Weird

Weirds are a red/blue creature type and a subspecies of Elementals. Weirds were once a creature type unique to the Izzet League on Ravnica that functioned as ubiquitous lab assistants and "pets" of Izzet League members. The type was seen for the first time outside of Ravnica on the card <c>Water Weird</c> from Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate.
==Storyline==
Weirds were originally created by Niv-Mizzet, the Izzet League parun and guildmaster, during the Katazar-Razblat Elemental Symposium. Unimpressed and bored by the quarrelling factions of elementalists over whose media was the most adaptable (i.e., fire, water, earth, and electricity), Niv-Mizzet took each opposing element and combined them into semi-sentient walking paradox “pets.” The Firemind subsequently ordered the weirds to burn, drown, smash, and electrocute all the squabbling mages. Contrary to the intention of Niv-Mizzet's experiments, weirds are more erratic and wilder than elementals of their constituent elements; but, they are nevertheless potent fighting familiars or guardian creatures. Weirds have been used as sentries to protect the entrances to Izzet steam tunnels and laboratories. These floating weirds emerge out of nowhere as animated thunderclouds.<c>Thunderheads</c>
Numerous Izzet chemisters are oblivious to the innumerable machinations of their guild, instead obsessively preoccupied with creating the "perfect" weird. Now, weirds have come to be the ubiquitous lab assistants, as well as becoming magically bound into a great many forms of machinery and infrastructure to ensure proper workings and efficiency. Azorius lawmages would like to outlaw the creation of weirds, but first, they'd have to settle their long-standing debate on how to classify them.
Weirds tend to be constructed with vaguely humanoid forms, their "skin" being self-sealed "plasmodermic bubbles" containing the diametrically-opposing energies that give them life. Different types of weirds include petrahydroxi (created from living stone as well as fire and water), gelectrodes (created to conduct electricity), blistercoils (research drones),Duel Decks: Izzet vs. Golgari flavor insert and steamcores (the basic type, used to power Izzet machinery).
==Card history==
Weirds came about as a creature type as world building made some weird creatures and didn’t know what to call them. There was talk of making them Elementals, but, in the end, R&D called them by their nickname, Weirds.
===Ravnica block===
Three weirds were printed in Ravnica block:
*<c>Petrahydrox</c>
*<c>Gelectrode</c>
*<c>Steamcore Weird</c>
They are also created by:
*<c>Thunderheads</c>
===Return to Ravnica block===
Weirds were also featured in the Return to Ravnica block, 
*<c>Blistercoil Weird</c>
*<c>Fluxcharger</c>
*<c>Frostburn Weird</c>
*Melek, Izzet Paragon, a legendary Weird wizard specially created to compete as the guild champion maze-runner.
*<c>Turn//Burn</c> is an instant that turns a target creature into a red Weird with base power and toughness 0/1.
===Guilds of Ravnica block===
Weirds were absent in Guilds of Ravnica because Izzet was spell-centric and thus had the least amount of creatures. Weirds lost out on numbers in design. War of the Spark, however, featured two weirds who appeared to be simple monocolored elementals that worked together.
*<c>Spellgorger Weird</c>
*<c>Spellkeeper Weird</c>
===Core Set 2021===
