Streamlining Library Mechanics

New 02 Mar 2023 Asked by attracte 55 Comments

Hey Mark, have y'all talked about shortening the mechanic for looking at the top X cards of your library, picking one of a certain quality and revealing it and putting it into your hand, and then putting the rest on the bottom or graveyard? There are around 4 every set and there could be plenty of room to save.E.g. Ancient Stirrings could be "Research 4 for a colourless card" and Forbidden Alchemy could be "Research 4 for any card and the rest go to your graveyard."


It is a topic that gets discussed from time to time.

Flashback Cost Flavor

New 22 Jan 2014 Asked by 4blackout 7 Comments

What's the flavor behind Flashback cards having a different color in its flashback cost than in its mana cost? Cards like Unburial Rites and Forbidden Alchemy confuse me.


It’s a similar flavor to a multicolor card but a little less. : )
