In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Messislamiste” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 3671 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3511 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Messislamiste” meme mean?
The word points to no specific event: it is a portmanteau in the family of nicknames invented by users from a star’s name. It appears in usernames, absurd edits and fan arguments where a name is twisted to amuse or irritate. Its effect comes from the collision of a football champion with current-affairs vocabulary. It is best taken for what it is, a play on sounds, and not pinned on any real person.
Where does the “Messislamiste” meme come from?
Lionel Messi, the Argentine footballer, is a regular target for online name twists, like every top player. “Messislamiste” stems from that internet reflex: merging a famous surname with a topical term to get a catchy label. Searches for the word lead not to an original video but to comments and social network exchanges where it is thrown out as a punchline. Its spread stays within circles that enjoy over-the-top wordplay.

The reprint of the “Messislamiste” card
The “Messislamiste” card was reprinted as Rare (No. 3,869). A reprint is the same meme printed again, with a number of its own and a higher rarity than its first printing, which was common. Its face reads “Reprinted card · Higher rarity”.
Every printing is dealt in the packs of the Memes FR pack, each at its own rarity: the higher it is, the rarer the card is to pull. Copies of the first printing already pulled stay as they are, and any printing counts toward completing a set.
MyMemeCards reprints a meme when it deserves more than the rarity of its first printing, such as a classic that became iconic after it came out: the reprint gives it a place among the most sought-after cards without taking anything from the players who already had it.
