Eureka Moment

RTR Draft Feasibility

New 28 Apr 2013 Asked by beemoney19 4 Comments

Was there a single eureka moment, decision, or breakthrough that convinced R&D that the RTR draft method was practical or logistically possible?


It wasn’t a single moment. We built three expansions out of Ravnica block cards are tested out the format. From that, we felt we were close enough that we could pull it off.

Undying Mechanic Genesis

New 13 Mar 2012 Asked by treago 2 Comments

The story for developing undying seem like very "duh" solutions (can't have persist in a +1/+1 set, so ill just make persist with +1/+1 and call it something else). Do most mechanics have that elegantly a solution? Or is that a rare eureka moment that doesn't occur often?


In my sixteen years of designing Magic cards that was probably my most “ah ha” moment. Usually answers are not this easy to come by.
