Off-topic: Looking for Dead Man's Hand puzzles (Inquest magazine)

Hi!

Couldn't find an off-topic forum in here, so using the standard one - move/delete if inappropriate (Would be nice to notify me in case of the latter)

I take it many of you have played Magic the Gathering in the 90s. There used to be a gaming magazine called Inquest (which covered MTG and other games, too). They had a riddle/puzzle section called "Dead Man's Hand" in every issue, where the challenge was to help "the world's worst magic player" just to survive until the next turn (which would then bring inevitable Death).

Any chance some of you have these "Dead Man's Hand" riddles/puzzles somewhere to share...?

Cheers!

late reply, but I downloaded MTG Forge a few months ago, and it has playable versions of all of those Inquest puzzles, plus a whole lot more... I just started messing with them -> scroll down on this page for instructions:

Wow. Thank you very much!!

Wow! This is awesome.

I can't wait to see how my addled middle-aged brain compares to my addled teenager brain.
