@Onamah: That sounds truly hilarious to pull on someone. Another awful 4 card combo that makes me laugh at the thought of using it on someone. Thanks for that.
In my opinion, Amphin was just made to draw players into Magic Lore.
If they are smart, they would add some tidbits about their race and home plane in a random book, and when a curious layman stumbles upon that cards flavour text and wants to inquire further in a forum, they tell him to read X book because it says Y.
I dont see the reason to clarify anything about it in INN or anywhere in particular.
Maybe this is:
Quote from Doug Beyer"s Savor the Flavor »
What's this? An "amphin"? With creature type Salamander Rogue? *blinks* What in the whatwhat?
Every so often we try out a new creature race. The amphin are a race of lanky, shrewd, partially aquatic humanoids who can dwell either in the briny depths or in the overgrown shallows. Little is known about their civilization as yet; time will tell whether we see more of them in the future.
It's always risky to debut a new race, as they have to compete with dozens of other creature types for slots in Magic sets and in players' hearts. Plus, a vanilla 2/4 is not exactly a splashy debut, so the amphin might not be putting their most dramatic foot forward here. (Compare to the dramatic debuts of, say, Ravenous Baloth, Crater Hellion, or Masticore—those species really started with a bang.) But I have a long-term attitude about it—we'll see how these salamander-folk fare as Magic rolls on.
