Mazzikin Warden
Oh, you're back for more? Fantastic. Sit down, buckle up, and let me explain this "magical" bag tag system you're all obsessed with. Because evidently, perfectly normal disc golf wasn't thrilling enough. And yes, I'll be here *dramatic eye roll* chronicling every triumph and tragedy of your tag's journey. It's literally in my contract...
Created when Ezra Katz adapted ancient Kabbalistic binding rituals to repurpose Mazzikin spirits - normally responsible for household misfortunes - into protectors. These spirits now inhabit consecrated clay tablets buried at sanctuary perimeters, their chaotic energy focused into vigilant sentry duty.
Ethereal humanoid forms composed of swirling clay particles and shadow matter. Capable of phasing between physical and spiritual planes. Sustain themselves through recited Psalms, with strength tied to proximity to sanctified ground. Can manifest temporary barriers from nearby debris.
Serve as early warning systems and psychological deterrents around protected sites, detecting mystical intrusions through disturbances in sacred space and harrying intruders with localized poltergeist phenomena.
The Golem Guardians are a faction dedicated to protecting the ancient Golem and the Jewish community it was created to defend. They believe in the Golem's sacred purpose and seek to uncover the truth behind its creation while preserving the creature's legacy. The Guardians work tirelessly to maintain the delicate balance between the Golem's power and the safety of the region.
Ezra Katz is a descendant of the ancient Jewish community protected by the Golem. Raised on stories of the creature's sacred purpose, Ezra has dedicated his life to safeguarding the Golem and the community's legacy. He is a wise and compassionate leader, guided by a deep understanding of the Golem's importance and the need to maintain the balance of power in the region.
In Week 7 (Betrayer's Revelation), the player improved their position with tag number changing from 30 to 3. (Week 7 of 8)
Origin Story:
When Rabbi Ezra got tired of Mazzikin Warden spirits TP-ing his yeshiva like a bunch of TikTok pranksters, he yeeted their chaotic energy into terracotta tags using arcane code scrawled on a refurbished iPad Pro. Now we’ve got spectral bouncers hybridizing The Dybbuk with The Matrix – because nothing says “sacred duty” like a clay NFT haunting your Ziploc. (Yes, we’re really doing this.) Kabbalah meets Kubernetes, baby. Is it a holy protector? Or just Judaism’s first clay-based security system? Drops tag Figure it out yourselves.
As the Mazzikin Warden shuddered to life in Rabbi Ezra’s iCloud-synced kiln, Jake Ellis tripped over a tree root mid-putt – thus fulfilling the prophecy of “He Who Falls Before Rising…PDGA #267243.” The tag’s clay algorithm detected his 866-rated blend of mediocrity and sheer chutzpah, bonding to his Zuca cart like a golem with buyer’s remorse. Will this “Chosen Schmuck” defend Art Dye from rogue dybbuks? Or will his reign crumble faster than a forehand hyzer into headwind? Mazel tov, Jake – the spirits await your disc-ples.
