Discontinuity

Time Stop Trivia

Last few moments before I go to sleep on this, my day of birth, I must ask for the Sacred Rite™ of Birthday Trivia.Do you have any trivia on either Time Stop, or Discontinuity? I love the Temporal Control style cardsThanks!

When Time Stop was first designed, there was a lot of talk about it. Could it work in the rules? How do you template it? Would players understand how it works? In the end, we thought “end the turn” was so cool a line of text, we decided we had to make the card.Happy Birthday!

Comparing Gameplay and Flavor

Re: discontinuity. People I know complained that The Tarrasque doesn't regenerate/isn't sufficiently unkillable, and that the uncommon dragons' breath weapons only trigger once instead of whenever they attack. Magic could have represented these more faithfully; I suspect you didn't because they wouldn't have played as well, and don't disagree with that decision, but I can tell you that others see it differently.

Good gameplay does trump flavor even in normal Magic sets.

Planar Chaos Concept

How about a Planar Chaos set with alternate tribes and parallel timeline cards instead of color pie pandemonium? Flavour discontinuity not mechanical breaks?

I’m not sure the creative team we be on board, but it’s something I’d be more likely to make as a Planar Chaos 2.
