Demonic Pact

Modal Ability Clarification

Do permanents with modal abilities (like the new riku or demonic pact) count as modal spells? Or does the SPELL have to be modal, not the permanent that spell becomes?

I think it has to be a spell.

Black Sacrifice Shift

Hi Mark,Using bargain, black can sacrifice its own dangerous enchantments like Demonic Pact. Actually I've been made to notice that new Braids let's you sacrifice enchantments as well. This raises a question: is getting rid of your own enchantments still out of pie for black? I thought this was the reason why Feed the Swarm can't target your own things.

The Council of Colors decided to start letting black sacrifice enchantments.

Saga Conversion of Demonic Pact

Do you think if you made Demonic Pact today you would make it as a Saga?

No. I think having an option to pick the order is a cool part of the card.

Black Enchantment Strategy

I rather like Black's willingness to use dangerous enchantments (Demonic Pact, Triskaidekaphobia) without easy answers if things go wrong.

Any black enchantment removal probably wouldn’t destroy its own enchantments.

Demonic Pact Origin

I thought the fourth you make the card was Waste Not, not demonic pact as your article states?

Demonic Pact was in the top 8 of You Make the Card but it wasn’t the design picked by the audience. We just really liked it, so we made it a card.

Liliana on Darkpact

I think this is a good one. Is that Liliana depicted in the art on the card Darkpact?

Demonic Pact? Yes. Darkpact? No. That card predates Liliana by over a decade.

Alternate Win Conditions

Is 1 alternate lose/win condition per set going to be the norm going forward, after Demonic pact in Origins, Felidar Sovereign in BFZ, Hedron Alignment in OGW, and Triskaidekaphobia in SOI, or is this just an anomaly?

We tend to do no more than one, unless it’s a mechanic, as a default, but we don’t always have one.

Demonic Pact Origin

A guy at tonight's FNM was saying Demonic Pact was originally designed as an artifact in Innistrad called "Monkey Paw". It sounds like something you guys would do. Confirm/deny?

It was actual based on a design turned in for the latest “You Make the Card”.

Demonic Pact Origins

Demonic Pact blew my mind when I first saw it and it's still my favourite card from Origins. Thank you and/or please high five its creator(s), whoever's responsible. : )

Its creator is a player who submitted it during the last “You Make the Card”.

Liliana's Fate

01.08.2015: Hey Maro! "I think pre-spark Liliana." O.O Aren't you playing on some very thin ice Maro? If Liliana dies, I will never forgive you. And I mean dies dies. If she dies, but comes back due to some demonic pact or something, I can forgive you.

Liking art is not the same as liking a character. I’d fear more for the artist than Liliana. : )

Demonic Pact Inspiration

I think it's hilariously awesome that Demonic Pact got made out of a You Make the Card idea. Do you know who in R&D pushed for it?

Shawn Main, the set’s lead designer, put it in the set.
