Dwarven Mine

Fabled Passage Design

New • 25 Sep 2019 • Asked by kandykidzero • 54 Comments

Is there a reason why "Fabled Passage" doesn't look for basic land types? It would have been more flavorful to be able to look for the specific locales like "Gingerbread Cabin" and "Dwarven Mine" or even "Mistveil Plains" in older sets. My guess is there may have been a concern for older formats gaining access to a painless fetchland, thus driving up the demand for a specific rare out of the gates.

Basic land is a play design decision to limit shenanigans.

Nonbasic Land Types

Hi Mark I love Dwarven Mine, and that it is a Mountain, are the land types on non basic land something that is difficult to justify as it is rarely done, or is it just to keep it more unique?

One of the biggest issues of basic land types on nonbasic lands is it adds an amount of power to the land which has to be accounted for.

Hey Mark, Do you find it as shocking as I do that in the history of Magic: The Gathering, the has not been a card named Dwarven Mine until now?

It is kind of shocking, yes.
