What makes a bard red/green?

Red and green are the colors of impulsively living. Many Bards fall in that camp.

Howdy Mark! Out of curiosity was there ever consideration to a creature type "Cook", "Chef" or any variation of? We are introduced to plenty of chefs in a lot planes along with food tokens. We saw Bards become a little more prevalent lately as well.

It’s been talked about, but nothing serious.

Hiya Mark! A couple days ago was my birthday, do you have any trivia on the Bard creature type? Failing that, some fun fact about Unstable or Unfinity that you'd love to share? Have a nice day! :D

The idea of Bard being a creature type goes back from my early days at Wizards. I suggested Elvish Bard be an Elvish Bard, but two creature types on one creature was still mostly off limits. The reason it usually got shot down is we don’t make enough Bards. I’m happy it finally happened.I’m glad Unfinity got to add two Robot Bards.Happy Birthday!

Hey Mark! :) What keeps any card that has an effect that is identical to an existing keyword (i.e. surveil), being erratad to have that keyword? Once mill was keyworded, every card that did that added it to its text. While I understand why you don't want to bombard new players with non-evergreen keywords, is adding the word "surveil" where the effect is already spelled out problematic? In AFR, one use keywords were implemented and new players seemed to have no issues there. Thanks for your time!

Flavor words are a different animal than keywords in text. You can skip the flavor word and the card has everything you need to understand it. Keywords require adding reminder text for that to be true and start creating assumptions about what’s in the set and what’s mechanically important.With surveil, in particular, we have been having conversations about what effects we do often enough should become deciduous and surveil has been in that discussion.

The recent red-green card Bard Class seems to be an exception to the color pie article, which lists white as the primary (and only) color that gets "friendly to legendary permanents". Any comment on that?

We make bends from time to time.

Two other beret possibilities are the Secret Lair Blood Artist and Elvish Bard.

“So, I haven’t had a chance to look in on Blogatog for a while. I wonder what’s the topic of the day? Berets. Hmm, wasn’t expecting that.”Blood Artist - for sureElvish Bard - could be argued both ways

I think bard is not general than music. Shakespeare is known as the bard, but wrote plays and poems mainly.

A fine point.

Could we see Bards in future sets, outside of the Forgotten Realms, and in other colors outside of primarily Red/Green?

I do think we’ll see Bards in other sets.

So Bard Class is Red-Green and cares about legendary, but I know in Dominaria caring about Legendary was a White-Black limited archetype. Can all colors care about Legendary spells, in their own way?

Sure.

Will any of the new creature types from AFR be in regular sets after it?

Bard and Ranger have the best chances.
