Aurochs

Creature Type Updates

Its been over 15 years since the grand creature type update. Is there plans to do a smaller scale version to update old creature types? Like making Frontline Rebel a Rebel finally? Or Witch Engine a Phyrexian? Or combine older types like Aurochs and Oxen?

There are no current plans to do another Grand Creature Type Update.

More Aurochs Possibility

My first ever precon deck was Aurochs Stampede from Coldsnap, and my heart longs for more beefy boys. Will we ever see more Aurochs, or are they as extinct in magic as they are in real life?

More Aurochs aren’t off limits.

Confusion over Creature Type Ox

Why was Bartered Cow a creature type Ox when there are four Aurochs cards? Would you errata the Aurochs if they would be reprinted?

Cows are likely descended from Aurochs, but not Aurochs.

Desired Creature Types

In addition to squirrels, is there other creature type you want to bring back to black border? Like aurochs maybe :)?

I’d love to bring Beebles back, but they’re harder to get back than Squirrels.

Unstable Draft Feedback

Mark, just wanted to give some feedback on unstable. I think it is one of the more fun draft formats in the last couple of years. I really appreciate a lighter side of Magic as I feel that WOTC takes the game too seriously (aka more squirrels and cards that have flavor text like Aurochs). I play games to escape drama not get more of it. The only negative is that I felt there could have been a few more puns in it, but it was really enjoyable. I hope I get to do a few more drafts.

There are a lot of puns snuck into it. It’s possible you missed a few.

Legendary Auroch Promise

Hey Mark, so now that Return to Ice Age have totally, and clearly 100% been confirmed, can I request a legendary Auroch lord for my sweet Aurochs tribal commander deck, pretty please.

I can promise when we do Ice Age 2, it will have a legendary Auroch. : )

Future Aurochs Possibility

Will you guys ever print Aurochs again? It's a creature type that I have a weird sentimental value to.

I doubt we’ve seen the last of Aurochs.

Auroch Tribal Exclusion

Why didn't the Auroch tribal make it into Theros? Aurochs have a (small) part in Greek mythology, and they had a unique and interesting tribal.

There was more things we could do than we had space, so some things didn’t make the cut.

Egg Tribal Unlikely

Any chance of the Egg creature type coming back if another one gets printed? Five would be enough to make an Egg tribal deck without using changelings - that's better than Aurochs can do.

I don’t think egg loves should be optimistic for its return.
