Hi Mark, been stalking Blogatog for some years now, but finally dared to ask something for my birthday! Who wrote the flavor text of Doran, the siege tower? It's my favorite piece of text in the whole multiverse. Thanks a lot, peace out!

I’m not sure who wrote it. I can try to track it down, but the overlap on the creative team since Lorwyn is low. Happy Birthday!

Hi Mark! Love your blog and podcast. It's my birthday today, so I was wondering if you could give me some trivia on one of my favorite all-around cards (mechanics, art, flavor text)--Doran, the Siege Tower?

I believe Doran’s design name was Gnarls Barkley.Happy Birthday!

Tree-Folk Naming Fun

I vote the tree-folk should be named "gnarled barkley"

That was Doran, the Siege Tower’s design name.

Tri-Color Card Frequency

New • 02 Sep 2014 • Asked by mr-snufflegums • 48 Comments

Because its unlikely were getting a whole wedge block, is there still going to be three-color cards printed in standard? Especially cards like Doran, the Siege Tower, where we have at least some legendary cards, and maybe some spells and creatures at rare outside of sets where colors matter?

We have become much more willing over the last few years to do gold-cards on a case by case basis where they make sense. That means that tri-colored cards will be showing up from time to time in other sets.

Triple Appeal Card

Can you name a card that hits all three player psychographics?

We call it a “hat trick” in R&D. An example of a Hat Trick would be Doran, the Siege Tower from Lorwyn.

Legendary Squirrel Lord

Assuming Squirrels vs. Treefolk happened, the tree folk have Doran, the Siege Tower to lead them, but the Squirrels would need a Legendary Squirrel to lead them...right? :D

That’s the reason to make a Squirrel lord, for the Duel Decks? : ) If they ever let me, I’ll make a squirrel lord. I made Deranged Hermit, the closest thing the game has to a squirrel lord.
