Ok here's how it works: I want you to guess what card I'm referring to based on the riddle below. Each line of the riddle corresponds to one aspect of that card; it could be a reference to the card's text, fortitude, damage, the type of card it is or even could be more obscure things like the card's picture or the set that it came from.

It'll also be great if you could drop your reasoning behind your guess, so I got something to work with

Without further adieu, your riddle:

The next fad will affect you all
said the man in a hat
a half dozen in the bag
and 1 trick in the pouch

Clue #1: Its a non virtual card
Clue #2: The 1st line has 2 meanings (its important, trust me)
Clue #3: Its an in-arsenal card
Clue #4: The man in the hat isn't the Undertaker/Deadman Inc/Mark Calaway, nether is it JR!
Clue #5: Its an action card (duh!)

The argument for the first line is that the Undertaker's nickname is the Phenom, and another word for fad is "phenomenon." My question would be how it fit the "6 in a bag, 1 in a pouch" thing.

Unfortunately, I haven't the slightest clue, so I don't have any guess, either.

actually 6 in the bag could refer to Taker's SHS and 1 in the pouch could refer to his SSA

except that i was thinking of another card. So good guess but no cigar Wink

actually it'd probably be Rest In Peace since he mentioned man in the Hat(Taker) half a dozen tricks(6 cards to hand) 1 in the bag(arsenal to grave?).

that seems like the right Answer. I was going to guess some Action card with A Heyman or JR quote. As they are also notable WWE personas who where hats.
Just in case your wrong I'll guess

that'd fit if it wasnt for... i dunno

"The next fad will affect you all
said the man in a hat
a half dozen in the bag
and 1 trick in the pouch"

3rd line pretty much says 6 is somewhere in it, and that first line would probably mean a card that affects everyone in the game & well is a Fad... man with the Hat well it's either JBL, JR or Heyman, 1 trick in the pouch... ... ... ok that one i'm stumped on... man i wish i had real cards to look at in the lackey patch and had my old cards still with me...

and for my guess... Hardcore till the End?

Hardcore Wrestling was a Fad so thats how i thought Hardcore till the End... 6F(half dozen), opponent's maneuvers are -1D, you got get 1 maneuver(1 in the pouch) and i think JR said something on the card(again i dont have the physical card on me...)

though something tells me i'm overthinking and focusing on the wrong part of the riddle.

I was going for the third and fourth lines together, since Government Mule is 7F and 6 + 1 = 7. I expected LordFa9 to be tricksier than he was.

aww man I didnt know your expectations were so high Sad

anyway I noticed its kinda odd that nobody's really trying to crack the first line, since it has 2 possible, equally valid references

also barking up the JR tree with such wild abandon might not be such a good idea Wink

I'm going out on a limb (since everyone else is barking up the JR tree  Cheesy) and assume its referencing JBL in some way.  He has a 10 gallon hat and he was created for Heat decks.  Heat only works when you have 6 cards in your ringside and you can put one in your ring. 

I'm guessing the JBL superstar card.
