Amonket Flamingo Request and Birthday

Hello Mark! I would like to invoke the rite of Birthday Trivia (a day late) with a request for Amonket, since I was an Ancient Egyptian Mythology kid growing up.

I'd also like to make an animal request... my partners' favorite animals (a duck and ferret respectively) have appeared on cards (Decoy Duck playtest card and Joven's Ferrets), but my favorite animal, the noble flamingo, has to make do with only a sticker as far as I can tell. Can there be a card with a flamingo someday? Even just a reprint of "Uncage the Menagerie" or similar? Or a variety of Aven?

Thank you for all the work you do for us, both on the cards themselves and demystifying and discussing the hobby.

Amonket and a flamingo, got it. They probably won’t be in the same set. : )Happy Birthday!

Request For Pets Batch

Since people are requesting batches…I’d like to request PETS: dogs, cats…maybe mice, ferrets? I am sure it would be poplular.

Maybe one day.

Jovan's Ferret Origin

Hi Mark, I enjoyed your MagicCon Philly recap! But why DOES Jovan have a ferret?

Because the person the character was based on (Kyle Namvar, one of the head designers of Homelands) had a ferret.

Ferrets and Green

I think the important question is: are ferrets still in green's slice of the rodent pie?

I assume so.

Rare Creature Types

The loneliest creature types (which have only one representative creature card not counting Changelings, tokens and Mistform Ultimus) are Brushwagg, Dreadnought, Ferret, Lamia, Mole, Oyster, Pest, Reflection, Sable, Spawn and Wombat. Where does each rank on the Beeble scale?

They are all 8 and 9’s. I can say one of them shows up on a new card in Unsanctioned. : )

Joven's Ferrets Trivia

It is my dad's birthday tomorrow, and as he is the one who got me into magic, I was wondering if you had any trivia on his favorite card, Joven's Ferrets?

Joven’s Ferrets is a referencec to one of Homelands’ designers, Kyle Namvar. I think Joven was a nickname and he owned a ferret. Happy Birthday to your dad!

Animals Holding Sparks

Hypothetically can animals like ferrets or pigeons. Hold sparks?

There’s some level of sapience required.

Fate of Joven's Ferrets

Have we seen the last of Joven's Ferrets?

It’s doing things no longer in green’s slice of the pie, so odds are low.

Homelands Power Level

Flashback: Just got my first Homelands packs. Are you afraid this set is too powerful? I mean, Ihsan's Sahde and Joven's Ferrets seem broken.

1995 Mark: I’m a developer and I can say that Homelands is not going to break Type 2 any time soon.

Joven Character Origins

What's the deal with Joven, Chandler, and Joven's Ferrets? Who are they really?

Joven, I believe, was Kyle Namvar, one if the designers of Homelands. I know he had a pet ferret. I don’t know if Chandler was based on anyone.

More Ferrets?

I think the game needs more Ferrets. What's your opinion on this?

I am pro-Ferret. But not a Ferret lover for those playing the “how much does Maro like something” game.
