Hexproof and Un-Games

CR 702.1c states that "the same is true for" effects apply to each of a keyword's variants separately. 702.11g states that "hexproof from each " is shorthand for one variant of hexproof per possible quality of that characteristic. This means in non-Un games, discarding Breaker of Creation (which has hexproof from each color) to Indominus Rex, Alpha gives five counters and thus draws five cards. How many cards do you draw in an Un game? (In particular, does every eye color count?)

In Un-games, when counting colors, you count the five normal colors plus any color of permanents you have. You have the gold Dragon token from Sword of Dungeons & Dragons, you’re now at six. You also have a brown Avatar of Me, you’re now at seven. You have a pink Teddy bear counter from Gift Shop, you’re now at eight.

Real Card Line

To illustrate that every person has a different line for what's a "real" Magic card, my line is cards that can't easily be ruled on if you know the comprehensive rules. Most, but not all acorn cards cross the line, as does Panglacial Wurm. I do like a lot of nearly black border acorn cards, and even ask to include Gift Shop and Push Your Luck in my attraction deck. Universes Beyond as a line in the sand does not matter to me.

How do you feel about Tug of War? It wasn’t acorn because of rules (the Rules Manager said we could make it eternal), but because it didn’t feel right being eternal.

Token Flavor Constraints

Why couldn't you have Gift Shop or Push Your Luck make a different 2/2 token so they could be eternal legal. For example the 2/2 Black Zombie Employee token in the set? The flavor is a bit looser but I think it was worth the stretch for the sake of two more eternal legal attractions

It was too late to make new tokens, as the art was all in. Being able to buy or win employees is not acceptable flavor.

Token Choice Justification

>We did look to swap the Teddy Bear to cards that were already acorn. There unfortunately wasn’t another good token choice for either Gift Shop or Push Your Luck.Couldn't you use the 2/2 Black Zombie Employee token? Almost functionally identical only real difference is a mild flavor stretch you could make a "free monkeys" style joke out of.

Winning employees from the park as a prize was not a flavor we were willing to do.

Teddy Bear Tokens

Why did you make cards have pink teddy bear tokens if they could have been a “regular” magic color and this eternal legal?

The eternal decision was made late and the Teddy Bear token frame and art were done and we’d already chosen Water Gun Balloon Game as our release day promo and it has a pink Teddy Bear creature token (although 5/5). We did look to swap the Teddy Bear to cards that were already acorn. There unfortunately wasn’t another good token choice for either Gift Shop or Push Your Luck.

Acorn Cards Pink Teddy

With Attractions like Gift Shop and Push Your Luck what was the decision behind having those cards be acorn? I know they both make pink creatures but i was curious if there was a deeper reason.

Nope. It’s solely because the teddy bear is pink.

Wizards HQ Visit

I will in the near future go to Seattle and would really like to visit or just go in the lobby of Wizards, is there any way I can drop by? Do you guys have tours or a gift shop or something?

There is no gift shop and no tour. You can come to the fourth floor lobby to see Mitzi (the Shivan Dragon) but that’s about it.
