I'm interested in why there is only one non-acorn attraction that you can claim a prize from. Was this unintentional or was there a reason?

The cards were designed a ways before the decision to make the ones that could be Eternal legal, Eternal legal, so we just converted what we could. The main criteria at determining Eternal legality was “can it work in the rules?”. The one wrinkle was the Teddy Bear token that was a prize for some Attractions was pink and the rules don’t handle pink as a color. We’d already made the token and were using Water Gun Balloon Game as a promo and it also used the same pink Teddy Bear token which kept us from changing its color.

CR 702.1c states that "the same is true for" effects apply to each of a keyword's variants separately. 702.11g states that "hexproof from each " is shorthand for one variant of hexproof per possible quality of that characteristic. This means in non-Un games, discarding Breaker of Creation (which has hexproof from each color) to Indominus Rex, Alpha gives five counters and thus draws five cards. How many cards do you draw in an Un game? (In particular, does every eye color count?)

In Un-games, when counting colors, you count the five normal colors plus any color of permanents you have. You have the gold Dragon token from Sword of Dungeons & Dragons, you’re now at six. You also have a brown Avatar of Me, you’re now at seven. You have a pink Teddy bear counter from Gift Shop, you’re now at eight.

I'd question the "no flavor difference btwn tokens and cards". To me, most tokens feel like extras in a movie. Some citizens, some goblins, some zombies, even a sea monster. There are exceptions like legendary/named tokens of course (often sidekicks), but in general tokens feel a bit more "generic" than cards. P.s.: I love tokens, this is not an attack on them - just vibes.

I’ve had this conversation with the creative team many times. If a Bear and a token Bear are both in front of you, there’s no way to tell them apart with the naked eye. It’s just two Bears.

Is the Kudo, King Among Bears ability in white's share of the pie? I thought P/T setting was now Blue on the last Mechanical Color Pie update, making Reprobation and Harmonious Archon a bend/break

Green can also do it.

Why isn’t Kudo, King Among Bears a noble?

Kudo is not actually a king. It’s a metaphor.

If I’m not mistaken, Archmage’s Newt is blue’s first bear without a drawback. (Numerous examples of course exist of blue bears with a boon plus a drawback).Are bears now available for all colors without drawbacks?

Only when aimed at constructed at rare and mythic rare and infrequently.

Congratulations Mark on finally getting Donutperson as a creature type in OTJ. What confectionary creature is next on your list to add to Magic?

It’s part of our bigger “desserts matter theme”. I’m trying to get a Bear Claw that’s a Bear Dessert.

Please make a three-mana Ambush Viper with no additional upsides. I need it for a cube; Ambush Viper is too good because it outshines Ashcoat Bear, but at three mana it would be about right.

A very narrow ask. : )

People are always asking you for trivia, so I thought I’d give you some instead in case you didn’t know about it. We got a new legendary bear in the Karlov Manor Commander product, which ties into the main set’s theme of detectives because a group of bears is sometimes called a sleuth!

: )

At the beginning of upkeep, I'd like to move birthday trivia phase please!
Can you please tell me anything about Duskana, Ayula, or Goreclaw? Love me some Bear facts.

Ethan Fleischer has a bear deck and is a huge fan of bears. Many bear cards have his hand in them. Happy Birthday!
