Reprints of Older Cards

In recent years, Plainchase and Arch Enemy have reappeared, which is very exciting.
I hope you can figure out a new way to offer us those cards from the past.

Are you talking about reprinting old Planechase and Archenemy cards?

Archenemy Revival in Commander

Whoever decided to bring back Archenemy for Commander needs a big hug.

I’ll see if I can figure out who that is and hug them, provided they are okay with it.

Feedback on Preview and Foundations

Wow, what a crazy day of reveals.Duskmourne is looking much better than I thought it would be and I'm very thankful for the early release of the Planeswalker's Guide. Hopefully this change is welcomed by others as well and this could be the new norm (plane guides before set releases, not the super-early stuff, obviously).I'm also very happy with the idea of Foundations being a semi-permanent Core to standard sets and for new Archenemy cards! The changes in Archenemy Commander also seem good

I’ll pass along the comments.

Father-Son Bonding

Some Magic-inspired stories, all about bonding with my son, who is now 7-and-a-half: I don’t remember what I did first to get him interested in Magic, but it was probably playing with my friend Max, who taught me and my now-wife how to play - but I know Duels of the Planeswalkers on Xbox 360 helped get my son into the game with the effects and music but especially archenemy variant and a Nicol Bolas final match.In the years since then, he and I occasionally get to talking about his favorite creature types and characters, and after quite some time, we have slowly narrowed down his choices to 4: Spiders, Zombies with Liliana, Nicol Bolas, and Niv-Mizzet. Not surprisingly, two of Magic’s most common dragons in that list. I don’t know what it is with dragons but I’m glad WotC had realized their appeal so they’re prominently there for my son to enjoy, and with quite a few options so he may get a Nicol Bols dragon deck that’s much different than any dragon deck I have tried to make myselfThanks to War of the Spark, I finally created a Horde Magic deck and he loved hearing about the storyline of Amonkhet and Hour of Devastation leading up to the actual WAR set, as I explained those stories using key cards before we started the game, to establish the setting. Coincidentally, it was my son with his Gideon that ultimately dealt the final blow - no need to sacrifice himself the way it played out in our match! My son will still reference this game and it’s nearly been a year.Also since that time I learned that the classic Planeswalker webcomics had been bundled as graphic novels, so I got those and our nighttime routine for a bit was to read about Garruk’s corruption by Liliana and that build up to Rise of the Eldrazi and Mirrodin Besieged; coincidentally we finished as March of the Machine previews were going on, and my villain-loving son is now waiting for me to build a Phyrexian horde so he can battle Elesh Norn. We look forward to many more years with the game, and especially learning what comes next for some of our favorite still-active villains: Ashiok, Oko, and Tezzeret!

Thanks for sharing.

Archenemy Set Probability

What are the chances we'll see another Archenemy set?

We recently did Planechase, so there’s always a chance.

Discworld and More UB

Joining in on the UB requestsDiscworld, maybe an Unset, maybe not, I’m just throwing it out thereGuilty Gear, the fighting game, would be more than just legendary fighters, Guilty Gear 2: Overture has plenty of minions, soldiers, knights etc. to use. (I’m currently designing my own custom set on Guilty Gear)Small Warhammer 40k package with things for Horde, Planescape, Archenemy etc?Blizzard Entertainment’s Heroes of the Storm, why not one Blizzard IP but their own crossover game! Includes many fan favourite characters and as a MOBA it as minions and things.DnD Planescape? I just want Eberron honestly.Avatar the Last Airbender.

Thanks.

MTG Clue Edition Feedback

Mark, I'd like to once again express my frustration with the format of MTG Clue Edition. While I understand that it was made as Jumpstart-esque packs to keep some of the 'variance', I just don't think a product at this price point benefits from that variance at all. Having the product in my hands now, all of my worst fears about it came true. Not only did I open three Orzhov packs, two of them were exactly the same. I also opened two Izzet packs that were exactly the same. The unique cards in the set can be opened nowhere else, not even in MKM Set or Collector Boosters, which makes it completely impossible to collect them all without opening multiple of MTG Clue Edition boxes, which cost a hefty amount.I do appreciation some experimentation with the format of Magic: the Gathering, and I think making a board game style box set is a great idea (Archenemy Nicol Bolas was a great example of this). I was legitimately very excited for this product at first. But the 'variance' in what cards you open doesn't make it more fun, it just leads to a lot of feels bads.I ask that you pass along to the relevant people that in the future, if a product like this is made, that it includes all of the possible unique cards within.Thank you.

I can pass that note along.

Multiplayer Innovation

If/when another "multiplayer innovation" product a la Planechase/Archenemy? With Commander being the most popular format I think it'd be fun to experiment with different ways to shake up the gameplay.Introducing an optional new gameplay variant with one Commander product a year might be a fun way to try different things.

It’s happening right now. That’s what the Clue product is. It’s a multiplayer innovation product.

Poison in Commander

Re: PoisonIt has a problem in Commander (or any other free-for-all format) where normally only one player is using it, so the other players aren't contributing to their win condition (unlike damage.) So the best case scenario for the poison player tends to be eliminating one opponent quickly before gassing out/becoming the archenemy and getting eliminated.Are there any plans to address this in future Commander products, perhaps by introducing creatures with toxic and myriad, and/or cards that goad creatures and give them toxic?

I’m not sure there’s a great need to make poison better in Commander.

Archenemy Possibility

Is there any chance of getting Archenemy Schemes alongside Outlaws of Thunder Junction? If MOM as a multiverse set was a great place to bring back Planes, wouldn't a villains set be a great place to bring back Schemes?

I can’t talk about when or where, but the return of Archenemy is a possibility.

Archenemy Commander Set Potential

We've gotten two Planechase Commander sets recently. What are the chances of an Archenemy Commander set?

It’s a possibility.

Archenemy Cards Prospect

Does the success of the Planechase products this year help the chances of more Archenemy cards?

It doesn’t hurt.

Archenemy's Return

hey with Planechase coming back do you think that you'll print anymore Archenemy cards?

If the right circumstances come along.

More Collaborative Sets?

Will we ever have more Conspiracy, Battlebond, or Archenemy? Those were super fun

Planechase just came back in March of the Machine…

Archenemy Precons Probability

Do the Planechase precons make us more likely to get Archenemy precons?

If players like add-on elements in the precons, it will encourage us to experiment with more, so if March of the Machine precons are successful, it could potentially help Archenemy.

any chance you could bring Archenemy back?

There is a chance.

Battlebond Popularity Issues

What are the issues with battlebond that put it at the bottom of your potential return list? (among Planechase, Archenemy, Conspiracy, and Battlebond)

Two-headed giant just isn’t all that popular as a format.

Is Planechase the only one you feel has a reasonable chance of returning out of Planechase, Archenemy, Conspiracy, and Battlebond?

Chance for Niche Variant Format

Do you think there's a chance of an Acorn set designed for a variant format like Archenemy or Planechase, or do you think that combining two niche sets would make something too niche to sell? (Also, I would now like to express interest in a Bablovia Archenemy set.)

There is such a thing as too niche.

Future of Planechase or Archenemy

Are we ever going to get new Planechase or Archenemy?

Hopefully, one day.
