== Foreign Company Players ==
Noncanon, but still show up, usually uninvited.

* [[wikipedia:Humphrey_Appleby|Sir Humphrey Appleby]] - Never directly plays but tries to pretend to be one or another player's employee and steer the game from that position. Since the players are more clever and observant than British MPs, this usually doesn't work, but his ploys are usually entertaining and useful enough that he's not actually banned.
* [[Batman]] - Some of the more [[Mary Sue]] versions of Batman sometimes show up in disguise, usually looking more for information on a case rather than to actually play.
* [[Exalted | Ebon Dragon]] - Usually winds up screwing himself over in the process of screwing everybody else. Theoretically banned but he somehow keeps on backstabbing.
* [[Star Wars | Sheev Palpatine]] - Mainly notable for being really hard to get rid of; the man is hardier then a Nurglite cockroach infestation. He is a surprisingly conservative player whose main weakness ''seems to be'' a great love of hearing himself talk. Be careful, though, as his double- and triple-bluffs are what keep him in the game; an easy way to make him ragequit is to mention the Disney canon and how he will never be as cool as in the old Expanded Universe.
* [[/co/ | Thanos]] - Tolerated mainly because he's a sucker whose plays are fascinating and entertaining in their ultimately self-defeating nature. Constantly tries to get some incredibly broken card into play - almost always fails.
* David Xanatos - Usually plays penny-ante compared to the other players, but is used to being a minor player among the Big Boys; is tolerated mainly because each of the main players considers him one of theirs, although he winds up working with the Emperor and Tzeentch more than with the others.
* [[Urza]] - Notable for making convuluted but workable combos out of trash and chaff cards, on the rare occasion that he gets naturally synergistic cards, he will pull off a broken and often infinite combo that only ends when everyone else tires of it or [[Khorne]] shows up to take his still living head and try to add it to his skull throne, forcing Urza to abandon the game for now and retrieve his head.
