Hymn to Tourach Trivia

Hello fellow May birthday haver! For my birthday trivia I'd like something about Hymn to Tourach or random discard in general, since it's my favorite effect in Magic. On a related note, I'm super excited to play with Crabomination!

The effect of Hymn to Tourach on the game soured us on random discard as it too often led to game losses to mana screw. It led to us making a rule that we only use random discard at a high enough mana value, that it most likely isn’t hitting land.Happy Birthday!

Universes Within Characters

Is there a chance we'll ever see more cards depicting the characters created for Universes Within? As in, will we ever see a card for Bjorna or The Howling Abomination that isn't a reprint for a Universes Beyond character but an original card? I just think it would be cool and make them feel a little more "within" than they already are, if that makes sense lol.

I can imagine us doing it one day.

Food Creature Design

Hi Mark, I had a question about food creatures. Would you say that food as a subtype explicitly requires the creature to have the ability:{2},{T}: you gain 3 lifeOr for example if you were to make a beefier version of gingerbrute (delver of secrets style) called "gingerhulk", could it have an ability like {3},{T}: you gain 5 life

Food creatures need to gain life when sacrificed, but it doesn’t have to be exactly 2 for 3 life. See Vegetation Abomination as an example:

Food Type Mechanics

Un-rules question. given it has the Food type - does Vegetation Abomination also have 2, T, Sacrifice this artifact: Gain 3 life?

No, we decided sacrificing for life gain was close enough to allow it to be subtype Food.

MCU Recurring Villains Existence

Which MCU villains are recurring? Thanos is dead. Ultron is dead. Ego, Ronan, Obadiah, Killian, Hela, etc etc. Even Loki, the one character you might be able to call "recurring", was finally killed.

Loki was killed and yet, not currently dead. (You need to watch the Loki show. Spoilers.) Other MCU villains still alive: Red Skull, the Abomination, Justin Hammer, Baron Zemo, Yellow Jacket, Dormammu, the Vulture, Ghost, Yon-Rogg, the Supreme Intelligence, Agatha Harkness, The Kingpin, The Leader, Batroc, Ayesha, Mordo, The Shocker, The Thinker, The Prowler, Scorpion, Surtur, and the Grandmaster. There are also organizations like HYDRA and AIM. And even some of the deaths like Ultron and Mysterio were left ambiguous if they were actually dead.

Opinion on Banana Bread

What’s your stance on banana bread?

The fact that you have to ask tells me I’ve failed somehow. Because I feel the need to educate: it’s an abomination of bread. At least, that’s my take on it.

Pineapple Pizza Opinion

Mark, what is your opinion of pineapple on pizza?

It’s an abomination. I love ham on pizza though.

Watermarks in Alara

re: Watermarks in Shards of Alara. I think having them would have been problematic when you made cards in Alara Reborn that were obviously a mixture of two shards, like Ethercaste Knight or Etherium Abomination.

Yet another reason we didn’t do watermarks in Alara block.
