Hey Mark, I turn 20 today and I was hoping you might have some trivia on my first card which got me hooked on magic, Broodmate Dragon. Thanks for everything you do for the best game I've ever played!


Broodmate Dragon’s playtest name was Double Dragon. And yes, it’s my design. : ) Happy Birthday!

How about Hoarding Dragon, any of the Fate legends, Broodmate Dragon, or Dragon Broodmother?


No, I had a hand in the cycle, yes, no.

Broodmate Dragon Design

New 05 Sep 2012 Asked by quillypen 1 Comments

Broodmate Dragon confuses me. Why was it made that way, instead of a sorcery that makes two Dragon tokens?


Because cards interact with a creature with an enter the battlefield trigger differently than a sorcery that creates two tokens. For example, you can Raise Dead a Broodmate Dragon (return from graveyard to hand) and not a sorcery. We try to tweak things because Magic is all about figuring out how different interactions work. Making things a creature sometimes and a sorcery other times allows fun discoveries.
