Flame Burst

Card Name Changes in Graveyard

"This card's name is Dragon's Approach in the graveyard" - There actually are two cards like this already from the Odyssey block, Diligent Farmhand counts as a Muscle Burst and Pardic Firecat counts as a Flame Burst for the purposes of those effects. I"f [card name] is in a graveyard, [other card]'s effect counts it as an [other card]"

Reasons Behind Burst Cycle Experimentation

Odyssey Design Question: Do you remember what led to Flame Burst and Muscle Burst to have complimentary creatures that counted towards their X total while the other 3 cards in the Burst cycle didn't have corresponding creatures?

Experimentation.

Kindle Mechanic

You like Kindle mechanic. I liked it when I first saw it back in Tempest. I liked it even more when I saw Flame Burst and its little synergy with Pardic Firecat. Any chance we could see more cards with similar mechanic and synergy?

Luckily, I too like Kindle. I’m sure we’ll see it again.

Odyssey Kindle Cycle Query

In Odyssey's Kindle cycle, only Flame Burst and Muscle Burst had extra cards (Pardic Firecat and Diligent Farmhand) that boosted their effect. Why was this so?

We thought it would be fun to have a little of it but we didn’t want five cards doing it so we just kept it to red and green.

Flame Burst Reasoning

When you guys made flame burst, why didn't you just reprint kindle?

Because we made a cycle of them in Odyssey and we wanted to connect them with a naming convention.

Kindle Mechanic Revisit

Hey there! Do you think you will ever revisit the effect seen on cards such as Accumulated Knowledge or Flame Burst? I always thought that drawing 4 cards for 2 mana kinda because you got lucky was just cool. Really cool. I think they add something different to build around, and you could do just about anything with this effect! Just seems like a lot of room for expansion and I thought I would get your take on it. Do you like this effect? Hope it appears again? Or was it done away for a reason?

Ah, the Kindle mechanic (named after the first card to use the mechanic back in Tempest). I’m a big fan of the Kindle mechanic so I doubt we’ve seen the last of it.
