Dream of A Pie

New 24 Jul 2024 Asked by the-pokemon-prof 11 Comments

since people are sharing Maro dreams, I figured I'd share the dream I had a few weeks back (recorded in a place of honour in my drema journal) where I baked you a delicious apple pie, gave it to you at a convention, and when you bit into it you were horrified to find it full of foil copies of doubling season. you banned me from playing magic forever and i was thrown in the secret WOTC dungeons for my crime.


My dream self didn’t like Doubling Season pie?

Clamfolk Lore for D&D Conversion

New 23 Jul 2024 Asked by bill-cipher-official 8 Comments

Mr Mark, what is the lore / biology of the Clamfolk? I would really like to know, due to wanting to make a Clamfolk race in D&D 5e.


There isn’t much established lore save a few pieces of flavor text. Some Clamfolk live in Clamville. One Clamfolk village got shelled. There are Clamfolk musicians who play “Duke of Pearl”. There are Clamfolk rebels.

Potential for Other D&D Planes

New 19 Jul 2024 Asked by darcskies17 1 Comments

Hey Mark first I want to thank you for what you and your team do. Is it possible that we could get other D&D planes as sets. Faerun has a lot of history but there are other planes that could be awesome Inspiration for MTG?


It is possible.

Ethos Differences in Magic and D&D

New 19 Jul 2024 Asked by blorpityblorpboop 2 Comments

Can we have a podcast about the differences and analogies in Ethos between Magic and D&D(Color pie vs. alignments)?


I am not nearly as well versed in D&D’s alignments as I am Magic’s color pie.

Distribution of Unique Secret Lairs

New 14 Jul 2024 Asked by armadagon 4 Comments

Mark, there are still three secret Lairs that have mechanically unique cards: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Dr Who: Regeneration, and Secret Lair X Lara Croft. Previous "Universes Within" versions of mechanically unique Secret Lair cards were reprinted via The List, but with The List being phased out as of Bloomburrow, how does Wizards plan on distributing these cards in the future?


It hasn’t been announced yet.

Opinions about Flavor Words

New 13 Jul 2024 Asked by albus7 13 Comments

I just want to say I absolutely adore flavour words, probably my second favourite "mechanic" to come from AFR, after dungeons. (Also a big fan of classes).I love that flavour words can recontextualise the flavour of abilities we see super often, and I definitely think they add flavour


How do others feel about flavor words (italicized words that have new mechanical implications, they just add flavor texture)?

Using More or Less

New 28 Jun 2024 Asked by aalgot 3 Comments

Can I use more or less on Sword of dungeons and Dragons to roll a D21


You may. The trick is finding a 21-sided die.

Commenting Flavored Adventure Equipment

New 18 Jun 2024 Asked by crazedporcupine 7 Comments

We had adventure equipment in one of the dungeons and dragon's sets. Iirc they were flavored as the process of how they were made or journeying through the dungeons of where they were lost.

Understanding 'Each Color' in Acorn Games

New 13 Jun 2024 Asked by eredithdriscol 4 Comments

Per culation's ask about "each color" in acorn games, would having Water Gun Balloon Game or Sword of Dungeons and Dragons, which reference pink and gold but aren't those colors themselves, count for those colors being "active"?What about if I had Avatar of Me in the graveyard (and brown eyes)?


To count an additional color you have to have a permanent of that color on the battlefield, not just a permanent that refers to it.

Hexproof and Un-Games

New 13 Jun 2024 Asked by culation 4 Comments

CR 702.1c states that "the same is true for" effects apply to each of a keyword's variants separately. 702.11g states that "hexproof from each " is shorthand for one variant of hexproof per possible quality of that characteristic. This means in non-Un games, discarding Breaker of Creation (which has hexproof from each color) to Indominus Rex, Alpha gives five counters and thus draws five cards. How many cards do you draw in an Un game? (In particular, does every eye color count?)


In Un-games, when counting colors, you count the five normal colors plus any color of permanents you have. You have the gold Dragon token from Sword of Dungeons & Dragons, you’re now at six. You also have a brown Avatar of Me, you’re now at seven. You have a pink Teddy bear counter from Gift Shop, you’re now at eight.

Sword of D&D

New 02 Jun 2024 Asked by exalted-boda 117 Comments

I know it’s not how you meant it but Sword of Dungeons & Dragons also used a d20


That’s because it was referencing Dungeons & Dragons.

Roll d20d6

New 01 Jun 2024 Asked by aalgot 95 Comments

If/when “roll 1d20d6”


If. We only use d20 for Dungeons & Dragons to match how it’s referred in the game. Normal templating for die-rolling is “roll a <number word>-sided die”.

Special Draft Experience Feedback

New 29 May 2024 Asked by lebreadbox-blog 53 Comments

I played the 50th anniversary DnD battle for baldur's Gate special draft with the new dungeon. HOLY COW. Was this ever a fun draft. I LOVED the collector booster in your draft pool. I loved the new dungeon. And the set remains as fun as ever to draft and play. High fives, yes. But please, can we have more special drafts like this?


I can pass along how much you enjoyed it.

Die Rolling Cards

New 27 May 2024 Asked by violant-apologia 6 Comments

I'm not even sure die rolling exists outside of an Un or D&D set.
It does, though only on two cards: Mr. House, President and CEO, and Arden Angel.

Gaming Joy Shared

New 26 May 2024 Asked by snarkatr0n 4 Comments

Happy birthday, Mark! I got into Magic with New Phyrexia's Intro deck, but Dark Ascension was the first new set I was around for. I remember for our first few games my brother thought Llanowar Elves searched the deck for a forest each turn. You can imagine I lost more often than not. Dimir is still my favourite color combo from that. Now I'm lucky enough to play magic with my partner of 9 years (today's our anniversary) and two of my dnd friends, and it's been a constant in my life

D&D Card Trivia

New 16 May 2024 Asked by sapphic-recluse 20 Comments

Hello! Saturday, 18 May is my birthday and I'm requesting a(n early) spot of birthday trivia about any Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering, please. It could be about a card from CLB or AFR, or something on the D&D side like the Strixhaven sourcebook. Many thanks!



This is the first Dungeons & Dragons themed Magic card we made. It was designed for Unstable, but first appeared in a special box at Hascon. When I designed the card, it rolled three six-sided dice, but the D&D team asked if we could change it to a twenty-sided die as that was more iconic for D&D.Happy Birthday!

Double Faced Card Rules

New 11 May 2024 Asked by tiwaztyrsfist 18 Comments

Hi Mark, can the rules currently support multiple Double Faced cards with the same front but different backs, OR multiple Double Faced cards with different fronts and the same backs (not like a meld, but identical back faces)?

As an example, say 4 cards that were the same card on the front, but 4 different alternate versions on the back, like a D&D druid with 4 different wild shape variations, OR 4 cards that were different creatures on the front, but the back were all the same legendary shapeshifter (Ovar, Lazav, etc), and the backs were identical.


The rules can’t support same front differential back, but can, hypothetically, support different fronts, same back.

Power Words in D&D

D&D Spell Names

New 02 May 2024 Asked by battle-of-wits 32 Comments

The title of the card "Power Word Kill" implies the existence of other Power Words in the multiverse. Two quick questions: If or when, another "power word" spell? And If or when, a "silly" power word spell?


That’s a D&D spell.
