Coastal Piracy

Black's Library Exile

Hey Mark. What do you think about Coastal Piracy type effects that exile the top of an opponent's library upon dealing combat damage to be played later in black? I've seen this effect on Predator's Hour, but not many other places since Crimson Vow.

It’s something we could consider.

Humor in Premier Sets

Can you please keep including silliness outside of acorn cards? I don't play with acorn cards that cannot work within the game rules, but I do enjoy silliness in my Magic. The in-jokes about Coastal Piracy, clones and pirated copies are delicious. More, please. :)

There is definitely a large audience that wants some humor in the premier sets, so we’ll keep including some. That doesn’t mean the majority won’t be on the serious side.

Coastal Piracy Effects in Green

Are coastal piracy effects in green now? We’ve gotten Toski and Ohran frostfang relatively close together, and they’re the first ones in mono-green

Curiosity is primary blue and secondary green. That’s been true for a long time.

White's Reluctance to Share Cards

I really resent the idea that if white is going to draw cards it has to share. Could Shared Discovery or Coastal Piracy effects work in white?

No, but mutual draw is just one of several things we’re trying with white card draw. You’ll see more in future sets.

Tolski's Green Design Explanation

Was there an expectation when Tolski was designed that players would make the comparison to Coastal Piracy, Bident of Thassa, and Reconnaissance Mission and question why it was green?

The ability is primary blue, so blue more often grants it to multiple creatures, but the ability is secondary in green, so that means green can do it.

Legendary Squirrel Disappointment

I originally got my wife into magic by building her a Squirrel deck, presented a few cards at a time, Advent-style, with tokens drawn by our kids. I was *really* looking forward to the legendary squirrel! It feels pointless to argue about whether it's a pushed Ohran Frostfang or a colorshifted Coastal Piracy. I didn't think there was a way to make a legendary squirrel not fun, but tying it to green's unstoppable color pie creep did the job.

Monogreen has had the curiosity effect since Onslaught (2002). If it’s color pie creep, we’re playing the long game. : )

Green Follower Ability

Can mono-green have a plain Coastal Piracy effect?

If I understand your question correctly, yes. Green creatures can have the “Curiosity” ability.
