* Dragon Poker, from the ''[[MythAdventures]]'' novel ''Little Myth Marker'', appears to be a cross between standard poker and [[Calvin Ball|the fictional "Fizzbin"]] from ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]''. In the games that were described in the book, it was always played for a [[w:table stakes|table stake]].

** theThe original official default way of playing the game was called Ante. In Ante at the start of the game players would put a random card from their deck on the table, and the winner of the game would keep the ante cards. There are a handful of cards that interact with the Ante mechanic and must be removed from the deck prior to playing a non-Ante game. Ante proved wildly unpopular resulting in non-Ante becoming the official default way of playing and WotC stopped printing Ante Cards. In fact, you cannot run an Ante Sanctioned Event. Even so, official Ante rules do exist. As they currently stand "each player puts one random card from their deck into the ante zone after determining which player goes first but before players draw any cards. Cards in the ante zone may be examined by any player at any time. At the end of the game, the winner becomes the owner of all the cards in the ante zone."
