Burgeoning

White vs Green Ramp

Hi Mark! Over time I've noticed that green as a color can ramp through both instant/sorcery (cultivate, rampant growth, etc.) and enchantments (wild growth, burgeoning, dictate of karametra, etc.) Would there be serious breaks to the pie if white was able to ramp via enchantments at all?

Green is the ramp color. We let white do some mana catch-up, but white is about creature ramp not mana ramp.

Angrath's Side Venture

Won't the War of the Spark get in the way of Angrath's burgeoning food truck business?

He’ll combine the two - serving vengeance and enchiladas.

Defending Goblin Test Pilot

Do all the people hatin' on Goblin Test Pilot get this up-in-arms about every Pillarfield Ox and Urban Burgeoning? I mean, do they expect every card to beat out Snapcaster Mage or Thragtusk in level of expert play mode? Let the Johnnies have their little cards. It's not like the true spikes aren't going to limit their viable playing pool to 2% of the cards in standard anyway! Anyway, adventurous people will play this in limited, Johnnies will put it in decks. I promise.

Goblin Test Pilot will see plenty of play just not in tournament venues. Many people forget that the majority of Magic play isn’t at high level tournament-quality events.

Vocabulary Expansion

I now understand why you make bad cards! On my SAT this morning, I only knew what "burgeoning" meant because of urban burgeoning, the frequent last pick in RTR drafts. Thanks for expanding my vocabulary.

You’re welcome. Anyone else have any “helped me with my vocabulary” stories?
