? this. just. makes. sense.
